Connect vb to a "site" in a subdirectory

[chrayres]

Just want to start out letting you know I'm a VB noob still, so please forgive me if this doesn't make sense or is completely ridiculous

I have VB installed on the root (www.giantstridedives.com). I created a catalog of sorts on a subdirectory and manually recreated the theme to match on this catalog (http://www.giantstridedives.com/locations). So far everything is fine because I only needed the general theme and not all of the detailed stuff from VB. Until I decided it'd be easier to port in the navigation from VB so I didn't have to recode all of that to match.

I've already copied the entire #navbar css section into my stylesheet for this catalog. I went to copy the navbar code from the template to place in my catalog when it occurred to me that the code utilizes a lot of {vb:stuff} that probably won't connect from my subdirectory.

My question then is if there is a way to have that code communicate with the VB that's installed on my root so it will place the navigation on this catalog (and the other 3 I plan to make after I get this 1 working.) Does this make sense?

Clarification: Is there a javascript or something that I would add in the header that would allow these pages to understand those {vb:} commands?
