Templates?

[colicab-d]

hi ok i need a wee bit of help.. so far all my hacking has been done to add extra tools to the admin panel.

however i hought id write a simple shout box fr a friends vb. The prob im having is that ive included global.php but i dont think thats what i need for the html parts of the script to work.

when i say this i mean stuff like $tableheadercolour etc, as so far ive got it all written into the script but its just showing up as orange/blue boxes not the forum colours it should be

likewise i have $header and $footer included but again they just show up as $header and $footer not there respective html equivs :P


should i maybe have <? $tanleheader ?> like that in each case? seens how this is written directly to the script and isnt a template in the admin panel?
