I did that on my forum and have a costumized header whitout a problem.

I had originally done that, but the header code got screwed up at some point, so i had to revert the template. Having all my header code (it's a bit long since it calls java for rollover buttons, and such) in one place makes my life alot easier for two reasons:

first, I can revert the header without lossing any of my code since it's located in an independant html file; and second, i can update evey page on my site by changing one file. The header template only controls pages that are under vB 'jurisdiction'.

I have gotten the header working, and have found no errors so far...


My question is, how can I globalize the footer in the same fashion? attaching it to global shutdown puts it in about the right place, but causes the whole admin CP to "freak out" for lack of a better term.

Any ideas on how i can attach an HTML file where the footer goes?

Thanks,

Nick
