Include own templates?

[jcr]

This question has probably been asked a couple of hundred times..

I have made a template in the Style manager... called bp_header

Now I want to include this in the header template and simply call it by typing

$bp_header

what do I have to do?

There most basic way is to put:

PHP Code:

    eval('$bp_header = "' . fetch_template('bp_header') . '";'); 


in the phpinclude_start template. However, you will have an uncached template on each page (1 extra query)

Thanks that worked for me!, but i dont understand the meaning of an uncached template ( 1 extra query ) , how can I make this a good thing? ie.. a cached template instead?

Basically this means that there is 1 extra query on each page and that could increase loading time. The best way to stop this is to open global.php and find (Line 333):

PHP Code:

'STANDARD_REDIRECT' 


and replace that with

PHP Code:

'STANDARD_REDIRECT',
'bp_header'
