so you can see that the first line is creating a vB_Template object. In the code above you don't have that line but you're still using $templater as if it were set to an object.

white page.
A white page usually means there's some error in the code (I suppose that's obvious), but it's hard to debug code just by looking at part of it. I don't see anything wrong with what you posted (maybe someone else will).
Are you using a plugin or still working in forum.php?
