Merging Template Hook Ins?

[Liff]

Thanks again, Lynne - Still the same though.. The Thumbnails seem bulletrpoof, they always seem to work but the banner only works outside forumdisplay.

The slider works fine inside threads too..

Is there any way around using a plugin by putting this code anywhere else, or even creating a php file at server level or is that just being silly?

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('banner_rotator');
$templatevalues['banner_rotator'] = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('header', $templatevalues);
