Include PHP in an advert

[kh99]

You could certainly try that. So then you *would* use 'navbar' for the template name.

If that doesn't work, try temporarily adding a line to the plugin, like this:

ob_start();
include "/path/to/file.php";
$included_file = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$included_file = "Included File";
vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array('included_file' => $included_file));

and see if that shows up.
