Template help?

[mattster2002]

Hey guys, I am relatively new to vB but I have been given the task of converting a quite large PHPNuke web site to VBadvanced/VBulletin. Now heres the general problem I have, I am completely unfamiliar with the vb form of templates.

If I am wanting to modify the templates, which I have tried various ways of doing, how do i exactly add new templates so that i can just call them like through other templates, ie/ $header calling the teamplate header

Cheers

Are these templates you are wanting to have $header working in, outside the vBulletin system?

Sorry thought i might clarify myself further,
Say i've made some extra templates and i want to include them in the header, How do i make it so i can call them in the header, ie/ by using a variable $templatename just to include the template? is that possible

[mattster2002]

anyone have any thoughts?

in the php file corresonding to that page (or if it's in a global file, header/footer, in th global.php) add this for each template you want to include:

PHP Code:

eval('$templatevar .= "' . fetch_template('templatename') . '";'); 


change the $templatevar and the templatename for each template.
