Default How to call a plugin via a template?

A friend of mine created a simple plugin so i can sell some ads on my site, but I cant figure out how i call the plugin in a template.

The template I'm dealing with is the postbit_legacy template in vb 3.5.4, so I set the hook location as postbit_display_start and named my plugin 'forum ad'

Here is my plugin php code:

PHP Code:
switch ($forum[forumid]) {

case 
"1":
$forumad "this ad will show up in forum #1";
break;

case 
"2":
$forumad "this ad will show up in forum #2";
break;

default:
$forumad "this is my default ad";
break;

Lame question time: What do i put in my template to call this plugin?

Thanks in advance,

Try changing your plugin to this:
PHP Code:
ob_start();
switch (
$forum[forumid]) {

case 
"1":
$forumad "this ad will show up in forum #1";
break;

case 
"2":
$forumad "this ad will show up in forum #2";
break;

default:
$forumad "this is my default ad";
break;
}
ob_end_clean(); 
Just make sure the hook location is postbit_display_start and then you'll put $forumad wherever you want it to be within your postbit_legacy template.
