Including one template in another

[m0nde]

I've created a template with html in it called

adv_portal_spring_raffle_2008_winners_bit

and in another template, I've included $adv_portal_spring_raffle_2008_winners_bit
but it does not show the information in that template

how do i get this to work?

I've previously done this with other templates to show various other information and it seemed to work.
This time it simply wont.

You would have to create a plug-in that fetches the first template data and stores it in a variable and then place a reference to that variable in the second template

But if the template is just a template, why not just copy the code over in place of the variable

The information is added to each week and I want one place where I can add the winners so I don't have to enter it several times when I want to use that information.

It is used in 4 other templates.

I'll look up how to create that template data to store in a variable. Thankyou.

I've found that I need to include something like this:

$includedhtml = implode('', file('path/to/this/file/myfile.html'));

What do I do to create an array from a template?

Why do you need to create an from a template? (Though that doesn't make much sense, what you said).

For the instructions given in the link for including a HTML file. Then just edit the HTML file and your changes should be reflected on the page.
