You could create a plugin using the "global_setup_complete" hook and modify the $footer variable at that point (you'd need php code to read in the file, which I guess could get complicated if it includes styles or javascript) Of course you could just copy the HTML you want to the footer template, but I guess if that would work for you you'd have done it already.

the data in the .html file is updated every 5 minutes so that wont work.

OK, how about this: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/t..._externalfiles

(Someone just asked about including php output in another thread, but the manual has instructions for HTML as well).

is this what you're talking about

SHTML or ASP: <!--#include virtual="/path_relative_to_site" -->
PHP: <?php include("../path_relative_to_document") ?>
