Use vb4 header and footer on non-vb pages?

[tonmo]

I checked out the article how-to's, but the ones I saw didn't meet my needs... I have several dozen content pages that I want to have the same look and feel as the rest of the site -- but I don't want to use the template system. All of my pages currently leverage server-side includes to render the header and footer, pretty much using standard HTML. I'd like to update these include files and replace the code with whatever would be needed to render the vb header, navbar and footer for my site... Again, I'd rather not do this by copying/pasting my content into templates.

Is there a way to do this / any ideas?

If you don't want to use the template system, then you will have to just copy the source code for the header and footer and put it into your php page. That means everytime you change something in the header/footer, you will have to go in and manually change it in your pages.
