Fitting my own system within the templates

[Tom Freeman]

Hello,

I have a forum running the latest version of vbulletin, you can see the link in my signature. I have coded up a little application that I want to use alongside the forum. It's kind of a database of affiliate programs.

Can anyone give me any advice how I can fit my software into the overall templating framework of vbulletin? The system i've written is really very simple, and at the moment I just 'include' a header and footer within each file. How I could just take the HTML code from the forum and hardcode a header and footer file to wrap around my application, but this would be a bit naff as it wouldn't change when I made changed to the template. I would manually have to edit the HTML in the header and footer files to match the forum.

So I would much rather utilise the forum templating system somehow... but how?

Any help, advice or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
