Accessing new template

[pdmedia]

I am creating different footers for different sections...

for instance on in the showthread template the original footer is called with

$footer

I have created a new footer template and called it "footer_new"

I have tried calling it with

$footer_new

but alas it does not work...

O know I must have to tell php somewhere that $footer_new points to the "footer_new" template but I don't know where.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the link but I think what I need is info on how I access the template I allready Made

And that hack explains how to do that. Just ignore the parts about adding templates. It tells you how to make the forum see the template. We cant post it here cause its a hack, and all hacks are at vB.org.

eval("\$variablename = \"".gettemplate('templatename')."\";");

That would allow it to be used on all pages and add an extra SQL querey to every page...

Then what would be a better way to do it?
