new templates and global.php ?

[George L]

i have a question that goes back to making custom templates and adding the additional code to the global.php file:

okay in global.php there's only one instance of fivelinks

eval("\$fivelinks = \"".gettemplate("fivelinks")."\";");

i want to add a second alternative fivelinkstxt template to use... so can i just add another line below this so it's like

eval("\$fivelinks = \"".gettemplate("fivelinks")."\";");
eval("\[b]$fivelinks-txt[/b] = \"".gettemplate("[b]fivelinks-txt[/b]")."\";");

?

is it the same for header and footer in global.php that i can add a second line under it ?

eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate("header")."\";");

eval("\$footer = \"".gettemplate("footer")."\";");

i.e. $header2

eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate("header")."\";");
eval("\[b]$header2[/b] = \"".gettemplate("[b]header2[/b]")."\";");

Yup, exactly.

Although I'm not sure how PHP will handle $fivelinks-txt as a variable - change it to $fivelinksTXT to be sure.
