How do I include my custom template in current template?

[Steve Machol]

Phpinclude has been replaced by the global_start plugin. Please see these instructions for including PHP, TXT or HTML in a template:

I didn't find :
PHP Include Code Templates -> phpinclude_start

where could I find it for 3.6 forums ?

Excellent, thank you very much for the missing link

Edit this template:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> PHP Include Code Templates -> phpinclude_start

Add this code:

eval('$mySimpleTemplate = "' . fetch_template('mySimpleTemplate') . '";');

Now you can use that variable in the SHOWTHREAD template.

I've made a simple template (called mySimpleTemplate) and it's sitting nicely under the Custom Templates area of my current Style.

I'd like to include its output within a page that is being made up from another template (say, just after the navbar in the SHOWTHREAD template).

.
$header
$navbar
$mySimpleTemplate
.
.
.

I assume that somewhere I have to assign $mySimpleTemplate to point(?) to my template or call it in some way, but how and where do I do it?
