vB header and footer

[Airwork]

I have skinned my vBulletin board (header and footer) to match my Joomla site. BBPixel has done this for me. Now I try to get Photopost to look the same. But when I use the vB3 integration in Photopost, it doesn't look like it should. Navigation is gone, width is not good, etc.

Now I have tried to paste the vB header and footer in Photopost (without the vB3 integration), and it looks like it should... except for the vB navigation. It show this code in the header:

$spacer_open $_phpinclude_output 1">$vbphrase[page_x]-$threadinfo[title] $foruminfo[title_clean]" /> 1">$vbphrase[page_x]-$foruminfo[description_clean]" /> $style[css]

and this in the footer

$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]
$spacer_close
$vbphrase[contact_us] - $vboptions[hometitle] - $vbphrase[admin] - $vbphrase[mod] - $vbphrase[archive] - $vbphrase[privacy_statement] - $vbphrase[top]

$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
$cronimage $vboptions[copyrighttext]

What can I do to correct this? I guess I have to direct these codes to the vB location, but my knowledge of PHP is very limited and I am not sure how to go about this. Anyone any ideas?

I would personally go back to using the vb3 header and making all relative url's are full urls etc instead you need to correct all those statements above with the correct links in html

Let's say I would be able to do that and correct it with the full URL's, there is another problem. When integrated with vB3 it only uses the main forumstyle, is that correct? Because that would mean I could not change the advertisingbanner and photo in the header. And I need to be able to switch photo and/or banner.

It pulls the users style correct

You can have alternate headers footers by loading new headers footers you create

Add my own area to the top of every page?
