Working with the template outside of SMF

[calash]

I am trying to expand the eFiction to SMF bridge I made by giving it the option to use the SMF template in eFiction.  I have a process to do this for another bridge I have however I can not seem to find a similar method for SMF.


I did some research and found I can load the template, then call SSI.php to display the above part, then end SSI to display the below part.  This works for the above, but not for the below due to eFiction's setup.  What I need to do is load the template parts into variables at the beginning of the script, say $above and $below.  Then I can assign these to the eFiction template objects and call them when I need them.

My problem is I can not find any method in SSI.php to actually load the template part into a variable instead of just displaying it.  Is there a method to do this?

Thanks

Did some research and I am able to call the template parts on the fly, but I still can not store there output instead of displaying it.

I am guessing from the lack of responces this is not possable.
