Build a template or add content with hooks?

[bigbluesquid]

I have seven templates from a previous WP theme and I've tried unsuccessfully to integrate them with the Magazine theme.
Before I try any further I have looked at using Hooks, simply because the content within the template should appear after the page content. The template content is a PHP search program and therefore has no effect on the styling or layout of the pages, it should simply be a function after the page content.

I tried adding the following to the functions.php page with no success (the template code loads but nothing else appears):

/** MIKES TEMPLATES */
add_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'include_template_findavenue' );
function include_template_findavenue() {
require(CHILD_DIR.'/template_find_a_venue.php');


Should I go back and try integrating the code as a template or continue to figure out how to make it work with hooks?

Just discovered this for defining actions to operate only on specific pages which works perfectly:

/** MIKES TEMPLATES */
add_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'include_template_findavenue' );
function include_template_findavenue() {
if ( is_page( 'eating-out' ) ) {
require(CHILD_DIR.'/template_find_a_venue.php');
}
}
