Error: custom link

[michiel]

Using CPG 1.3.3. I have developed my site http://www.dwaalgasten.nl/fotoblog. I have made my own template. Now I would like to make a second album, and decided to start all over with CPG 1.4.8. I want the lay-out to be exactly the same, so I copied parts of my old theme.php file into the new one (see below). However, I get an error message at my new site http://www.dwaalgasten.nl/frummel

Template error
Failed to find block 'custom_link'(#(<!-- BEGIN custom_link -->)(.*?)(<!-- END custom_link -->)#s) in :

. In my old file there was no reference to a custom_link. Can anybody help me? Thanks!!
