hostextinfo being ignored

You must add a line to your cgi.cfg file, to use extended host 
information.  It looks like this:

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/HostExtInfo.cfg

The name of my cfg file is capitalized like that, since I also use 
NagMIN to configure Nagios.

Controlled through the NagMIN Module Config, I believe.  (Go to NagMIN 
through Webmin, then click "Module Config" in the upper-left corner.)

NagMIN changes must be verified and activated each time.  Make changes 
to your database, then click the "Verify" button at the top of the main 
Database menu.  If it verifies without warnings, next click the 
"Activate" button to make your changes live.

I thought it already did that.
