+----[ Luke Tymowski ]--------------------------------------------- | Hello Andrew, | | >You should set flags to say when it's safe to render the header/footer, | >or you should remove the header/footer calls from documents you want to | >embed. | | Can't do the latter. | I'm building a weblog. I need to have the user enter entries for each day. | I need for each day to display properly on its own - which means each needs | header and footer code. No it doesn't. You need to seperate content, and structure. Each day can simply be <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var day_content> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Where day_content is what you have now sans header and footer. I don't know your structure, but, this is how I would do it knowing that... | And I need the front page to be created on the fly, | consisting of the three latest entries, but, of course, without the header | and footer code appearing in the body of the document. Yep you can get the content... | It now works as it should, but I want to know if there is a more elegant | way of doing what I want to do. No point pointing fellow newbies at | something and then have one of the gurus suggest I could have done it much | more simply and elegantly. Yes there is, and then you don't need all that hackery in the header/footer. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|
