[NBP web-reskin] Templating Improvement - Voices of Our Readers (for Ethan or Edie)

[swdidomenico at comcast.net]

Hi Ethan and Edie, 



When I navigate to Ways to Help > Voices of our Readers,  the [tempate header] and [tempate footer] code appear in the page for these urls: 



http://26.camp.nbp.temphost.net:9026/ic/nbp/support/voices.html 

http://28.camp.nbp.temphost.net:9028/ic/nbp/support/voices.html 

http://29.camp.nbp.temphost.net:9029/ic/nbp/support/voices.html 

http://30.camp.nbp.temphost.net:9030/ic/nbp/support/voices.html 

http://31.camp.nbp.temphost.net:9031/ic/nbp/support/voices.html 



It works in Camp32:

While I have you on the line, when it comes to creating "Templates" in Interchange is there a set of commands to add a new Template to a catalog? Better yet how does does  [var HEAD] know where to get the HEAD template from? I have been going through the Interchange documentation but I have not found an answer. 



As I understand it we are switching from the ITL [var] tag to the [template] usertag. Is this correct? 



Also during our first conference call there was talk of a "Template Engine" and a Database holding the location of the Template. Is this how it works or did I misunderstand? I read the documentation available on the ITL [var] tag - access local (catalog) and global Interchange variables. 



In order to gain some experience, I copied a template catalogs/npb/templates/regions/SUPPORT_TEMPLATE_TOP and named it SUPPORT_TEMPLATE_TOP_STEVE. Then I modified index.html to use [var SUPPORT_TEMPLATE_TOP_STEVE]. As you might have guessed, nothing happened, it did not find the template. So I take it there is a command or something to add the template to the catalog. 



Thanks, 



Steve
