Custom Templates ^

When editing templates in community i noticed I could save as and create "Custom Templates"

For example user_test.html

It then appears as user_test.html ^

What are these used for? Can they be access? and do they have the variables available?

I tried community/community.cgi?do=user_test

But this didn’t work.

Just wondered what they were for.

The way the templates are stored, is;

/admin/template_set_name/ - All the original template files are here, in case you need to use the "restore" function.

/admin/template_set_name/local - The modified templates are kept here. If a copy of the template is found in this folder, the ^ will show up Smile

Hope that explains it :)

I had a played around with them and understand what they can do now. Which is not what i want them to do.

I want to embed another page into the community main page (user_home.html). The page is actually a .pl file that produces html.
Normally i could do this with something like SSI;


I can’t do this within the user_home.html.

How can I embed this page/.pl into the user_home.html generated page?

Help me! Smile

A global should do the job Smile

<%calander_grab%>

Code:
sub { 
  use LWP::Simple; 
  my $got = get("http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl"); 
  return $got; 
}

... or this MAY work (little shorter);

Code:
sub { use LWP::Simple; return get("http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl"); }

Cheers

Thanks Andy,

hurmmm...

They both return the number 512! into the HTML

Im calling them with;
<%cal%>

The script should return a html calendar. The script works fine when called normally by the way!
