Re: [Slashcode-general] per-section templates?

[Nathan V. <na...@th...>]

For *blocks*, the old method still applies in slash 2-- so if you want an
"older stuff" block in your debian section, you have to make a block named
debian_more (that's why by default there are blocks like features_more and
articles_more).  Also, if you have a block named "debian" it will show up
on all the pages in the debian section (index and articles).

And in case anyone's confused, the semicolon notation is used when you
dump the templates using template-tool, and in the comments.  Using the
template editor in backSlash, you have to use the section field.  You may
need to make a new "debian" section in it (using the new template form).

Speaking of sections, it is important to note that the "default", "light",
and "admin" sections used for templates are NOT the same as the other
sections.  Regular sections (like "features", "articles" or "debian") are
paradigmatically kind of like sections of a newspaper, but these special
ones are just for templates.  If the user is an author, slash looks for a
given template in the admin section first, then the default section.
Same with light view, or with one of the site sections.

So Barry, you could make multiple SectionIndex templates , and if you set
their section field differently they will be different, and if one doesn't
exist the default one would be used.

Alex, you silly newbie, what is "documentation"?  Actually, it would be
great if you could collect the wisdom on this topic and submit it to
slashcode.com or something...
