Barry, What you are trying to do with sections is one of the main reasons they exist. All you have to do is add the section name as a prefix to your template followed by underscore, ie, sectionname_header for the header. Keep in mind though that this may not be the best way to go unless your sections all look radically different. Rather, if they are variations on a theme, then stick with the one header template but populate it with elements that can vary depending on which section you're in (template-toolkit is part of Slash just for this). Good luck -- you're at the point where the tedium of installing Slash starts to pay off!

I think that no at the moment. Maybe you can collect this thread and make a perldoc or html or txt. Maybe I can do it. Then we can give it to slashcode core to integrate it in the faq or in some other section. Cheers -- Alvaro > > Alex > > > ===== > Alex McLintock al...@OW...

OK, I am getting back to this point now after letting it ride - now it has risen to the top of the to -o list.... I have a section called "Support." The only template associated with that is called "SectionIndex;misc;Support". I modified the "index;index;default" template to call the "SectionIndex" where I think the original called mainIndex or something like that. This all works well and good. But what I notice is that the main site page has all the right hand side blocks and the Support section does not. I tried Nathan's advice above and from the admin/blocks interface created 2 blocks (both static) in the "Support" section: 1 - Support_more 2- freshmeat_more I added some random content to the Support_more block. I am guessing for now (correct me if am wrong) that the freshmeat_more would have content filled automatically via portald. I set the number of stories to display on the Support section to 1, since I am just configuring this site and there is not much content. I submitted 3-4 stories to the Support section successfully. The goal is to get the 2 boxes to appear on the right, but none of this seems to have made any difference. I can't find any additional documentation in the FAQ at all. So far someone has quickly stepped up with the answer for my questions - I hope this time is no different! Thanks! Barry |

All you have to do is add the section name as a prefix to your template followed by underscore, ie, sectionname_header for the header. Uhmm, I remeber that you change the section template in the template name, as I put in other answer. For example, to have a index tempate for the debian section: index;index;debian ... ¿isn't this correct?
