1. Kanarie: Template Processing
Tommy,
I've got a template that conditionally includes another file, and that other
file has knr fields in it that don't get processed. Is there something I should
know about this (like, there's no provision for processing included files)? :)
Example:
{create_new=db:}{$dbcreate.form}
{:create_new=table:}{$tablecreate.form}
{:create_new=record:}<p>Create Record Form</p>{:create_new}
In the above example, tablecreate.form looks like this:
<form name="create_table">
<p>Table Name: <input type="text" name="txt_new_table_name" size="20"></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="bttn_tablecreate" value="Create Table"></p>
<input type="hidden" name="db" value="{current_db}">
</form>
Notice the {current_db} field in the hidden db input.
Is this a valid way to do things? :)

Well, it would be nice if it worked like this. But all it does is literally
insert the contents of the file, WHEN GENERATING THE OUTPUT.
What you're looking for, is an include of a template in another template.
This would mean that KTS would have to insert the contents of the file
WHILE PARSING THE TEMPLATE. To be honest, I haven't thought of this situation
before. And I can see certain practical problems that would need solving.
I'll see if it can be implemented. From your example, I can see how useful
it really is.

If I understand it correctly, this is the same that I've been asking for
some time ago. 
This feature also would be useful for my Kanarie based Eu preprocessor.
