[opencms-dev] newbie template question

[Claus Priisholm]

Just have your template include a banner and a footer file along with 
the body of the page. Typically it is sufficient to make these includes 
plain files (as they only have to be edited occasionally when a phone 
number or likewise changes, and wysiwyg is not that important).
You could make a special template for the banner and treat it as a page 
in OpenCms, and then include that. But in 5.0.1 there are issues when 
including multiple pages rather than just one page and multiple plain 
files, check the list archive for something along the lines of 'include 
hack'.

An alternative is to use multi-bodies. This enables that besides the 
default body, a page also could include a footer-section and so forth 
which you then can edit from the wysiwyg-editor (you switch between the 
section with a pop-up which is hidden until this feature is enabled). 
Look at the mail archive, you may have to look in the 2003 archive - I 
think there were postings related to this function back then.
