one template, two elem. types

Hi,
I'd like to use same template on a fixed URI story
and a slug-ish URI story.
Is there a way?

Regards, Zdravko.

You could use a utility template, and just pass it the story you want it
to render:

$m->comp('/util/double_use_template.mc', the_story => $story);

Hope this helps,

Bret

You can also just have the one template inherit from the other:

<%flags>
inherit => '/other_template.mc'
</%flags>

Best,

Hm. I just tried this without success.

I put the <%flags> block in template B, pointing to template A. But
previewing a story containing a type B subelement now shows no output
for that subelement. Element types A and B have the same structure.

Any ideas what I might be missing? (It's not urgent, I'm just curious.)

Cheers,

Bret

I ran into this the other day; IIRC, it happened to me because I
inherited from a template that did not itself inherit from /
autohandler, so the autohandler was never called. Or something like
that.

No, wait, the stuff from the autohandler was there, just not the stuff
from the story element template. Hrmm…ah, yes, the autohandler was
calling display_element() on a different element. IOW, I had
foo_page.mc inherit from page.mc, but the autohandler was calling
display_element() only for page elements, not for foo_page.mc
elements. So be sure that your handlers are still calling out to the
template that's inheriting to some other template.

HTH,

Daivd
