I understand that it would be much easier to edit templates than 10,000 hard-coded pages. That makes sense to me. But what I don't understand is editing all the template files (in Links SQL, for example), when one wants to change a field name, for example. Or could the form be in an <%include form.txt%> file, instead of in each of the .html files?
I guess my main problem is that I don't understand how it works. Not that I don't understand what syntax to use, but how the syntax makes it happen. When I first got DBMan, I didn't know anything about Perl, so I got a book on Perl and followed the progression of the script, line by line. I got a pretty good understanding of both DBMan and Perl by doing this. Is there a book I could get to help me understand about templates?
Would it be better to start another thread?
