I am currently building a database for a client and have a question, before I start screwing things up. I have approximately 250 subjects with each having around 100 subcategories. I am using a different template for each of the categories, (yes, all 25,000 templates)

I am pulling data to the templates using <%include /home/sites/site1/web/cgi-bin/admin/admin/templates/default/local/data/file.txt%> for each one of the templates, and it works fine. The problem I have now, is I am using HomeSite to build multiple templates with the search and replace options, and now have just under 20,000 templates. If I load them into the /admin/templates/default/ directory, it will take for ever for the FTP client to open this directory, if ever.

Question:

Can I use a similar

/home/sites/site1/web/cgi-bin/admin/admin/templates/default/directory1

/home/sites/site1/web/cgi-bin/admin/admin/templates/default/directory2

and so on within the add a category template within LinksSQL to have the actual category template pulled from a separate directory for each of the subjects??

(did any of this make sense??)

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!!

Hi,

Yes, the includes can specify any file on the server. So you can put all your templates in multiple directories.

Cheers,
