Static vs Dynamic Templates
Before I start running through all the templates, is there a list anywhere of which templates are just static and which are just dynamic. For example, I know category.html is a static template that I believe is only used to build the pages and something like add.html appears to be used by add.cgi and would thus be dynamic. The reason I ask is that I'm setting up a SSI call for banners and it doesn't work on dynamic templates naturally. Before I charged through I was just wondering if there was a list somewhere already. Also, are any of the templates used in both ways?

If you use the WebAdverts Mod in the Resource Center, you can use the Banner program with the <%banner%> tag on all template files.

The add*.* email*.* modify*.* search*.* are all dynamic. Any templates called by any scripts in the "public" script directory are dynamic.

If you are using user logons, the various templates used by those scripts are also dynamic -- logon*.* maintain*.* validate*.* signup*.* etc.

But if you use page.cgi, they _all_ are dynamic.

If you use the review scripts for ratings, then they too are dynamic.
