Hi,

You can include a tpl inside another tpl using iw_include as soon below...

iw_include pt='path of tpl' mode='cwd'><br> [parameters if any can be passsed here]<br> Example<br> $iw_param{parametername} =value; <br>
/iw_include>

Thanks lot

Look at iwpt_compile ..........................
[left]Usage:
[/left]

[left]iwpt_compile.ipl -pt

filename

[-ofile

filename

] [-ocode

filename

]

[-oenc

encoding

] [-smartwrite] [

tag-specific flags

]

iwpt_compile.ipl -v | -h

-v

Prints the version number on STDOUT.
[/left]

[left]-h

Prints a help message.
[/left]

[left]-pt

filename

Use the

filename

presentation template.
[/left]

[left]-ofile

filename

Save the output to

filename

instead of STDOUT.
[/left]

[left]-ocode

filename

.ipl

Writes to a stand-alone program named

filename

.ipl

that

generates the output.
[/left]

[left]-oenc

encoding

Specifies output encoding, which is UTF-8 by default.

Specify

-oenc

on the XML declaration line of the

presentation template.
[/left]

[left]-smartwrite

Specifies

-ofile

only overwrites

filename

if it is different.

Tag-specific flags:
[/left]

[left]-iw_pt-dcr

The file names that follow this

iwpt_compile.ipl

flag must

be a valid data record.

iw_pt

reads in the data record and

makes its values available through

iw_value

.
[/left]

[left]-iw_pt-arg

The key, value pairs that follow this flag are used to initialize

the presentation template arguments within the template.

This is useful when debugging a component that normally

gets its

%iw_arg

initialized by the

%iw_param

of its enclosing

template’s

tag.
[/left]

[left]-iw_include-location

Mandatory when the

mode

attribute of the

iw_include

tag is
[/left]

[left]docroot

. The file path is prepended to the file name

provided in the

file

attribute to form a complete file path

(used to virtualize the inclusion).

Before looking for the solution, can you please explain why you need to execute another TPL from inside a TPL.. ??

This is a very common requirement. A perfect example is a single TPL to build navigation menus. iw_include them, then as you cange the menus (even if they are templated) you only change 1 TPL

One word of advice, be careful with the mode variable and the location of you PT. That is a common misstep I have seen.

Hi Andy,
I have a similar case in which I include a tpl not residng in the same /presentation folder as the main tpl.
Here's what I did: (just assume that the generic.tpl is somewhere else, so I need a relative path).

[html].[/html]

This fails and I think this is due to the mode I have. What should be the mode for a relative TPL path?

Thanks,
Anna.

You want ptlocal instead of cwd:

In "ptlocal" mode, relative path names are relative to the
directory in which the current presentation template itself
is located. Absolute paths however, are absolute with
respect to the filesystem of the server.

Thanks a bunch!
That worked.

Regards,
Anna.
