iw_include inside a custom tag.

yanSi

I have a generic.tpl which uses a custom tag (ones located in iw-perl\site\lib\TeamSite\PT).

This custom tag does some processing and emits two standard templating tags back to my generic.tpl:


<iw_include pt='.......xxxx\x.tpl' mode='ptlocal' />
<iw_value name='$say_hello' />

After I preview a DCR against my generic.tpl, I see that the iw_value tag is evaluated but my iw_include tag is not. The output html looks like this:

<iw_include pt='.......xxxx\x.tpl' mode='ptlocal' />
hello

I also tried iw_if and it wasn't evaluated either. Is iw_value the only tag allowed in custom tags?

Quite possibly. Personally I never bothered with custom tags - I just write my PTs in one big iw_perl block - and that way I can utilize [reuse] modules and such.

Perhaps you'd be better off going that route (or try switching to XSLT if you're running 671 or later)
