Multiple Presentation templates

mk2004

Is there a way to direct a preview to a default tpl in a datatype using component tpls?

For e.g. I have in my presentation folder the following tpls.

1.main.tpl
2.feature.tpl
3.investors.tpl

mai.tpl includes feature.tpl and investors.tpl(using iw_include tag)

All the above tpls are registered in the templating.cfg because i want to generate seperate html file using each of the component tpl

For e.g.
feature.tpl generates feature.html using iwgen

Problem:
Now when the user clicks Preview on DCT, the template pops up a window to select the appropriate tp for preview.
How do we suppress this popup and use the main.tpl to generate the preview?

Can the TPL's be programmically determined, rather than manually selected by the user?

If you can figure out which one to use (either by certain values in the form, or if they all needed to be called etc), then you can register only one main "driver" template which then determines which template to include to process the generation.

You could then check if preview was selected (check your PT documentation http://server/iw/help/tst/pt/) and hand control over to an appropriate template to handle that event.
