Daniel Guerrier	Wednesday 23 March 2005 7:57:56 pm This may be a dumb question. I am using frames in my interface and I want to know how to call a template in a framset url. <frameset rows="150,*" framespacing="1" border="1"> <frame src="UntitledFrame-15.htm"> <frame src="UntitledFrame-16.htm"> </frameset> If this is my frameset, how do I convert the urls to allow the top and bottom to load different dynamic data and or templates. I understand the code but the file and directory setup is a bit confusing. I like this product, but it seems like you are making it hard to do easy things.

I have worked with other CMSs and eZ publish is such a relief :-) WIth your frameset, you can take the following approach: In settings/<siteaccess>/layout.ini, define a layout for each frame: [topframe] PageLayout=pagelayout_top.tpl [bottomframe] PageLayout=pagelayout_bottom.tpl In the page containing the frameset, you can then use <frame src="{concat('layout/set/topframe/', $node.url_alias)\|ezurl}" /> That will use pagelayout_top.tpl for that frame instead of pagelayout.tpl Cheers, Ben
