(I've just been catching up on a few months of archived aolserver-list
emails, so forgive me for awakening a sleeping thread.)
Folks are welcome to use my simple-templating system which contains
registered ADP tags to do conditional blocks of HTML, and the ability
to loop over lists of ns_sets (fetched from the DB).
Docs and downloads at http://www.oakroad.net/simple-templates/
Examples:
<if "$variable" eq "fred">
This is included if the variable is fred.
</if>
in a .tcl file:
set dbresults [template_query $db "
select rownum, user_id, email
from users
order by email
"]
in associated .html file:
<loop list=dbresults>
<tr>
<td><var rownum></td>
<td><var user_id></td>
<td><var email></td>
</tr>
</loop>
This stuff is my simplified version of the old ACS templating system
written by Karl Goldstein at aD, but should work on (just about) any
aolServer with fancy ADP parsing enabled.
