Tamas Balazs commented on ROL-2050:
-----------------------------------
Glen,
That sounds excellent, I will definitely be happy to see this sort of change as
I need to tinker with templates a lot actually -owing to the reasons of my
sometimes erratic content.
All in all - by modifying the basic template I am actually pretty happy with
the result so far - the templating system works pretty well, despite of my lack
of skills in both Velocity and Roller templating in general...:)
Have a good day!

> Hi,
> I am trying to add multiple "pages" to a weblog. the reason of adding "pages"
> instead of entries is simple - the content of these are not articles but
> dynamically loading JS-like frontend applications. The reasons I cannot add
> them into "entries" are simple - if these pages show up the applications
> start loading in immediately, which would cause a bit of a mayhem with all of
> their music, movies, maps etc. Also I don't want to limit the number of
> entries to be shown just for the sake of these. Unfortunately I cannot make
> these applications to run after user initiated JS input (ie. I cannot create
> "Click here to start" button as the third party app will just not work with
> them).
> Cut the long story short, I would like to add "Pages" to the blog. Currently
> the only way I can do is (as far as I know) is that I add custom templates
> for each individual pages. This is fine(ish) for now as I have only 10-12
> pages, but this number is likely to go up in the future.
> Obviously there is always a workaround to my issue (setting up another blog,
> tailor its presentation layer that meets the third party apps requirements
> and then link the these elements as entries, etc.) but to be honest every
> major blog-management system has this "page" feature and I would be grateful
> to see this coming in the forthcoming release. I guess in layman's terms what
> I would be happy to see is an option under the "Create&Edit" section for
> "Page", which then can create the feature in accordance with its template
> action. Regarding creating their index I don't think the first release of
> this improvement need to go too far on that - if there is a Velocity
> macro/script doing some basic page url/name listings that will be sufficient.
> On the other hand there might be a similar solution somewhere in the Roller
> docs and I have just couldn't find it so far - in this case please let me
> know what I am doing wrong.
> Thanks
