Hi Nick,
I'm not sure what version of the client code you are using... there
are distinct template systems in place for the default code vs. the
SF code (HTML::Template and BOTS respectively). Either way the
templates will not be parsed by your httpd because the CGI output is
inherently parsed already and not re-parsed by the server as a .shtml
file might be. I suppose it is possible of course but not likely in
a standard setup AFAIK.
Are you interested in actually expanding the *Template System* or
simply the data you can pass around using the template system. Both
versions (HTML::Template and BOTS) are pretty extensive as-is and
simply need massaging at the SRS code level to enable the
passing/tracking/displaying of additional variables, etc. Just
curious. And willing to help if you want to send me some examples
of what you need to accomplish off-list.
