Hi Kevin, I going to bet that your full event-handlers block looks something like this
<event-handlers defaultType="templatedPage"> <event-handler name="page.index" type="templatedPage2"> <results> <result do="template.main" /> </results> <views> <include name="body" template="pages/index.cfm" /> </views> </event-handler> <event-handler access="private" name="template.main"> <views> <include name="main" template="templates/main.cfm" /> </views> </event-handler> </event-handlers> The problem here is that you have template.main in the same block and its getting a default event of templatedPage applied to it. If you follow the logic through its clear why this won't work.. before page.index - include footer2 page.index results in template.main before template.main include footer1 To prove this, if you add append="true" to the event-type includes you'll see something like "This is footer 2 This is footer 1" in your output The solution is to move template.main to a second event-handlers block with no defaultType <event-handlers defaultType="templatedPage"> <event-handler name="page.index" type="templatedPage2"> <broadcasts /> <results> <result do="template.main" /> </results> <views> <include name="body" template="pages/index.cfm" /> </views> </event-handler> </event-handlers> <event-handlers> <event-handler access="private" name="template.main"> <views> <include name="main" template="templates/main.cfm" /> </views> </event-handler> </event-handlers> It may also be worth making your layout event part of the event type <event-type name="templatedPage"> <after> <views> <include template="pages/footer1.cfm" name="footer" /> </views> <results> <result do="template.main" /> </results> </after> </event-type> This is a sneaky little gotcha, that if i had a blog would most certainly be worth a post.. maybe i'll get round to that one day!
