This is true for now, but we can always change what I did in view.pm and the templates structure. We can move ssi.mdtext from the templates tree to the content tree. In view.pm we can scan for ssi.mdtext from the current folder up to the root. This will allow the available rightnav.mdtext and leftnav.mdtext divs in the page design to be triggered at any level. There will need to be special procedures when ssi.mdtext files are changed. Regards, Dave > > > Regards > -- > Ariel Constenla-Haile > La Plata, Argentina
