Hi, as your questions have been answered already I just would like to point out that there is another resource that might be helpful. The official community of the Website Management Group (fka. RedDot) can be found under www.solutionexchange.info. And when speaking about RQL (API of the Management Server) you could visit the blog of Markus Giesen (http://www.reddotcmsblog.com/) or my blog (http:// manuelschnitger.wordpress.com). So from my point of view there are a lot of resources .....you just have to find them :-)
Oops, just would like to add some thing to question #2. There are two ways how to implement server side script code in templates: a) using RDExecute That means that you insert your code into the template and it will be executed within the Management Server (SmartEdit & Preview) BUT the published output is also just a script. Sample: <!--RDExecute=ASP--> <% response.write "Hello world" %> will be published as <% response.write "Hello world" %> b) using PreExecute If you wrap your code with PreExecute blockmarks then the code will be executed during the publishing process and the result is an HTML page that just contains the executed code. <ioRangePreExecute> <% response.write "Hello world" %> </ioRangePreExecute> will look like tihs after the page has been published: Hello world Best regards, Manuel On 23 Mrz., 18:37, RomanDesign <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I apologize for some newbie questions, but the amount of information > here is overwhelming and I could not immediately find answers in this > group, which seems to be the best resource I found so far.
