That could be. Stuff in apaches config files works from the moment you
set it,
so if you set the Midgard directives late in the config file (possibly
via an include) the earlier stuff isn't affected by it.

:) Not really.
Filetemplates is a limited version of Midgards capabilities, with the
content
in files, not the database. It's easier to edit and share, but you're
missing
some stuff. The ".mgd" files you mentioned earlier are the extension I
used
for FTs in my examples, so that's how I figured.
Filetemplates will only be recognized by midgard when the virtualhost
that serves
them has a matching host record in the midgard database, without a
prefix.

In the host table. You set it using the admin site, or by hand with
direct access
to the database. The admin site is a friendlier interface though.

Not at all, it's simply one of the ways to use FTs. In connected mode
(when a matching,
non-prefixed host record is found), mod_midgard will set up a database
connection for
you and you will be able to access the midgard database through that
connection just
like you would with a regular Midgard app. The admin site in
filetemplates is not
going to be very useful unless you are connected.
If no matching host record is found, you are in disconnected mode (all
the same stuff,
but without a connection to the midgard database). So you can use styles
and elements,
and the &(...); formatting code but not the mgd_.... calls.
Disconnected mode works without mod_midgard even being present.

FTs have been dormant for a great while. They're mostly finished but
mostly untested;
I plan to give them more attention after the xmas release.
