Hi,
I'm evaluating CodeCharge Studio and am very impressed so far. But I've hit what seems to be a brick wall to me when I tried to implement a header for my pages.
The header include page I'm trying to implement is supposed to either:
a) show the currently logged user if one has already logged in OR
b) display the username and password input fields so that you can login
The problem is that templates (I'm using ASP3.0 with Templates, btw) don't seem to work in included pages: my OnBeforeShow handler code cannot seem to access the template blocks,
Tpl.Blocks
and
Header.TemplateBlock.Block("LoginView")
both fail (i.e. they do not return valid objects).
Is there a way around this?
Thanks for your help,

Follow-up:
I switched to PHP4 (server is actually running PHP5) and it works.
This leads me to think it ought to be possible with ASP too. What did I do wrong?

Yes. First, steer clear of directly massaging the Template object. It's
not needed and can be cumbersome to mess with.
In the header, you should have two things: a Label control and a Login
form. Now, add Before Show events to both of them.
For the Label the event code is:
Label1.Visible = Not isEmpty(CCGetUserID())
For the Login form, the event code is:
Login.Visible = isEmpty(CCGetUserID())
Sometimes "Empty" gives me headaches, and I end up modifying expressions to
look like this:
Label1.Visible = (CCGetUserID() <> "")
But anyway, this is all that's needed, not messy template manipulation.

Thanks Don,
for your help. Clearly CCS-generated objects make less trouble, yet
there are cases (I'm a little further along) where I want to dynamically
hide or show parts of my page. I'll continue looking.
