Author user control as template file
Nikolaj

2004-11-04, 5:48 pm

I have noticed that I can choose a *.ascx file instead of an *.aspx file when
choosing a template file for my mcms template. What does this imply?

My hope is that this enables me to do something that I havn't been able to.
Namely to have more than one posting displayed on a page (without using
frames). So far I have the impression that posting = page in mcms, which
annoys me a bit. Have I missed some basic concept?

Hi Nikolaj,

posting = page is correct.
To display content from different postings on one page you could use this
server control:

Cheers,

Thanks for your answer.

So why can I associate a template with a template file which is a user
control? Trying to create a posting based on this "user control template"
gives an error in the browser.

Hi Nikolaj,

actually it does not make sense to do this.
Maybe a GUI bug.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Nikola,

I think it is a bug in template explorer.
