Subject: Re: [Templates] Question with regard to "append" to a form with TT

Hi
I am guessing you are assembling a string from repeated calls to process one or more templates, cherry-picking sections from each?

Maybe something like this:

( note that $page is passed in by reference )

#=========================================
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Template;

my $template = <<'END';
[% IF set_first_part  %]
first_part_of_form
[% ELSIF set_second_part %]
second_part_of_form
[% END %]
END

my $tt = Template->new();
my $page;
$tt->process( \$template, { set_first_part  => 1,}, \$page ) or print $tt->error, "\n"; $page .= "\n--- half way ---\n"; $tt->process( \$template, { set_second_part => 1,}, \$page ) or print $tt->error, "\n"; print $page; #=========================================

yields:

first_part_of_form


--- half way ---

second_part_of_form


#==========


If not, then maybe some more info would help..

Regards,

David
