Im not sure how the latest version of contribute is but, in dealing
with templates that are calling includes it can be a pain because
Contribute wants the user to enter the page title. It can cause a
double title to appear if you are say setting the title in a variable
and then contribute sticks it in as well. Just something to keep in
mind when you build DW templates and use them in Contribute. I think
the templates are ok but can be overrated.

Also your number 2 approach will work good with Contribute and prevent the
client from being able to edit the include areas in Contribute (unless they
go to the include file in contribute to make the edit). Again can't think of
a reason to use the DW template if you use includes.

I have successfully used your #2 approach and by using the includes, it will
prevent your client from being able to edit the include areas which I think
is what you want. I personally think this is much better than going the DW
template route. BTW I don't see why you would been the DW template if you
use the includes but that is just me. Hope this info helps in your decesion
making.

Did my questions not make sense to anyone or was everyone just feeling sorry
for me sending messages out on Saturday night?
If this is confusing, please let me know.

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Best Practice for Assembling Pages
I am building a simple information-oriented site. Each page will have the
same header, footer, right-hand column and a content area. Ideally, I'd like
my customer to be able to edit the content area, but nothing else.
I'd like to ask all of you about the best practice for assembling the page.
Here are the ways I'm thinking about:
1. Use a Dreamweaver template and/or Dreamweaver library. I've done this
before, so I know it works.
2. Use Dreamweaver templates as in #1, but <cfinclude> the header, footer,
etc.
3. Use onRequestStart in Application.cfc to <cfinclude> the header, footer,
etc.
4. Some other more CF-oriented approach, but hopefully not FuseBox
I like method #1 or #2, because then I can use Contribute and allow my
customer to edit certain content.
Right now, the site will only use the most minimal CF for a Contact Form,
etc. Still, I want to get this right from the start.
Thanks for any ideas!
Clarke
