If you look closely at the list template, you'll see that the list is produced using a macro called display_line(). That can be found in the macros template and then you'll easily see the calls to the button() macro that create the edit and delete buttons. I find that grep or grep -r is a very useful tool for finding where things happen in templates (and code :) For example 'grep delete *' shows you the occurrence I just described plus the one that adds the button in the view template. > I have read the training wheels guide, but am stuck on a few points. > > Is it better to build templates from scratch, or modify the factory one? Opinions differ! Do whichever you find easiest. > Are there any example of a simple display only template? The view template seems pretty simple. It's worth reading the view chapter of the manual: http://search.cpan.org/~teejay/Maypole-2.10/lib/Maypole/Manual/View.pod That seems to have more information about templates than the template chapter :) And of course there's a whole template toolkit site with more information: http://www.template-toolkit.org/ HTH, Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
