Thanks all for the help...I'm now doing all my work in the handler and this is working great. I've built a solution for our designers using TT in just a few days that originally took multiple CF people a few months. Talk about advocating! (esp. since there was a push to go with PHP). However, I've run into an issue I need to deal with. I would consider my mod_perl knowledge not too advanced at this stage and I've only just begun using TT, so I apologize in advance for such newbie questions. I've set up apache so that a url like: www.domain.com/client/zzx/cx will have 'client' mapped to Client.pm (<Location /client>) and zzx and cx are pulled in via path info as client and feature parameters respectively. The handler then queries the database using these client/feature parameters and then uses the client/feature ids to get the proper template and build the page with the info gathered from the DB. Now I need to have a page like: www.domain.com/client/zzx/about.html This (about.html) doesn't really need to be a template, but it's ok if it is (that's how I have it set up now). But I'm having to add a lot of logic in my handler so I don't make un-necessary calls to the database (there's no client parameter, and I don't need as much feature info as I did before). Is there a better approach to this, either via TT or Apache? Also, is there a way to use Apache (or TT) so that I can use simple html pages in htdocs for requests ending in .html while sending a .phtml request(or whatever ext.) through TT? /client/zzx/cx/index.phtml uses TT and /client/zzx/index.html is actually a physical page /htdocs/client/zzx/index.html Simply, I need the ability to call static html files and dynamic TT pages under the same top level directory that has been mapped to mod_perl handler as well as different handlers/logic for dynamic pages depending on the path info. TIA and sorry for the long post.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo! Messenger http://im.yahoo.com
