I have a common block of DF template HTML which I want to be present in many different output templates. Maintaining this common block of code in every template is too onerous, so is there a way to add an include (read-once) like call in a DF template, to incorporate the common code at runtime?

None of the general HTML include-like directives I found so far searching Google seem to work in the DF template system.

To place the question in context: I have generalised links for sharing to social network sites (now up to 42 different sites!), that wants to appear in any/every template.

TIA.

<!-- INCLUDE module/whatever.html -->

You just need to ensure the whatever template variables are defined so they can be picked up wherever you use the include.

Including templates is common in forums.

The above works fine, and I've been using ever since, thanks. But I now have a user who wants to include the above on each article when > 1 articles are displayed on the page.

When used > 1 time on the page, the above works for just the FIRST article displayed, nothing is included for the following articles.

IOW, the INCLUDE seems to be equivalent to require_once, and I need require. Are there other forms of the above statement?

Is this stuff documented anywhere?

TIA!

<!-- PHP -->
	# This is a hack since the template system includes files using the include_once() function instead
	# of using the include() function.
	global $cpgtpl;
	$cpgtpl->set_filenames(array('pagination' => 'pagination.html'));
	$cpgtpl->display('pagination', false);
<!-- ENDPHP -->

Thanks!

Klunky - but it works!

Would seem so easy to fix once and for all though - just change the default ...

Thanks again!
