Hi all,

is it possible to use two (or more) different templates on SAME page ?

e.g.
<?php
$template = "template1";
$cat[] = "cat1";
include 'news/index.php';
?>
<?php
$template = "template2";
$cat[] = "cat2";
include 'news/index.php';
?>

Thanks

Certainly can. Have a look here which shows you what you need to do.

I made a test page using :

<?php
$static = true;
$cat[] = "newsletters2";
include 'news/index.php';
?>

<hr>

<?php
$cat[] = "newsletters1";
include 'news/index.php';
?>

BUT on the test page it shows only the first include (both categories have one posting)

That's odd, I just tested this here and it works fine.

Do you have version 3.4 installed?

No, I use 3.3 version...

Is it NOT possible with 3.3 ?

Multiple includes was added in version 3.3 but it was improved somewhat in 3.4 so I would definitely recommend upgrading to 3.4 or doing a fresh install.

Chris, I cannot upgrade to 3.4 cause my hosting server doesn't support PHP5...

Have to stick to 3.3

And this is a clean installation, I have just set it up today

Is there something else I could do in order for multiple includes to work?
Could I check something?
Any piece of coding perhaps?
A prear?

Unfortunately not. Most of the system was re-written for 3.4 so I don't want to start making changes for an older version.
