Alright Logician, I decided to give this hack a try, since I like the theory behind it and it might prove to be the easiest way to manage a site.

However, I am still a little confused as to its usage (forgive me if the answer was somewhere in this thread - I didn't want to hunt for a needle in a stack of needles). I mean, there are instructions on how to create webtemplates, but no clear instructions on how to actually use it in relation to the site.

Let's say for example that I have an "About Us" page in .SHTML format found in my root directory ... I want to convert it to .PHP using the webtemplates hack. This is the same procedure I want for all my pages in all other folders outside the forums directory.

So do I cut and paste the entire HTML code of the About Us page into the Webtemplate form and save it as "About_Us"? If so, this would give it the path of www.mysite.com/forums/show.php?pg=About_Us", right? So does this mean that all pages created with Webtemplates will have the "/forums/show.php?pg=" path?

Or am I getting this all wrong - is Webtemplates something you use as an include into your pages? I doubt it, of course, but you never know...

Also, I tried the above procedure and called up my page on the browser. It seems that when I put $header and $footer, it calls up the "default" style of the forums .... I have 5 different potential styles on my forums - how do I automatically make it so that whatever style the user has will be reflected in the webtemplates?

Okay, I'm beginning to confuse myself here, lol ... anyway, I installed it fine and there are no problems whatsoever - I just need to know how to actually use it, y'know... Maybe that is why a few people are not willing to click on the install button for it - coz it is unclear to them on how to actually use this hack.

Give me a step-by-step example on how to do this on a sample page. I am sure this hack is being underestimated because its usage is not as clear as day

Thanks in advance!
