I've been playing with this and it's a pretty neat thing

. Cheers for putting this info together. I do a quick question I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on, however.

I'm working on being able to being able to display a list of agreements all from one primary page using the do= thing. So I have agreement.php setup like is described in the tutorial and instead of

Code:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('AGREEMENT') . '");');

...at the end of the file, I have instead added something like:

Code:

// Grab template for standard agreement
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'standard')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('agree_standard') . '");');
}

// Or grab template for special agreement
elseif ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'special')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('agree_special') . '");');
}

// Template for main agreement page if no 'do' statement
else
{
	eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('AGREEMENT') . '");');
}

This works fine except the templates for AGREEMENT, agree_standard, and agree_special all basically contain the same code except for the body of the agreement itself. Meaning, it sounds to me like each template contains a lot of redundant code, e.g.

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude

etc.

How do I set it up so the AGREEMENT template contains this primary structure while child templates like agree_standard aren't forced to repeat it within their own structure, and just contain the HTML I need for that page's 'do' statement?
