What do you mean by 'within the template' ? All logic (ie: php code) needs to be done outside the template and call the the template after all the data is fetch.

oh ok, I didn't know that... thanks for the info

ok, so if i do the logic outside of the template, where exactly should I put the queries and how exactly would I use it within the template? is there and article that explains this?
