Re: Use one template for multiple sections
Well it’s an excellent idea if someone has used it, or is it still theory?

Stuart, do you mean if someone has used <div id="<txp:section />">?
I have used it sometimes in <body id="<txp:section />"> (long time ago, in the days of RC1, to achieve a way to style the current section link in the main menu).
Another interesting place to put it is in a “div” surrounding your article layout.
I mean:
<div class="article <txp:section />">
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
more article tags
blablab
</div>
This way, you can give unique styles to your articles, depending on the section it belongs to.

I was just wondering if it had actually been tried and works. If you’ve used it then great! Go to the top of the class! :)

Re: Use one template for multiple sections
for sure stuart … it’s become a habit to throw the section name as an id into the body tag, so you can override styles for specific sections (e.g. contact forms vs navigation pulldowns)
also u can change widths on divs depending on the section … very handy if you have some sections with one column, some with two, some with three, etc : )
