These look really cool but no time to try them out now. Look forward to it though and thanks.

Has anyone used this, or seen/have examples of its usage?

I'm researching some ways to use two boxes on my template (using the h_free_software template) and want to find out how I can have one template, but double the use of those two boxes (divs) by having them display different content depending on which document is loaded in the browser.

Not chunks...but content accessible to the client via the tree in the Eto manager.

I think that is what getsideBar is for... There's an updated version towards the end of the thread and links to Ralph's site where it is explained in detail with demos. It can dynamically pull in relevant content from existing pages based on the current page's alias (amongst many other things).

Thanks, Cris

I'll have a look at that one
