• The current list of page types on servers in the Free-Conversant hosting network include (note: other installations of Conversant will have additional page types, contact Macrobyte Resources for details):
  
  
  • Advanced Query Page
  • Bound Message
  • DG Calendar Page
  • Event Calendar
  • FullThread Page
  • MailForm Page
  • Query Page
  • Redirect Page
  • Topics Page
  • Weblog II
  • Weblog
  • WeblogView
  • Weblog II
  • WebOutline
    
    
  • signup
  • logon
  • logoff
  • Message (This one's used for all message viewing/creating/replying/editing pages.)
  
  
  
• This conditional macro could be useful for consolidating your page templates, because it allows you to put all of your pagetype-specific features into a single template, and hide them from any page that they don't belong to. See the example.
  
  

Examples

This example would use line 1 on a weblog, line 2 on an Bound Message (a 'traditional web page'), and line 3 on any Message page (any viewing of a discussion group message).

<!--#if condition="requestPageType=='Weblog'"-->

1. The text and macros listed here will only be used on a weblog page.

<!--#elseif condition="requestPageType=='Bound Message'"-->

2. Anything here is used only on Bound Message pages (that is, discussion group messages which have been published to traditional URL's)

<!--#elseif condition="requestPageType=='Message'"-->

3. Anything on this line would be seen on the message viewing/replying/editing pages.

<!--#endIf-->
