I mean things like \[[!if ...]] would test against the page name of the page it's included into rather than the name of the sidebar/header/footer page. It's even more powerful if one combines this with field/getfield/ftemplate/report, since one could make "generic" headers and footers that could apply to a whole set of pages. + +Header example: +<pre> +#{{$title}} +\[[!ftemplate id="nice_data_table"]] +</pre> + +Footer example: +<pre> +------------ +\[[!report template="footer_trail" trail="trailpage" here_only=1]] +</pre> + +(Yes, I am already doing something like this on my own site.
