Hi! I have an issue with UPDATE form. I'm trying to implement something like enrollment form that has man field beyond standard name, email, etc. For the sake of usability I've decided to split it to two steps (i.e. controllers - pages): first asks user for name and email, and after user submi

Thanks Massimo, Your guess is right, only all pages have footer, but let's say 90% of them have the same block_footer, and other 10% have original, unique block_footer, so I don't want to copy-paste content of first page with is_index == True, but at the same time leave a possibility to define

Massimo, thanks again. I'm aware of security risks, the html in db is just legacy static pages, no user input there, ever. I'm just converting static pages to dynamic website with apps. But your suggestion to use replace looks even better! On Monday, July 22, 2013 1:57:20 PM UTC+3, Massimo Di
