I created a layout plugin using the instructions in the live Web2py book (http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/05#Page-Layout) and noticed that the {{include}} no longer functions as well as login register and other links.
By removing the ((extends }} statement in default/index.html you can get the index.html content but this way seems to require that you create new user forms as well (and perhaps others) as they stop working even though they appear to point to the correct URL. Does anyone know of a good way to rewrite the include in the plugin_layout_theme/layout.html file that would allow these links to continue working? Thanks, Chris
