This is terrific?

I just discovered that it’s impossible to make a dynamic schema with the new “Module into Module” schema. In fact, each page is built statically, no matter if there’re dynamic code included among the templates.

I love to do examples to make better understand what I say:

Let’s say there’re 1 entries and 1 comment.

Previous MT versions: “Main Index” includes “Recententries” “Indidivual Entry” includes “Recententries” Recententries is is a snippet-code in MT language, rebuilt each time and outputting to “Recententries.shtml”.

One entry more is published, and 1 comment done. Result: dynamic code is executed. “Main Index” shows now 2 entries, 2 comments. As all entries that show 2 entries, 2 comments

MT 4.x: “Template” includes “other-Template” that includes “Recent_entries”

Result: dynamic code is NOT executed. “Main Index” shows 2 entries, 1 comments. All entries show 1 entries, 1 comments.

In other words, only the page interested by a rebuild show the changes. All other pages remains unchanged because they not include the Recent_entries.shtml file.

The only way with the new MT having own website updated, is to rebuild whole website each time! (In my blog, it means wait 1 hour each time I post an entry. )

This is amazing. Not, it’s terrific. I hope I’m missing something!

You are missing something. I explained this in the previous post you did about this issue, and how to get around it. I explained how to do this with PHP, and why using will not meet your needs if what you said is true about it not generating the proper SHTML or PHP include statements.

No, the fact is that I cannot explain properly what happen, and you don't understand, in my sensation. The shtml file do CONTAINS the 2 entries and the 2 comments correctly! Instead, the index, the entries, etc etc, are built statically: they keep on reporting 1 entries and 1 comment until I rebuild them!

I apologize. Now I will graphical a little UML diagram to render what I want to say... :)

The only reason why they would report that is if they aren't properly loading your SHTML file, such as would likely be the case if is not generating the right statements for loading the SHTML file.
