Is there anyway for the panels to loaded in from another php template? I have tried the inclde command but it did not work.

[] I have worked out how to do it with the load function of jquery (which is use for the sliding panels anyway).

I created to external php templates that pulled in data from a database test1 and test2. Origiinal I thought.

In the page with the sliding panels you need to put uniquely identified divs within each panel. eg <div id="panel1">

Within the head of the page (where the javascript is) you simply add a function to load them in:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#panel1').load('test1.php');
$('#panel2').load('test2.php');
});
</script>

and it works fine. The main (calling) page does not need to be a php page and of course other types of pages can be called.

The load features has a useful feature which allows just a particular div to be loaded.

Look at

api.jquery.com/load/


Hope this is helpful.

Another work around. In my database of pages I have a page Gallery and I wanted the system to load in the external page of gallery. In the area normally reserved for text I simply place in a div of the class gallery and then using the method above told it to pull in a page called gallery.php

This page reads images from a db and then makes thumbnails using the much lamented and ridiculously no longer supported ADDT.

All worked fine.

I then though "What if I want to use enlargeit to popup the photos?" So on the gallery page I put all the appropriate code to see what happened.

It worked. Although the call to the javascripts is on a pull in page everything works fine.

Useful indeed!
