The primary mistake was this -
- Code: Select all
<cms:embed 'blog_list.php' />
The code above is syntactically correct and it is embedding a template named 'blog_list.php' that resides within the 'couch/snippets' folder.
When I looked at your site I found that that the 'blog_list.php' was in fact residing in the same folder as the calling 'blog.php'.
This is the reason why you were getting the blank page - there was no 'blog_list.php' within 'snippets' folder to get embedded.
I moved the template to its correct location and the blank page disappeared.
Rest were only minor issues -
1. Changed the following code
- Code: Select all
<?php include("Library/nav.php"); ?>
to
- Code: Select all
<cms:embed 'nav.php' />
and moved the 'nav.php' from the 'Library' folder to the 'couch/snippets' folder.
2. Similarly changed the following line
- Code: Select all
<cms:php> include 'blog_sidebar.html'; </cms:php>
to (as you can guess now)
- Code: Select all
<cms:embed 'blog_sidebar.html' />
and moved the 'blog_sidebar.html' to the 'couch/snippets' folder.
The overall modified 'blog.php' now becomes -
- Code: Select all
<?php require_once( 'couch/cms.php' ); ?>

It seems that you were having some trouble in using the 'embed' tag correctly.
Hope the rectified template will make its usage a bit clearer.
Thanks.
