Hi,in a pagelayout template of the demo site, i found this line:
{include uri="design:page_head.tpl" enable_glossary=false() enable_help=false()}
Allthought they are "off", i'd like to know, what enable_glossary and enable_help will do. Some kind of online-help and -glossary (I saw some discussion about ezAcronym...).Can someone (ez?) give us a hint... an undocumented/not finished feature?

I'm working on a glossary operator for templates, so when I saw the incude line I had to investigate it. If you track that call, it'll go to link.tpl and that's where the answer is as well.
enable_glossary refers to the SDK tab (as you can see on sdk.ez.no) and enable_help refers to the Manual pages. Or was it the other way around? :) Both default to off in standard installs.

Allright, thanks, but I still don't understand the purpose of the "enables".Will this enable an (existing) operator or so?
BTW: Thanks for your glossary operator. I can't use it yet, but it sound very good for ez3. I'd need something like that for ez2 ;)

If these variables are set to true() they the link.tpl template will add some <link rel="" href=""> tags to the header.The <link> tags are hints which the web browser can use, for instance Opera 7 uses this to create a top bar with Home, Index, Search, Glossary etc. Lynx will also use these tags and display them at the top.
For instance try Opera 7 or Lynx on ez.no. (You might have to enable it in Opera 7, View/Navigation Bar/Auto should do it)
If you enable glossary and help, the sdk and manual will be added.
