Nested Repeat Regions

[hello10]

I am using the MX Looper for my Nested Repeated Region, which works well but,
where I have data in the child table, the master table is show multpl times
depending on how meny recorlds are in the child table. eg

Name 1 Surname 1
Name 2 Surname 2
Name 3 Surname 3
Name 1 Surname 1
Name 2 Surname 2
Name 3 Surname 3
Name 4 Surname 4
Name 5 Surname 5

ANY Ideas?!

Four your outer loop have you tried using "Select Distinct" in you sql
statement. Doing this will bring each individual name up only once, ie
Smith, then you can sub loop through all the records that contain the name
Smith.

I've got a problem with nested templates in my site. I don't think it's an
error or bug as such, just a really strange limitation, that I hope there is a
work around for.

I've setup a menubar with a repeating table region in a template. Then I laid
out the content (editable) regions in a nested template. The system works
really well in dreamweaver, if you want to add a menu item, you do so to the
parent template, and then it filters through out the site.

The problem is that when I try to edit the pages as a client with contribute
(even as an administrator) it will not allow access to edit a .dwt file, even
if it has editable regions in it. This means I can't use contribute to add an
item to the menubar, because I need to be able to edit the nested template. I'm
sure it's possible, because a .dwt is just an .htm file with a different hat on.

There must be some way of doing this. As soon as I read about the template
system I immediately thought this would be one of it's strengths, and would be
very surprised if the contribute user were limited to making changes on every
individual page.

PS. I'm sure someone will suggest that I just move the repeating region into
the nested template. I could do this, but the whole point is that with one
change I want it to will filter down through the whole site. I thought maybe
SSI might be the answer, but would that just confuse contribute even more?

It seems to me the whole point of using Contribute is to keep users from
changing basic site configurations such as the menu. Use Dreamweaver or
one of the simple HTML editors around.

:disgust; Thanks... that doesn't really help and is actually wrong, because you
can change menus and links, otherwise you wouldn't be able to add pages.

The issue here is more that I presumed you can add pages in contribute in such
a way that if you add a new submenu item, you don't need to add that
individually on every page the submenu occurs.
