Forums / Setup & design / embedding HTML produced by a template inside an XML block

Hello,
I think this may be easy to do, but I still can't figure out how to do it:
I want to have a frontpage that uses an XML-Text block in the middle column, and there, I'd like to produce the same HTML output that I would see when I request /user/register
can this be done with a embed tag using a href="ezobject://xxx" ? I don't either know what number I would have to put in for xxx, nor if this is even the way to do it...
I was also looking into building a special template operator which uses {include uri='design:user/register.tpl'} but that started looking too weird for such a simple task. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice!

which version of ez are you using?
depending on your exact question, I may have the same issue as well

Hi Brian,
I'm using 3.9.2 together with ezwebin 1.2 - I've more or less given up on this one: The closest I could get was to build a template function that itself called the template through include uri=design:user/register.tpl, the template did show up, but incorrectly, as all variables from the user module context were missing. I think it really has to be called from within the user module. Maybe one solution to embed that very url would be using frames, but I don't like that solution. So for now, I have no solution.

Hi Pascal，
I don't think you can use 'href="ezobject://xxx"' to embed the XML-Text block which is an <b>*Attribute*</b>!Why not use 'fetch', fetch the single Node(perhaps yours is node_id=2) and get the attribute content in /user/register.tpl?

I think the only solution which comes to mind has already been mentioned ... kinda.
I would think you could create a custom tag which you could insert into a content object ezxmlblock attributes contents. The custom tag could be as simple as a small iframe which includes /user/register within your page.
While one may not prefer this solution. I think it could meet your most basic needs without further modifications to the system.
