Project Wonder has "ERXWOComponentContent" which is conceptually like
WOComponentContent except that it allows multiple named templates to
be used rather than a single one. It's a LITTLE mind-blowing at
first (in the same way WOComponentContent itself is), but it is one
way to do what you're looking for.

When you invoke Wrappee, it calls Wrapper and hands over its
content (that is, the content enclosed by the Wrappee's custom
Wrapper component) so that Wrapper can render its own content and
insert Wrappee's content in the ONE place on Wrapper that you put
the WOComponentContent.
If you do that, then any page you invoke in which you've embedded
Wrapper will render Wrapper's content wrapped around its own
content. In that way, 20 different Wrappees can each call Wrapper
to have their content wrapped by the headers, footers, etc.
Given that situation, it makes no sense to put more than a single
WOComponentContent element inside Wrapper.
Thanks Jerry. That all makes sense and exactly describes what I am
seeing. Now that I know I can't quite achieve what I want with the
wrapper/wrappee paradigm, what would be a good way to achieve my
goal. Here is a restatement of what I would like to do.
I have a page layout that essentially has two menus. There is a
main nav bar in the header of the page on the left side that
consists of about six buttons. This will show on every page and
makes for a perfect wrapper/wrappee scenario. The trick is that at
the bottom of this header there is another menu that is two levels
and changes based on which section of the site we're in. I'll try
to draw this out in ASCII.
There will always be the header section with the six buttons, and
the section navigation bars. However the section navigation bars
will change based on page content. What would be a good way to
handle this scenario? Part of the problem is that the navigation
bars are table cells and if I pull them out and just stick them in
each page content area the table would need to be redesigned along
with some of the graphics probably.
Thanks,
Kevin
