What the crap does TEMPLATE mean in SPS2003?
So I created a new template and made two pages that use that template. Customized each page. That's fine. That works. But for some reason the SPSWC:CategoryNavigationWebPart shows the same subareas for each page. The SPSWC:BreadCrumbTrail part is just fine.
I'm having trouble figuring out what information is replicated or shared between instances of a template. I KNOW that there has to be a way to make one or two templates and have the majority of the site use those templates. I KNOW it. Why else would they be called “TEMPLATES”? But until I figure everything out, I guess I will just have to strap the boxes of glass back on my feet and continue making painful babysteps.
