One 'secret' is to make sure you add secure=F to the context so that outsiders can view your page:[WriteFile file=SomeFile.html&secure=F] ... you stuff here [/WriteFile]It is true that all the WebDNA inside gets executed first, so it does the right thing -- the final page ends up looking like regular HTML, just as if you had displayed a template which didn't have the [WriteFile] embedded in it.Be careful if you want [cart] tags inside there -- they will get substituted (rendered) with whatever cart value you have at the time, so it would be a good idea to manually hit the RenderPage.tmpl with ?cart=[cart], which causes the cart value to become literally [cart] rather than being turned into a number. If you want other WebDNA to remain in its [xxx] (unrendered) form, just wrap [Raw] around it, likeWelcome! Today is [raw][date][/raw] on our server.This will be rendered as Welcome! Today is [date] on our server. instead of substituting the date at the time of rendering.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
