I'm using TT2 and ttree (no custom Perl save a few simple macros) to build a
large static website. I have a config template that I invoke for each
template via the pre_process directive in my ttree.cfg file. I now have
some database code in that file which is relatively expensive to execute,
and the results don't change from template to template. Is there some way
to setup a template which only runs once before all templates are processed?
I've thought about a two-step process involving a meta-template of sorts to
generate the template that has the global data, but it seems like there
should be a better way...
Thanks!
Dustin
