    Say I have a ‘special product’ and ‘login’ node, which are just two small areas on a website that I want visible only on certain pages. Is it pretty easy to setup a template, then go into each published page using that template and turn a node on/off on a page by page basis? Or do I have to setup two different templates… one with the node, and one without? I saw see on the features list that you can nest templates infinitely, but can I control content areas conditionally, and if so… how?

    Does that question make sense? I’ve been using CodeIgniter a big recently and love it, and I have a project that I could potentially use EE for, but I’m just trying to get a feel for how modular it is out of the box.

    You can do a lot of conditionals - what would you want to test for, though?  A real world example might help here. =)

    I don’t have a real example yet to be honest. I guess I should probably just give the free version a whirl 😊

    Probably - but do you have an idea in your mind of when you would want that information hidden, and when you’d want it shown?  Digging in may be your best bet but if you can give us more details, we may be able to help more. 😉
