I am trying to have my artist bio in a separate page, so that the artist can write his whole life story if he wishes. Only i can't get it to work. Help will be appreciated.

I got the link in the artist page, and a .tpl with {BAND_STORY} inside, but it gives an error. I cannot find a way to tell it where to get the Band id for the band story,ie which band to make the bio for. I assume its something i have to pass,maybe in the menu.tpl or within the tpl,i can't figure it out.

you probably will need to provide the code that your using or a link for someone to see and help you better..
umm..you may not need to use the .tpl at the end at wherever your using the code

i didnt provide what i had because i am sure its wrong. But this is what i have so far, i added the artist_bio.tpl to index.php in the theme.cfg.

menu.tpl

{if strlen($BAND_STORY) > 0}
<li><a href="{$JAMROOM_URL}/index.php&template=index_artist_bio.tpl">Artist Bio</a></li>
{/if}


artist_bio.tpl

<!-- MAIN CONTENT -->
<div class="row">
<div class="span8">

<!-- Begin Artist Bio -->
<h4>{$BAND_NAME} - Bio</h4>

<p>{$BAND_STORY|jr_strip_html}</p>
</div><!--end span-->
</div>

.....i added the artist_bio.tpl ......

SoundCafe:

......p&template=index_artist_bio.tpl">Art.....

your link is pointing to the wrong location.

If you added artist_bio.tpl to the skin then its going to show up as :
index.php?t=artist_bio

Check out the sage demo and the way it does it if your trying to add it to a profile:
