[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-1580) Integrating the generated JSF pages better into a entire web application

Antonio Goncalves updated FORGE-1580:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
I often use Forge to create separate administration pages that will fit an entire web application (a bit like in TicketMonster). The problem is that all JSF pages use {{pageTemplate.xhtml}} and this template declares a header, footer and navigation menu. So the other pages of the web site cannot use this template.

Forge could either : 

* use 2 level of templates : the {{pageTemplate.xhtml}} only does the header and footer, and we had a new {{forgeTemplate.xhtml}} that uses {{pageTemplate.xhtml}} and adds a navigation menu
* we only use {{pageTemplate.xhtml}} but the template actually includes a {{header.xhtml}}, {{footer.xhtml}} and {{navigation.xhtml}} page (with the {{<ui:include>}} tag)
