[reportlab-users] multiple frames on one page

[Arkadi Colson]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with frames and pagetemplates. As you can see in 
the code below I would like to have 2 frames on the first page but only 
one frame(the first one:Fcover) is showing. Because the complete file is 
quite big I only included parts of the code. I hope this is ok for 
trying to locate the problem.


Thanks in advance.

doc        = ssDocTemplate(outputfile)

frame1    = 
Frame(85*mm,30*mm,125*mm,55*mm,leftPadding=0*mm,rightPadding=0*mm,topPadding=0*mm,bottomPadding=0*mm,id='Fcover',showBoundary=0)
frame2    = 
Frame(10*mm,20*mm,100*mm,50*mm,leftPadding=0*mm,rightPadding=0*mm,topPadding=0*mm,bottomPadding=0*mm,id='Fcover2',showBoundary=0)

doc.addPageTemplates( PageTemplate(
    id            = 'cover',
    frames      = [frame1,frame2],
    pagesize    = (210*mm, 297*mm),
    onPage        = self.FirstPage
) )

story.append( NextPageTemplate('cover') )

    def multiBuild(self, story, canvasMaker=Canvas,
