I need to have some code such as a ratingplugin code at the end of every page/topic of a WEB. Apart from creating a topic with the code and using an INCLUDE in every topic, is there any global way to do this?

Discussion and Answer

Simple solution: Create a WebTopicEditTemplate in your web and add the INCLUDE(s) you need. That way, every time a topic is created it will be based on that template, thus has an INCLUDE.

If you want to hide the INCLUDE you can define a custom view template, activate it in the WebTopicEditTemplate with a VIEW_TEMPLATE topic preferences setting. Details in TWikiTemplates. FYI, the user profile pages use this approach to show the user profile at the top of the page: Custom view template Main.UserViewTemplate, user profile template topic Main.NewUserTemplate.
