Hi Albert,
Thanks for the feedback :)

You're right when saying that it's not optimal to use datahandler:DB 
with all rdt's readonly to display a record.

I also agree that the best way would be to improve the data layer, 
adding the ability to bind a box to a datasource, to create a local 
"data-context" if you see what I mean.

We thought about this already, but nothing came out for the moment.

something like:

<renderlet:BOX name="my-page-box">
	<datasource use="page" />
	<childs>
		<renderlet:TEXT name="title" />
		<renderlet:DATE name="crdate/>
		<!-- ... -->
	</childs>
</renderlet:BOX>



For the moment, there's another way to achieve this, if you're using a 
renderer:TEMPLATE; 2 steps:

1 - manually fetch the row from the DB and pass it to the renderer:TEMPLATE
2 - Use the template syntax to access data and display it in the html

I put an example here:

Best regards,
