Template Library Version 1.4.1 - El Forum - 07-28-2010

I figured it out and will share the results here:
1) short tags, as used in Template code examples, were not working with my ci and Apache config (not allowing short tags). I had to set $config['rewrite_short_tags'] = TRUE; in the config.php file.
2) I had ordered these incorrectly and footer was defined in both with the last one understandably overriding the second (the second had an empty footer):
$template[‘default’][‘regions’][‘footer’] = array(
‘content’ => array(‘c 2010 mycompany’)
);
$template['default']['regions'] = ...

Having a wierd problem with this library,
My code:
Code:
$header_data['user'] = $this->ion_auth->get_user();
$scripts = "";
$this->load->model("videos_model");
$data['videos'] = $this->videos_model->get_videos();
$this->template->write('page_title','');
$this->template->write('scripts', $scripts);
$this->template->write_view('header', 'main.header.php', $header_data);
$this->template->write_view('content', 'video_manager.home.php',$data);
$this->template->write_view('footer', 'main.footer.php');
$this->template->render();When i try and loop round $videos within video_manager.home.php, it stops parsing and doesnt output main.header.php ,main.footer.php. As soon as i replace my loop with a simple echo "hello"; it works. Why would looping round my dataset stop all templates from parsing?
Using mamp / php 5.3.2

[quote author="Dave Hunt" date="1278641623"]Great library, but I have one question.
You have an example in the documentation where you only ever use one header and footer for a template, so you configured:
Code:
$template['default']['regions']['header'] = array('content' => array('<h1>CI Rocks!</h1>'));
$template['default']['regions']['footer'] = array('content' => array('<p id="copyright">© Our Company Inc.</p>'));Is there a way to do this, except to grab a view file instead of just putting text in the config file itself?[/quote]
I'll do it like this:
Code:
<?php
class Default_Page_Controller extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->template->write_view("header", "default_header");
$this->template->write_view("footer", "default_footer");
}
}
?>I will then place this in my application's libraries folder and let it be autoloaded using this magic function which I added at the bottom of my application's "config.php" (I forgot where I got this but I just copied it at some thread here in the CI forums):
Code:
/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| Native Auto-load
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Nothing to do with config/autoload.php, this allows PHP autoload to work
| for base controllers and some third-party libraries.
|
*/
function __autoload($class)
{
if(strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0)
{
@include_once( APPPATH . 'libraries/'. $class . EXT );
}
}This way, I now have an always existing library. I can just let it be extended by the controller of whatever page that needs the default header and default footer.
Say for example the index page:
Code:
<?php if(!defined("BASEPATH")) exit("No direct script access allowed");
class Welcome extends Default_Page_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
$this->template->write_view("content", "content_welcome");
$this->template->render();
}
}
?>So there you have it. This approach can also be applied for other uses such as securing pages that require authentication by simply extending something like a Protected_Page_Controller wherein that controller contains some session checking logic.

Hey guys, i was just wondering if it is possible to read the content of a region?
Just because of some idea im having...
Thx

If you want to do it correctly, add this
Code:
function get_region($name)
{
if (isset($this->regions[$name]['content']))
{
return $this->regions[$name]['content'];
}
else
{
show_error('The "'. $name .'" region is undefined.');
}
}But as all class properties are public, you can also access them directly
Code:
echo $this->template->regions[$name]['content'];Template Library Version 1.4.1 - El Forum - 09-27-2010

has any1 tried using this btw for CI2?
i seem to be having some problems trying to make it work.
i've copied the package in their respective folders, configured the template config, all pretty much like how i used to do it in CI 1.7.2. but all i get is an undefined variable $template when i try to call $this->template
well of course I know that it's not meant for use with CI2 yet but I would just like to know if someone already managed to make it work and how?

@cryogenix, I am using it with CI 2.0 with no problems at all. Check your installation again and ask if you need help.
