Template library of Colin Williams not working [Solved] - El Forum - 05-03-2010

Hi,
I have recently started using CodeIgnitor for few of my projects. I am using the template library version 1.4.1 from Colin Williams (http://www.williamsconcepts.com/ci/codeigniter/libraries/template/). After following the instruction to place the files in application/config, application/library and application/view, I made the following change in index function of "welcome" controller which comes with the default code ignitor code.
Code:
function index()
{
//$this->load->view('welcome_message');
$this->template->render();
}When I visit the URL http://localhost, this is what I get:
Quote:A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Welcome::$template
Filename: controllers/welcome.php
Line Number: 13
Any hints as to what am I doing wrong.

do you have template.php in your config folder, and does it contain the necessary $template array as specified in http://www.williamsconcepts.com/ci/codeigniter/libraries/template/reference.html?

Yes I have the following line:
Code:
$template['default']['template'] = 'template';I have tried adding a php extension as follows, but it did not work as well.
Code:
$template['default']['template'] = 'template.php';Template library of Colin Williams not working [Solved] - El Forum - 05-04-2010

Looks like Template library is not loaded, try adding this line before using $this->template
Code:
$this->load->library('template');Template library of Colin Williams not working [Solved] - El Forum - 05-05-2010

Yep, works like a charm. I thought any libraries put in applications/libraries folder should be loaded automatically. At-least that's what happening in one of the other projects where a custom php file in application/libraries directory is being auto-loaded.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Most of the time you don't need to use all libraries in a single controller, so I think it's better to load them when you need them. For libraries that you use in most controllers, such as Template, you can auto-load them by editing /application/config/autoload.php
