Thanks, JayTee. Hope it works out for you. If you run into any issues or have some feature requests, drop in here or PM me.

I fixed it - everything was working properly.

I had a call to write to the variable tucked away in a nested view and forgot to delete it.

When you remove the region from config, are you also removing ALL calls to write to the region?

$this->load->vars() and the Template Class have no direct correlation.

Sorry - I feel like an idiot - it was my fault, not the library

I really like this library, thank you Colin Smile

I'm using it with Matchbox and I think it works really well with modular structure. Of course, I can't use the write_view() method with modules because most of the view files are in some folder like modules/<module_name>/views, but I think it is just as easy to do this:

Code:
$this->template->write('content', $this->load->view('someview', $data, TRUE));

Personally, I added some "\n" to those add_css and add_js methods, just to make the final HTML look a little bit nicer Smile

Hi All,

firstly, Thanks for the nice template library,Colin Smile

Is there any way to replace all config variables with their values without specifying the region?
as example: I need to retrieve image_path value from configs array and use it in my header,content and footer regions. should I copy $this->template->write 3 times?

on another note, maybe we can write a function to automatically parse all config vars with the shape {var} with their corresponding values if found in any region file, on template render as example. that will save us a lot of code, I think.

Thanks in advance.

Note: I'm new to CI, so I'm not sure if this can be done in a different way.

Either use $this->load->vars() or config_item() to get more general variables.

Looks like an interesting class, though I kinda did this in just MY_Controller.php:

Code:
public function template_set($view, $data='', $slice='content')

{

    $this->content[$slice] .= $this->load->view($view, $data, true);

}

/**

 * Show the complete page output, including header/footer and all

 *  Template base is the folder from which to call (set in module __construct())

 */

public function ShowPage()

{

    $this->load->view($this->template_base.'/page', $this->content);

}

Just calling:

Code:
$this->template_set('frontpage_main', $data);

# Then

$this->template_set('navigation', '', 'navigation');

# Bottom of controller

$this->ShowPage();

Then in my template, echo'ing out the slice:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

...

&lt;?php echo $navigation; ?&gt;

...

&lt;?php echo $content; ?&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

But I'll check this out, looks interesting! Thanks!

Is there a bug thread for Template Library?

I have been using it for quite a while with my mac as a server and loaded it up onto my webserver last night. Weird thing is I get a Safari cant open page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection when I call it from 2 of my controllers and not the other 5.

I can delete everything in the controller except $this->template->render(); and it still blows out, I can write to templates its just the render method.... I cant get at the damned php error logs off of the server so I'm in a bit of a bind. Anyone had anything similar, could it be anything to do with the fact the server is a linux box and there is an error only occurs on linux in my code?

thanks in advance

I haven't heard of that issue before, ironlung. Hopefully you can get your hands on the apache error logs soon and see what the issue is. I develop on a Windows box and run my sites on a Linux box and have never had any issues stemming from the Template class.

Quote:I can delete everything in the controller except $this->template->render();

Are individual controller functions not working, or entire controllers altogether? Could be something in the constructor? Something in routes? A naming convention issue?
