 Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 9:48 am Post subject: Idea to help all those who store templated pieces in DBs |
 |
|
Hey guys, I don't know if anyone else will think this is a good idea, but it would sure help me out a bunch.
I would do this myself, but I can't make much of smarty's innards, and can't seem to tell where this would best go...
Anyway, without further ado...
What I would like to see, are versions of ->fetch() and ->display() that work from content strings, and not from template files.
Basically, what I do a lot, is store the template in the database (be it emails, or now small page fragments), and I would really love to have a 'less overhead' way of getting those templates processed than having to create junk temporary template files.
Anyone know of a way to do this currently or think this is a decent idea? It would help me out a TON!

| Code: |
function db_get_timestamp($tpl_name, &$tpl_timestamp, &$smarty_obj)
{
// do database call here to populate $tpl_timestamp.
$sql = new SQL;
$sql->query("select tpl_timestamp
from my_table
where tpl_name='$tpl_name'");
if ($sql->num_rows) {
$tpl_timestamp = $sql->record['tpl_timestamp'];
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

You may want to mention somewhere in here... that it expects the 'timestamp' to be un unixtime. I spent a little fun while trying to figure out why my templates were not updating.
