 Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2004 10:24 am Post subject: Blocks (captures), fetch and templating scenario |
 |
|
Hello.
In my previous projects I was using other, simple template engine. Because of it I used to following site templating scenario:
one template file for main site design, like
main.tpl
| Code: |
<html>
<body>
header
my site<br />
{$contents}
footer
</body>
</html>
|
and for processing site contents to $contents variable from blocks (in smarty-captures) in other one template file(containing all blocks, I need). example:
blocks.tpl
| Code: |
{capture name="block_results"}
<table>
<th> {$usefull_list} </th>
... (results)
</table>
{/capture}
{capture name="usefull_list"}
<select>
{foreach item=$my_list}
<option value={$my_list.value}>{$my_list.name}</option>
{/foreach}
</select>
{/capture}
|
Like you see, I am using one block in another, ant to display $usefull_list in $result capture, i need to process it somehow. Wrote code somthing like this:
index.php
| Code: |
...
$smarty->assign('my_list', $array);
$smarty->fetch('blocks.tpl');
$smarty->assign('usefull_list', $smarty->_capture_vars['usefull_list']);
$smarty->assign('contents', $smarty->_capture_vars['block_results']);
$smarty->display('main.tpl');
|
The problem is, that i will not see correct $block_results with $usefull_list inside it. To have $usefull list inside, I must assign $usefull_list to smarty variable, then $block_results to variable, and reprocess smarty variable containing $block_results(to put $usefull_list into it). Now I know only one way to process variable - with $smarty->fetch method. But it processes only template file, not a variable.
Q1: how reprocess (re-fetch) a variable?.
Q2: Is there more convenient way to use blocks from separate file, not with $smarty->_capture_vars[]?
Don't want to fetch whole template file to make some changes in one block.. Don't want to have separate file for each block. So, any solution (if not tired to read :) |

first: since Smarty-2.6.0 you can use "{capture assign=var_name} ..." to assign the captured-contents directly to a variable.
second: you make things overly complicated by the fact that you don't want to have a template for each block. you are most flexible if you use a single template-file for each block. |
