 Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 2:03 pm Post subject: The best way to create function |
 |
|
Hello everyone.
I'd like to know what is the best way to define function in Smarty 3.1.29.
For example, i have some html code:
| Code: | <div class="tumbler">
<label>
<input type="checkbox">
<span class="container">
<span class="swipe"></span>
</span>
</label>
</div>
|
And I have to print this tumbler on lots of pages.
Where should I define function 'print_tumbler'?
I think it's not a good idea write html code in smarty plugins. Or not?
Help, please. |

Like this?
| Quote: | function smarty_function_print_tumbler($params) {
return <<<"EOD"
<div class="tumbler">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" value=">
<span class="container">
<span class="swipe"></span>
</span>
</label>
</div>
EOD;
} |

Like that.
Or you can turn it into a modifier, if your intention is to completely translate a text block.
I.e.
| Code: | <?php
/** Smarty base64 encode modifier plugin
*
* @version $Id: modifier.base64.php 95 2014-08-06 11:08:47Z anrdaemon $
*/
if(is_callable('base64_encode'))
{
function smarty_modifier_base64($source, $wrap = 76)
{
$_result = base64_encode($source);
return chunk_split($_result, $wrap);
}
} |

Except the naming. "print_tumbler" - you will get tired of writing it very fast. |

| Just put that HTML in tumbler.tpl and then {include file="tumbler.tpl"} wherever you need it. And you are correct, don't try to manage HTML inside plugins if you don't have to. |

I'm assuming, he want to insert some data into that HTML block.
However, if it is just a block with no variable data in it, then, indeed, | Code: | | {include 'tumbler.tpl' inline} |
is the most optimal solution. |

Is not a problem to include file 100 or maybe 500 times on one page?
And i use variables, but i just simplified code. |

No. Especially not, if you are using {include ... inline} for small static blocks. It will reduce the number of cached pages, and overall speed up your server.

Then, as I said, you would be best off creating template function with parameters. |

It is no more of a problem than using <?php include("..."); ?> hundreds of times in PHP. If you really do have hundreds of calls don't use the inline param, let it include the php file in the compiled template.
If it is completely static content then another option is to feed the template into a variable:
| Code: | | {include file="foo.tpl" assign="my_tpl"} |
Or do that in PHP:
| Code: | | $smarty->assign('my_tpl', $smarty->fetch('foo.tpl')); |
Then use {$my_tpl} everywhere you want it displayed. |

This approach could have issues with caching.
I would not recommend manually calling Smarty::fetch() unless absolutely necessary. |
