 |
|
G'dday,
I'm a new comer to smarty, so I apoligise if this has been asked a million times before. I'm in the middle of evaluating using smarty for a project and was concerned that the templates didn't seem to be very designer friendly. For example, the 'why use smarty' doco has the following template:
| Quote: |
<table>
{section name=art loop=$article}
<tr>
<td>{$article[art].headline}<td>
<td>{$article[art].date}<td>
<td>{$article[art].author}<td>
</tr>
{/section}
</table
|
which looks like this when viewed raw by the designer:
| Quote: |
{section name=art loop=$article}
{/section}
{$article[art].headline} {$article[art].date} {$article[art].author}
|
I'm happy about seeing {$article ...} in the table cells - that way the designer can get a feel for oh yeah, something will go here - but they shouldn't see {section - because that won't be turning up in the end result. I've noticed that you can use <% or whatever you like to enter smarty command mode. This will have the reverse problem - they won't see the <% section ... but they also won't see <% article .. which means they won't get a feel for something will end up here ...
The ideal would be if there was a way of having some dummy text along side the smarty place holder so they can get used to seeing something similier to what will actually turn up when the page is run ..
Just trying to get a feel for what other people are doing in this area ..
cheers!
Andy. |

I think you could do this:
| Quote: |
<table>
<!-- {section name=art loop=$article} -->
<tr>
<td>{$article[art].headline}<td>
<td>{$article[art].date}<td>
<td>{$article[art].author}<td>
</tr>
<!-- {/section} -->
</table
|
The comment tags (<!-- & -->) around the section tags will end up in the HTML output, but this is an option. |

Thanks for the reply mocean!
That sounds like it would work. It'd be be good though to keep to keep things consistent. Is anything like the following possible?
| Quote: |
<table>
<%--section name=art loop=$article--%>
<tr>
<td><%--$article[art].headline}--%>{*Earth women can mate with Martians!*}<td>
<td><%--article[art].date--%>{*20-06-2003*}<td>
<td><%--$article[art].author--%{*Fred Jones*}<td>
</tr>
<%--/section--%>
</table
|
Which should show the following in a wysiwyg editor:
| Quote: |
{*Earth women can mate with Martians!*} {*20-06-2003*} {*Fred Jones*}
|
Can you change smarties entry and exit symbols to <%-- & --%> but still get into a smarty comment with {* ?
Thanks!
Andy. |
