Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2021 6:15 pm Post subject: how to {extends} file into extended file? |
|
|
I'm a beginner at smarty and having difficulty working out a standard method to include frames and message boxes into my pages.
Here is the code I have and how I want it to function. I've been trying different methods for the last three days and ending nowhere:
index.php
Code: | $smarty->display('mypage.tpl') | ;
mypage.tpl
Code: |
{extends 'main_frame.tpl'}
{block 'title'}This is an example{/block}
{block 'body'}
<p>This page is built with smarty</p>
{extends 'message_box.tpl'}
{block 'body'}
<h1>Smarty is fun</h1>
{/block}
{/block} |
main_frame.tpl
Code: | <html>
<head>
<title>{block 'title'}{/block}{/title}
</head>
<body>{block 'body'}{/block}</body>
</html> |
message_box.tpl
Code: |
<div style='boarder: thin solid #f0f0f0;'>
{block 'body'}{/block}
</div> |
The rendered code should be something like this:
Code: |
<html>
<head>
<title>This is an example{/title}
</head>
<body>
<p>This page is built with smarty</p>
<div style='boarder: thin solid #f0f0f0;'>
<h1>Smarty is fun</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html> |

1. No, you can not randomly disperse {extends} through the template. Only one is allowed, but you may list a chain of templates in PHP code. They will be extend'ing each other in order, effectively resulting in one template, again.
See https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/resources.extends.tpl
2. In extending template, only top-level elements allowed are {extends} {block}'s and comments.
No clear text, nothing else is allowed.
3. Another point is that you confuse formatting and content.
Thus, your solution is:
index.smarty:
Code: | <html>
<head>
<title>{block 'title'}Default title{/block}</title>
</head>
<body>{block 'body'}{block 'content'}No content.{/block}{/block}</body>
</html> |
message_box.smarty:
Code: | {block 'body'}<div style='boarder: thin solid #f0f0f0;'>
{block 'content'}Message without content.{/block}
</div>{/block} |
my_message.smarty:
Code: | {extends 'message_box.smarty'}
{block 'title'}This is an example{/block}
{block 'body'}
<p>This page is built with smarty</p>
{block 'content'}{child}{/block}
{/block} |

AnrDaemon,
Thank you for participating. I understand the work of extends but I was looking for a method to call templete into a template.
My example was very simple. The actual code is more decorative. The message box has title body and footer sections.
Sometime it will be used to only print a message while other times it may contain inputs and buttons
So to expand my example
Message box may looks like
Code: |
<div class=messagebox>
<div class=header>
<h1>{block title} title {/block} </h1>
</div>
<div class=body>
{block body} {/block}
</div>
<div class footer>
{block footer} {/block}
</div>
</div>
|
Basically I want to include template message box to the page at specific position. It will be unreliable to do so with {function}.
Any clue how to approach it? |

So, use {include}, not {extends}. |

If I use include I cannot change the blocks of the included file (I tried) |

Of course.
Again, you can extend only one template.
You can try using "extends:..." as a source of a template you extend (can't test ATM), but again, it will be a single resulting template you extend with your one.
Think again, and use right tools for what you want to achieve. |

That isn't the solution I hopped for.
I wanted a method where I can {include} template and change its {block} |
