Custom scaffold view extension
  • AdamWAdamW
    Hi gentlemen

    I made a custom scaffold in a subdir, i personnalize views with twig, (eg : php oil generate scaffold/custom monkey something:text) but there still is something left : i want my views to have twig extension (logical)

    I spotted the line, it's this little guy in packages/oil/class/generate/generate.php l.521

    // Create this view
    static::create($view_dir.$action.'.php', $view, 'view');

    Hard-coded, so...

    Question : What is the cleanest way to set the extension customizable, without modify this file, in case of updates or something 

    Thanks.

    Not very easy, Oil was never made to be extendible.

    With a bit of hack work it can be done though.

    First, copy generate.php to fuel/app/classes/oil/generate.php.

    Then open the oil front loader (the oil script in your fuel installation root), find Package::load('oil'), and after that, add

    Autoloader::add_classes(array(
        'Oil\\Generate'    => APPPATH.'classes/oil/generate.php',
    ));

    Now you have mapped to Oil\Generate class to your copy in fuel/app, instead of the one in the oil package. Now change whatever needs changing in your copy.

    p.s. it would probably be better if oil generate had a commandline switch to define the template type used, instead of the hardcoded php extension.

    Perhaps address that, and send a pull request?

    I dont think i'm familiar enough with the oil package to make it properly, but maybe if i have some time later i'll do it. Thanks.
