Phil's template library
  • HuzziHuzzi
    I really like Phil's template library he created for codeigniter (link) Just wondering if someone can port this over to fuelphp? I would love to do it but my knowledge on php namespace is limited.
  • daGrevisdaGrevis
    As much as I know... Phil is our Phil Sturgeon (one of Fuel's main developers)! He could port it to Fuel by himself! =]
  • HuzziHuzzi
    I'm aware of that and i'm sure he's got plenty of other things to worry about like the core fuelphp etc.

    Fuel already contains a template class in the core. http://fuelphp.com/docs/general/controllers/template.html Were you looking for some specific functionality?

    To have a seperate themes for the frontend and admin. This is the structure using Phil's library: ---themes
    default // theme 1
    css
    img
    js
    admin // theme 2
    css
    img
    js Not sure if the template class allows you to do that? Thanks.

    No, it doesn't. I'm working on a theme engine at the moment, but first some issues regarding the autoloading of files need to be fixed. Currently you can't set a searchpath for a single load request, paths are global. Which makes it impossible to switch themes. And I prefer to have themes behave more like modules. Which means you do not only include the view (templates, chrome, etc) but also code (controllers, viewmodels, etc) which allows for more dynamic themes, theme installers, widgets with theme options, etc...

    No. All focus is on a stable RC at the moment.
    And it's unlikely (but haven't discussed it) that it will be part of the core. It will probably be a package.
    Hopefully any news here?

    You guys are great... thank you so much. Thank you :)

    A new theme class was introduced in v1.1. It does templating, it doesn't do partials yet. I'm working on that right now, but there is some debate on whether or not this should be part of the core.

    Hi WanWizard, is the theme engine likely to be in rc1 release? Thanks

    For now you can just create your own basic themeing by creating a Controller_Front extends \Controller_Template and modify some of the behavior. Set a theme variable in the before by pulling from the DB, session, whatever then use it to load views. fuel/app/views/<theme>/foo.php Pass the $theme var as a static property of the controller:
    $this->response->body = View::factory(static::$theme.'/foo.php');

    Basic, but it 'll work.

    Thanks Phil.
