TemplateFile::halt() method

This method can be called by any template file to stop further render inclusions

This is preferable to doing an exit; or die() from your template file(s), as it only halts the rendering of output and doesn't halt the rest of ProcessWire.

Can be called from prepend/append files as well.

USAGE from template file is: return $this->halt();

Usage

// basic usage
$templateFile->halt();

// usage with all arguments
$templateFile->halt($halt = true);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
halt (optional)bool, string

If given boolean, it will set the halt status. If given string, it will be output (3.0.239+)

Return value

$this

Object instance it was called from (method supports fluent interface).

“We chose ProcessWire because of its excellent architecture, modular extensibility and the internal API. The CMS offers the necessary flexibility and performance for such a complex website like superbude.de. ProcessWire offers options that are only available for larger systems, such as Drupal, and allows a much slimmer development process.” —xport communication GmbH
