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).
