TemplateFile

[Adam Kiss]

I was looking to replace one of my custom classes in http://processwire.com/talk/topic/1589-render-%E2%80%93-views-for-processwire/?hl=helperrender'>Render:: with TemplateFile, since it's core.

What I need is a thing that takes variables and feeds them to the PHP file. But I was looking at the TemplateFile and I've seen no apparent way to feed it custom data? How would I do it?

Thanks.

Are you looking for this?

$t = new TemplateFile($config->paths->templates . "./{$page->template}.php");
$t->set( "hello", "hello world" );
$t->set( 'input', $input);
echo $t->render();

If that works like that, yes (regardless of quotes).

Does that work like that?

[Soma]

What do you think why I posted that?

Soma's correct with this. But minor point:

$t = new TemplateFile($config->paths->templates . "./{$page->template}.php");

 

That "./" would probably prevent it from working.

 

It should probably be:

 

$t = new TemplateFile($config->paths->templates . "$page->template.php");

Or if you are doing this already from a template file (script is already in /site/templates/):

 

$t = new TemplateFile("./$page->template.php");
