Templates

One way a file on the server to use as a template. Thus, the editing of the template from the CMS is shifted to a FTP enabled editor.

Condition: → /config/phpwcms/conf.inc.php

• $phpwcms['allow_ext_init'] = 1;

In the directory template/inc_script/frontend_init/ we stored the file template_inject01.php with the following content:

<?php
/*********************************************************************************************
* Backend Template main replace
* Replaces the the main template with the contents of the
* file "template/inc_script/template/main01.php".
* KH 07.01.2010
**********************************************************************************************/
 
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// obligate check for phpwcms constants
  if (!defined('PHPWCMS_ROOT')) {
    die("You Cannot Access This Script Directly, Have a Nice Day."); }
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
if ($block['maintext'] == 'main01.php')
    $block['maintext'] = file_get_contents(PHPWCMS_TEMPLATE.'/inc_script/template/'.$block['maintext']);
 
?>

In this example the template file is called “main01.php” and is stored in the directory “template/inc_script/template/”.
The script looks in the template block “main” whether the text “main01.php” is entered there. (And only this one).

<note important> To make fast the query the presence of tags is not tested in the “main:” field.

This procedure should only be used in the development phase!! </note>

Normally these fields are no longer usefully, there these fields with the layout variant rendering: “custom” not to be queried.
With a small replacer it is however possible to merge these input fields into the field “main:”.

We set the tags into the postions where the contents of these fields in the template “main:” will be merged.

• {HEADERTEMP} = Content from “header:”
• {FOOTERTEMP} = Content from “footer:”
• {RIGHTTEMP} = Content from “right:”
• {LEFTTEMP} = Content from “left:”

<note> It may happen that some functions in the alternative fields will be processed by the system before inserting in “main”. If so, please place the instructions directly into the “main:” field. Alternatively, the RT (SHOW_CONTENT :…..} could be used. </note>

Condition: → /config/phpwcms/conf.inc.php

• $phpwcms['allow_ext_init'] = 1;

Please insert into the folder template/inc_script/frontend_init/ the file template_inject02.php with the following content:

<?php
/*********************************************************************************************
* Backend Template field replacer
* Replaces the placeholder {HEADERTEMP}, {FOOTERTEMP}, {LEFTTEMP}, {RIGHTTEMP} in "main"
* with the contents of the fields "header", "footer", "left", "right".
* KH 07.01.2010

The self-defined “custom” blocks are addressed with (e.g. block name “BOX01” in page layout → blocks → custom:)

$block['customblock_BOX01']

<note important> To make fast the query the presence of tags is not tested in the “main:” field. It is your responsibility to use only tags, although the corresponding content is available in alternative fields. </note>

Both methods can be combined.
