Using Smarty Template Engine with DooPHP

[drewish]

If anyone is interested I modified Doophp to use Smarty Template Engine.
The code goes into DooController.php for the view function.

Code: Select all

       public function view($smarty=true){
           if($smarty){
            //initiate Smarty
            if($this->_view==NULL){
              include(Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH. 'protected/class/smarty/Smarty.class.php');
              $template = new Smarty;
          $template->compile_check = false;
          $template->force_compile = true;
    //you can use this if you want to use smarty debugging
          if(isset($_GET['debug'])){
             $template->debugging = true;
          }else{
             $template->debugging = false;
          }
    //you can use this to clear template cache
          if(isset($_GET['reset'])){
             $template->clear_all_cache();
          }
          $template->template_dir = Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH . "protected/view";
          $template->compile_dir  = Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH . "protected/viewc";
          $this->_view = $template;
              }
            }else{
            if($this->_view==NULL){
                Doo::loadCore('view/DooView');
                $this->_view = new DooView;
            }
          }
            return $this->_view;
        }


Then from your controllers you can call
smarty like this:

Code: Select all

 $this->view()->assign('page', 'categories');
$this->view()->display('categories.html');

Drewish, you can use Doo::loadClass() or $this->load()->class() in the Controller

Code: Select all

include(Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH. 'protected/class/smarty/Smarty.class.php');

can be shorten to

Code: Select all

Doo::loadClass('smarty/Smarty.class');

[leng]

If you don't wish to modify the framework source you can write a class that extends DooController and override the view method or just create a new method call smartyView

Code: Select all

class SmartyController extends DooController{
     public function view($smarty=true){
            // .... do smarty stuff here
     }
}

// in your controller
Doo::loadController('SmartyController');
class MyWebsiteController extends SmartyController {
      function getNews(){
             $this->view()->smarty_functions ....
      }
}

I need help.
I tried integrating smarty template engine with doophp and my template test page is not displaying in the browser.
Here is what I have done

1. In template_engine demo folder I added smarty library in the protected/class/smarty/ folder.
2. I created SmartyController.php in the protected/contoller/ folder:

Code: Select all

<?php
class SmartyController extends DooController{
       public function smartyView($smarty=true){
           if($smarty){
            //initiate Smarty
            if($this->_view==NULL){
              //include(Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH. 'protected/class/smarty/Smarty.class.php');
      Doo::loadClass('smarty/Smarty.class');
              $template = new Smarty;
          $template->compile_check = false;
          $template->force_compile = true;
    //you can use this if you want to use smarty debugging
          if(isset($_GET['debug'])){
             $template->debugging = true;
          }else{
             $template->debugging = false;
          }
    //you can use this to clear template cache
          if(isset($_GET['reset'])){
             $template->clear_all_cache();
          }
          $template->template_dir = Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH . "protected/view";
          $template->compile_dir  = Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH . "protected/viewc";
          $template->cache_dir = Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH . "protected/cache";
          $template->config_dir = Doo::conf()->SITE_PATH . "protected/config";
          $this->_view = $template;
              }
            }else{
            if($this->_view==NULL){
                Doo::loadCore('view/DooView');
                $this->_view = new DooView;
            }
          }
            return $this->_view;
        }
     }
}

?>

3. I created another MysmartyController.php in the protected/controller/ folder

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
 * Description of MySmartyController
 *
 * @author Peter
 */
Doo::loadController('SmartyController');
class MysmartyController extends SmartyController {
    function test(){
          $data['title'] = 'Smarty Test Template';
         $data['name'] = 'Peter';
         $this->smartyView()->assign('title', $data['title']);
         $this->smartyView()->assign('name', $data['name']);
         $this->smartyView()->display('mysmarty_template.tpl');
   }
}

?>

4. I created the file mysmarty_template.tpl file in protected/view/ folder

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>{$title}</title>
</head>

<body>
<p>hello {$name}.</p>
</body>
</html>


5. I entered the following entry in the protected/config/routes.conf.php file:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
 * Define your URI routes here.
 *
 * $route[Request Method][Uri ] = array( Controller class, action method, other options, etc. )
 *
 * RESTful api support, *=any request method, GET PUT POST DELETE
 * POST    Create
 * GET      Read
 * PUT      Update, Create
 * DELETE    Delete
 */
$route['*']['/'] = array('MainController', 'index');
$route['*']['/url'] = array('MainController', 'url');
$route['*']['/example'] = array('MainController', 'example');
$route['*']['/error'] = array('ErrorController', 'index');
$route['*']['/html'] = array('HtmlController', 'test');
$route['*']['/php'] = array('PhpController', 'test');
$route['*']['/smarty'] = array('MysmartyController', 'test');
$route['*']['/about'] = $route['*']['/'];

//----------- Template routes ---------
$route['*']['/template.html'] = array('MainController', 'template_source');

?>

6. when i browse http://localhost/doophp/demos/template_engine/index.php/smarty I get webpage cannot be displayed message.

ANY ERRORS in my code??

[leng]

Can you copy-paste the exact error message here?

[pmathia]

Sure Leng,
Here is the error displayed in the browser. Am I missing any php extension perhaps? I am already running Smarty on other folders in my www root.


This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.


I hope I fix that with your help so I proceed learning and implementing the great doophp cms.

[leng]

can you have display_error on for PHP? because this message tells me that your web server is hiding the PHP errors.

[pmathia]

It was a quotation I forgot to close. Thank you leng for the tip of turning display_errors on.
