multiple template directories

tomcat4x

Hi,

first of all congratulations to this framework.

But i am not sure, if this framework fulfill my requirements.
.
I am looking for a solution to have multiple template sets. All the templates should be stored in one directory with subdirectorties which are named different.

/wwwroot
/templates
/templateset1
/templateset2

Dependend on a parameter (from neon or later from database) nette should chose the corresponding templateset

Is this possible with nette? If yes, whats the best way?

Templates are finded by formatTemplateFiles() and formatLayoutTemplateFiles() methods in Presenter.
Overwrite that methods in your BasePresenter and change directory as you can.

That works fine, if i declare the new template path static.

But how do i get informations from neon or a database in the basePresenter? There will never be an instance of this class. And eg. in the HompagePresenter its to late do declare the template path.

Here is my solution:

abstract class BasePresenter extends Nette\Application\UI\Presenter
{

	private $templateName ="default";

	public function formatLayoutTemplateFiles()
	{
		$this->setTemplateName();
		$name = $this->getName();
		$presenter = substr($name, strrpos(':' . $name, ':'));
		$layout = $this->layout ? $this->layout : 'layout';
		$dir =$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
		$dir = is_dir("$dir/templates") ? $dir : dirname($dir);
		$list = array(
			"$dir/templates/" . $this->templateName . "/$presenter/@$layout.latte",
			"$dir/templates/" . $this->templateName . "/$presenter.@$layout.latte",
		);
		do {
			$list[] = "$dir/templates/" . $this->templateName . "/@$layout.latte";
			$dir = dirname($dir);
		} while ($dir && ($name = substr($name, 0, strrpos($name, ':'))));
		return $list;
	}


	/**
	 * Formats view template file names.
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function formatTemplateFiles()
	{
		$this->setTemplateName();
		$name = $this->getName();
		$presenter = substr($name, strrpos(':' . $name, ':'));
		//$dir = dirname($this->getReflection()->getFileName());
		$dir =$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
		$dir = is_dir("$dir/templates") ? $dir : dirname($dir);
		return array(
			"$dir/templates/" . $this->templateName . "/$presenter/$this->view.latte",
			"$dir/templates/" . $this->templateName . "/$presenter.$this->view.latte",
		);
	}

	private function setTemplateName(){

		// using the templateName from neon config name
		//$templateName = $this->context->getParameters()['templateName'];

		// getting the template name from the default database in table templates
		$context = $this->context->getService('database.default.context');
		$selection = $context->table('templates')
		->where('default = 1');
		// TODO check if query has a result
		// TODO check if the directory exsits
		$this->templateName = $selection[0]->name;

	}
}

I overwrite the two functions formatTemplateFiles() and formatLayoutTemplateFiles() and added a private function setTemplateName() which is called at the beginning of the two overwritten functions.

The function setTemplateName() is getting the default database connection from the context, makes a query on the table “templates” and overwrites the private property $templateName.

The two functions formatTemplateFiles() and formatLayoutTemplateFiles() are now looking for a directory under the base www directory where the index.php is located ($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]) for a directory /templates/templateName.

I know, that there are some things to improve but it works.
