OPTv2: How to load a template file for other folder than the configured

[amichelin]

Hi :

Code:

$tpl = new Opt_Class;

// Loading from array
$cfg = array( 'sourceDir' => '../comun/tpl' );

$tpl->loadConfig($cfg);

$tpl->setup();

$moduleView = new Opt_View('../sales/tpl/news.tpl'); --> this is valid

// Let's assume that the news are loaded from the ORM.
$moduleView->news = ORM::selectNews();
 
$layoutView = new Opt_View('layout.tpl');
$layoutView->title = 'Index';
 
// Assign the module view to the layout
$layoutView->module = $moduleView;
 
// Add some global data for the templates.
Opt_View::assignGlobal('website', array(
    'title' => 'My Website',
    'address' => 'http://www.example.com/'
));

Is valid pass the path to the Opt_View constructor?

Or exist and other code to do this?

Thanks in advance

../ should not be used in the template names, as it may cause problems with the compiled templates. Even if it works now, I cannot guarantee I will in the future. However, the directory names themselves are acceptable. For example, the OPT port for Zend Framework by default assumes that the template for the specified action in the controller lies in controller/action.tpl template within the sourceDir directory.

Furthermore, you may always specify more paths in sourceDir:

Code:

$tpl->sourceDir = array(
  'file' => './directory1/', // the default directory
  'foo' => './directory2/',
  'bar' => './directory3/'
);
$tpl->setup();

$view1 = new Opt_View('abc.tpl'); // taken from the "file" directory
$view2 = new Opt_View('foo:abc.tpl'); // taken from the "foo" directory
$view3 = new Opt_View('bar:abc.tpl'); // taken from the "bar" directory

Take also the look at http://forums.invenzzia.org/index.php/topic,102.0.html if you need more advanced solutions.

Thanks a lot.

Each module has her own folder tpl that holds the tpl files.
