I know you are looking for AnyTemplate answers, but I thought I would
mention how this is done with the TT plugin. Everytime you call
tt_process to render a template, an automatic call is made to
tt_pre_process which will receive the template name, and all template
parameters that were passed to tt_process. This allows you to alter
the parameters at the last moment before the template is rendered.
here is the relevant section of the docs:
tt_pre_process
This is an overridable method that works in the spirit of
cgiapp_prerun. The method will be called just before a
template is processed, and will be passed the same parame-
ters that were passed to tt_process (ie the template file-
name, and a hashref of template parameters). It can be
used to make last minute changes to the template, or the
parameters before the template is processed.
Here is a quick example that adds the session object to every template:
sub tt_pre_process {
my $self = shift;
my $template = shift;
my $vars = shift;
$vars->{session} = $self->session;
}
I believe there is similar functionality in AnyTemplate, but I don't
know the exact syntax... Check the docs
Cheers,
Cees
