I would like to create a template representing a sales checkout page which is supposed to have different upselling items on the bottom, depending which items are currently in the shopping basket. I would like to include the HTML tag to the upselling item with TMPL_INCLUDE, but the problem is that the name of the template that should be included is dynamic, so I cannot write that as fixed string into the shopping basked template.
The problem description above is probably too confusing, so here's an example of what I am trying to do. I have this template which the contents of the user's shopping basket plus an upselling item:
some code for displaying shopping cart.... <!-- now include the template that includes the upselling item --> <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="myupsellingitem1.tmpl"> some more code for the page footer.
Now, this works fine if I have only one upselling item. But If I have 2 of them and only the perl script knows which one should be displayed I would need I TMPL_INCLUDE that works with a name refers to the name of a TMPL_VAR of the same context. I would need something like this:
some code for displaying shopping cart.... <!-- now include the template that includes the upselling item --> <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME=UPSELLING_TEMPLATE_FILENAME> some more code for the page footer.
and of course I would need to have something like $Template->param(UPSELLING_TEMPLATE_FILENAME => 'myupsellingitem1.tmpl'); in my template.
Unfortunately this is currently not possible in HTML::Template. I could think of loading the template via HTTP and using server side includes or php to do the job, but that would be an ugly solution. It would also be possible to "filter" the output of one template and use it as input for the next, but that would be quite messy too. Is there any clean way to do this?
Thanks,
Adrian Grigore
