[PHPTAL] Using PHPTAL with index.php?page=... thing
Hi, PHPTAL users. (Sorry for my bad English as I'm from Ukraine) I write this letter to ask about what the best idea about how to use the PHPTAL engine with the standard PHP site engine technology like this: www.mysite.com/index.php?page=login www.mysite.com/index.php?page=faq www.mysite.com/index.php?page=subscrib and so on... I'm going to build index.html template and run it from index.php page, but then I have different code to be executed on different pages like login.php, faq.php, subscribe.php and so on. So I have to have index.html, login.html, faq.html and subscrib.htmltemplates, but also I want to have index.php, faq.php, subscrib.php pages with some code to be executed. How can I join such things together? I'm really waiting for any answer or advice and any comments may help. Thanks in advance, Anton Andriyevskyy ___ PHPTAL mailing list PHPTAL@lists.motion-twin.com http://lists.motion-twin.com/mailman/listinfo/phptal

Re: [PHPTAL] Using PHPTAL with index.php?page=... thing
Actually, phptal should only be used for the presentation of the data.
your controller and models, should do most of the work you want.
Here is a snippet of my index.php aka navigation controller:
*...
*if (isset($__xml_attributes['redirect'])){
print header(Location: {$__xml_attributes['redirect']});
exit;
} else if (isset($__xml_attributes['execute'])) {
$benchmark-start('loading-sub-controller-section');
include_once(controllers/{$__xml_attributes['execute']}.php);
$benchmark-stop('loading-sub-controller-section');
}
*...
*Nevermind the benchmark stuff, I like to know how long everything takes
to run.

Ok, you told the same thing but in shortest and more simple words.
Thanks you.
PHPTAL works best if you design your application using MVC pattern
Where can I read professional comments and how it works?

Ok, I found some idea about how to solve my problem.
The method is very easy and applicable to use both PHPTAL and PHP CMS
engine technology
described in my first letter (which is question).
The idea is to have only one index.html template with the site layout,
and then to have different
login.html, faq.html, subscribe.html (and so on) layouts to insert
into index.html layout.
Take into account that I do not want to rewrite site layout in all
templates, I want to have it only in index.html.
So I build index.html, and then I build some library with macroses for
each page. I'm planning to use them then
using metal:use-macro attribute.
So the steps are:
1. Create index.html template for page layout (navigation, news
and so on) and templates for each page using metal:define-macro for
each
page
2. Create $template = new PHPTAL(index.html) in your index.phpfile
and define variables in $template to use to render site's layout
3. Define something like $template-page and use it in
metal:use-macro tag to insert specific page content
4. Create faq.php, login.php and other files so you will add
specific $template-pagespecificvariable1,
$template-pagespecificvariable2
(...) values
5. Use specific variable values in specific macroses.
6. In index.php include specific pageX.php (index.php?page=pageX).
So your pageX will add specific variable values to the $template
7. Render page using $template object
Any comments may help to improve the idea.
