Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL Tutorials]

[Pete Loggie]

ahem...

Yes, if I use a PHP file using program code, then everything works  
just fine!


That was the very obvious part that I was missing! I knew it was  
something obvious. But that step wasn't made obvious in either the  
book I was using (PHP in Action by Manning: it's brilliant in parts,  
but a bit rushed and piecemeal in others...), or the PHPTAL  
documentation online. They just talk about the templates and the macro  
files, and don't seem to mention the vital step of creating a file  
that brings the files together...


Thank you very much for your help :-)

then its more likely you macro does some tal:condition right at the
beginning and therefor simply does not get executed? do you use some
kind of tal:block="" syntax there?

you could try to call the macro with the file name prefixed but  
from the

current file. e.g:

test.xhtml:


hello world

'read and write' either...

Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL Tutorials]

[Pete Loggie]

I'd love it if someone could shed some light on my really basic  
problem. It's prevented me from doing anything with PHPTAL: I'm using  
Smarty instead


I have a problem with external macros. I can define a macro and use it  
within the same file no problem. But when I put the macro in a  
different file, and then refer to it as explained in the PHPTAL manual  
(i.e. ), it simply doesn't  
work.


The file that contains the external macro is in the same directory, so  
I see no need to specify the file path. That said, it won't work even  
if I specify the file path.


Any ideas what the problem is? The code I'm using is below. The  
"internal" macro is displayed, but the "external" macro isn't:


macro.html



This is the external macro




page.html


This is the internal macro

Re: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL Tutorials

[Alister Cameron]

It's a fair point, though, that there are no real "tutorials" for PHPTAL, or
any note.

No videos, no step-by-steps, etc.

The manual is very bare for people who like examples and to be stepped thru
things.

It's something I will address to a point with docco I create for my Vanilla
WP theme... as soon as I can get around to it!!
