Friendica Templating Documentation
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
* [Home](help)
|
|
|
|
Friendica uses [Smarty 3](http://www.smarty.net/) as PHP templating engine.
|
|
The main templates are found in
|
|
|
|
/view/templates
|
|
|
|
theme authors may overwrite the default templates by putting a files with the same name into the
|
|
|
|
/view/themes/$themename/templates
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
Templates that are only used by addons shall be placed in the
|
|
|
|
/addon/$addonname/templates
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
To render a template use the function *getMarkupTemplate* to load the template and *replaceMacros* to replace the macros/variables in the just loaded template file.
|
|
|
|
$tpl = Renderer::getMarkupTemplate('install_settings.tpl');
|
|
$o .= Renderer::replaceMacros($tpl, array( ... ));
|
|
|
|
the array consists of an association of an identifier and the value for that identifier, i.e.
|
|
|
|
'$title' => $install_title,
|
|
|
|
where the value may as well be an array by its own.
|
|
|
|
Form Templates
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
To guarantee a consistent look and feel for input forms, i.e. in the settings sections, there are templates for the basic form fields.
|
|
They are initialized with an array of data, depending on the tyle of the field.
|
|
|
|
All of these take an array holding the values, e.g. for a one line text input field, which is required and should be used to type email addresses use something along the lines of:
|
|
|
|
'$adminmail' => array('adminmail', DI::l10n()->t('Site administrator email address'), $adminmail, DI::l10n()->t('Your account email address must match this in order to use the web admin panel.'), 'required', '', 'email'),
|
|
|
|
To evaluate the input value, you can then use the $_POST array, more precisely the $_POST['adminemail'] variable.
|
|
|
|
Listed below are the template file names, the general purpose of the template and their field parameters.
