Now I've implemented my first smarty template driven admin section.
I had to add a few lines of code.
Here's what I did.
In the admin page I added the following lines (Bold text is the original code, or test code!):
[b]global $xoopsModule;[/b]
[b]xoops_cp_header();[/b]
require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/class/template.php';
if ( !isset($xoopsTpl) ) { // Just in case, for new releases
$xoopsTpl = new XoopsTpl();
$oldsystem = true;
}else $oldsystem = false;
$xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'ad_skel_testmenu.html'; // To be compatible with existing system.
[b]// your code starts:[/b]
[b]$xoopsTpl->assign( 'ModuleUrlPath', XOOPS_URL."/modules/".$xoopsModule->getVar('dirname'));[/b]
[b]$xoopsTpl->assign( 'ModuleRootPath', XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/modules/".$xoopsModule->getVar('dirname'));[/b]
[b]$xoopsTpl->assign( 'goan', 'smee' );[/b]
[b]// Your code ends.[/b]
if ($oldsystem) { // Don't execute if newer versions has smarty implemented.
if (isset($xoopsOption['template_main'])) {
$xoopsTpl->xoops_setCaching(0);
$xoopsTpl->display('db:'.$xoopsOption['template_main']);
}
}
[b]xoops_cp_footer();[/b]
To go with this code, I made a template file called
ad_skel_testmenu.html' containing:
<p>
<center>
<b>Admin smarty test!</b><br />
</center>
Path is: <{$ModuleRootPath}><br />
Url is: <{$ModuleUrlPath}><br />
</p>
and finaly I added the following lines to the
xoops_version.php file:
$modversion['templates'][1]['file'] = 'ad_skel_testmenu.html';
$modversion['templates'][1]['description'] = 'Test of smarty in admin..';
Thanks for your help everyone!
Idear:
It might be a good thing to place all admin templates in a directory called admin under templates, just like blocks.
We might aswell try to make a standard, so that smarty can be propperly implemented in the system, and modules will continue to function.
