vb.org Archive - View Single Post - [HOW TO - vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables

jlevi · #31 12-01-2009, 06:42 PM

This isn't working for me. I'm probably doing something wrong, but at the moment I have a custom php page (I created following another tutorial elsewhere) that is calling a custom template.

The code for the php page:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); 
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);   
// change this depending on your filename 

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### 
// get special phrase groups 
$phrasegroups = array(); 

// get special data templates from the datastore 
$specialtemplates = array(); 

// pre-cache templates used by all actions 
$globaltemplates = array('TESTPAGE', 
); 

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 
$actiontemplates = array(); 

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('./global.php'); 

// ####################################################################### 
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 
// ####################################################################### 

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Test Page')); 
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits); 

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE ##### 
$pagetitle = 'My Page Title'; 

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ###### 

$templater = vB_Template::create('TESTPAGE'); 
$templater->register_page_templates(); 
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar); 
$templater->register('pagetitle', 'Test Page'); 
print_output($templater->render()); 

?>

And the HTML template (called TESTPAGE):

HTML Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
  <head>
    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
    {vb:raw headinclude}
  </head>
  <body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}
    
    <div id="pagetitle">
      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
    </div>
    
    <h2 class="blockhead">Title</h2>
    <div class="blockbody">
      <div class="blockrow">
        Text
      </div>
    </div>
    
    {vb:raw footer}
  </body>
</html>

And the plugin in global_start:

PHP Code:


			
$templater = vB_Template::create('TESTPAGE'); 
print_output($templater->render());

Where have I gone wrong? I've spent a good half an hour going through the tutorial and trying various things but can't seem to get it working. It always makes the whole site blank, but if I call another template (e.g. contactus instead of TESTPAGE) it works fine, so the problem seems to lie with the plugin.

Any help greatly appreciated - thanks in advance
