Re: [htmltmpl] Writing an extension for HTML::Template - how to do it?

Title: Message
No need to send emails to both me and list (twice) I guess ?
 
 
Anyway - I already looked into that. It's what CGI::Application::Framework uses.
But it's not what I need/want.
 
That way I can only call some run_mode (method) from current module (one that is outputing
the template in the first place).  I would need to manualy add plugins to each of the module
(or just in base module). 
 
 
On the other hand, I could write an method in my base module (inherited by others). And implement
that logic inside of him (require SomeModule, call some_run_mode in it ...).
 
 
But all that would be similar like this:
 
<TMPL_VAR NAME="CGIAPP_EMBED('run_plugin','some_plugin','param1','param')">
 
I was hopping to avoid that ... and make it shorter/simpler as:
 
<TMPL_PLUGIN NAME="SomeName(param1, param2)">

Hi
 
Since you're using CGI::App, you should have a look at CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate - which will allow you to call a run mode with the H::T
 
 <TMPL_VAR NAME="CGIAPP_embed('some_run_mode', 'param, 'param')">

Subject: [htmltmpl] Writing an extension for HTML::Template - how to do it?

Hello folks!
 
Don't know if it's just me or documentation of HTML::Template::Extension isn't good. Eitherway, I can't figure out how to write an extenstion for it, that I need for my project.
 
I work with CGI::Application, and I wan't to be able to use (reusable) objects in my templates.
 
For instance :
 
<tmpl_plugin name="SomeName(param1, param2)">
 
My filter would find SomeName module (Prefix such as MyApp::Plugin::SomeName) make an instance of it and call method - say named run. And place returned value instead of this tag.
 
Think of it as another template file that is included but it has some processing ... That way I can create one module/plugin and use it througth whole site/application.
 
 
If I don't figure this out soon - I will have to give a shot to HTML::Template::Expr and register a function with it (<tmpl_var name="plugin(SomeName, param1, param2)">).
 
Thanks.
