Hi,
I use ZPT with zope and I was checking out PHPTAL. One fundamental issue
I found is that a variable defined in a macro is not made available to
the elements of the calling zpt. That is, given this macro, peopleMain.zpt
<html metal:define-macro="main" tal:define="people php:peopleGet()">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div metal:define-slot="content_main">
</div>
</body>
</html>
which is being used as [Browser] -> people.php -> people.zpt ->
peopleMain.zpt
where peopleGet is a function in people.php which processes the template
people.zpt which is:
<html metal:use-macro="person.zpt/main"><head>
</head>
<body>
<div metal:fill-slot="content_main">
<ul>
<li tal:repeat="user people" tal:content="user/name"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I get the error:
exception 'PHPTAL_VariableNotFoundException' with message 'Unable to
find variable 'people' in current scope' in /var/www/PHP/people.zpt
This is a real pity, because in the same way that people.zpt defines the
common elements of a web site, so would do the global variable people,
ie, keeping all the common data for all the pages. This limitation
(bug?) forces to include a call to peopleGet in all php/zpt pages.
Regards,
Fernando
