Getting twig partial markup in controller throws error? - php

I'm trying to get rendered twig content in a plugin controller. I'm using CmsCompoundObject to load a partial but it's throwing an error.
$theme = Theme::getActiveThemeCode();
$markup = CmsCompoundObject::load($theme, "partials/test.htm")->getTwigContent();
The from property is invalid, make sure that Cms\Classes\CmsCompoundObject has a string value for its $dirName property (use '' if not using directories)
../october/rain/src/Halcyon/Builder.php line 309
Looking at the code, this is where it's throwing the error:
/**
* #return array
*/
protected function runSelect()
{
if (!is_string($this->from)) {
throw new ApplicationException(sprintf("The from property is invalid, make sure that %s has a string value for its \$dirName property (use '' if not using directories)", get_class($this->model)));
}
if ($this->selectSingle) {
list($name, $extension) = $this->selectSingle;
return $this->datasource->selectOne($this->from, $name, $extension);
}
}
$theme is a string and not empty, it properly gets the current theme so I'm not sure why it's saying invalid.

OctoberCMS Slack channel helped me find the solution.
First was to use Partial instead of CmsCompoundObject and the 2nd was to remove "partials/" from the path name as the Partial class already knows to look in that directory.
$theme = Theme::getActiveTheme();
$markup = Partial::load($theme, "test.htm")->getTwigContent();

Slim framework v4 -- Add globals to TwigView

In testing, I have been unable to add globals to Slim v4's TwigView. It used to be that you could do it like so:
$twigView->getEnvironment()->addGlobal('flash', $container->get('flash'));
$twigView->getEnvironment()->addGlobal('session', $_SESSION);
But that now throws the exception: Unable to add global 'flash' as the runtime or the extensions have already been initialized.
I took a look at the Environment class of Twig and found this bit of validation:
/**
* Registers a Global.
*
* New globals can be added before compiling or rendering a template;
* but after, you can only update existing globals.
*
* #param string $name The global name
* #param mixed $value The global value
*/
public function addGlobal($name, $value)
{
if ($this->extensionSet->isInitialized() && !array_key_exists($name, $this->getGlobals())) {
throw new \LogicException(sprintf('Unable to add global "%s" as the runtime or the extensions have already been initialized.', $name));
}
if (null !== $this->resolvedGlobals) {
$this->resolvedGlobals[$name] = $value;
} else {
$this->globals[$name] = $value;
}
}
Can anybody explain to me why we seem to be throwing the exception if the global DOESN'T exist, instead of if it DOES exist? That seems to be a logic error to me, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding it.
Thanks in advance.
It is not a logical error.
From the DocBlock you posted with your question:
New globals can be added before compiling or rendering a template; but after, you can only update existing globals.
Now having a look at the code:
if (
// if the extension is initialized, the right side of && operator will be evaluated and...
$this->extensionSet->isInitialized() &&
// ...this means, we are only allowed to UPDATE a global,
// so the global should already exist
// and its lack of existence is an error, hence, if it does not exists, we throw an exception
!array_key_exists($name, $this->getGlobals())
) {
throw new \LogicException(sprintf('Unable to add global "%s" as the runtime or the extensions have already been initialized.', $name));
}
The error text basically says:
A global with the name you're referring to does not exist, which means this is not an update but a creation operation,
and since the extension is already initialized, you're not allowed to do an update.

Symfony upload a file by using form

I am using Symfony 3.4.8 and I try to create a form for uploading a file. I followed exact the Symfony document steps but got the error:
Controller "AppBundle\Report::uploadReport()" requires that you provide a value for the "$fileUploader" argument. Either the argument is nullable and no null value has been provided, no default value has been provided or because there is a non optional argument after this one.
Here is part of my code, the rest are the same from the document except I changed the class name. Clearly when the function get called, there is no FileUploader argument passed into the function. If I remove the argument FileUploader $fileUploader, the page can load without throwing exception but it won't get the file. I am new to Symfony, how can I solve this problem?
/**
* #Route("/report/create-report/upload/", name="report_create")
*/
public function uploadReport(Request $request, FileUploader $fileUploader)
{
$report = new Report();
$form = $this->createForm(ReportType::class, $report);
$form->add('submit', SubmitType::class);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
// $file stores the uploaded PDF file
/** #var Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile $file */
$file = $report->getReport();
$fileName = $fileUploader->upload($file);
$report->setBrochure($fileName);
//$fileName = $this->generateUniqueFileName().'.'.$file->guessExtension();
// moves the file to the directory where brochures are stored
//$file->move(
// $this->getParameter('reports_directory'),
// $fileName
//);
// updates the 'brochure' property to store the PDF file name
// instead of its contents
//$report->setReport($fileName);
// ... persist the $product variable or any other work
}
return $this->render('report/createReport.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
I have seen the post but I cannot get that answer to work on my end as there is no such variable $container.
Last update: I gave up trying implement upload from scratch. I used the recommended bundle to make it work with minimum amount of coding.
the argument brochures_directory of your FileUploader.php service seems to be emtpy.
Did you specify it in service.yml?
Did you also add it in your config.yml ?
And then did you clear symfony cache after change ?

Is there any way to compile a blade template from a string?

How can I compile a blade template from a string rather than a view file, like the code below:
<?php
$string = '<h2>{{ $name }}</h2>';
echo Blade::compile($string, array('name' => 'John Doe'));
?>
http://paste.laravel.com/ujL
I found the solution by extending BladeCompiler.
<?php namespace Laravel\Enhanced;
use Illuminate\View\Compilers\BladeCompiler as LaravelBladeCompiler;
class BladeCompiler extends LaravelBladeCompiler {
/**
* Compile blade template with passing arguments.
*
* #param string $value HTML-code including blade
* #param array $args Array of values used in blade
* #return string
*/
public function compileWiths($value, array $args = array())
{
$generated = parent::compileString($value);
ob_start() and extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
// We'll include the view contents for parsing within a catcher
// so we can avoid any WSOD errors. If an exception occurs we
// will throw it out to the exception handler.
try
{
eval('?>'.$generated);
}
// If we caught an exception, we'll silently flush the output
// buffer so that no partially rendered views get thrown out
// to the client and confuse the user with junk.
catch (\Exception $e)
{
ob_get_clean(); throw $e;
}
$content = ob_get_clean();
return $content;
}
}
Small modification to the above script.
You can use this function inside any class without extending the BladeCompiler class.
public function bladeCompile($value, array $args = array())
{
$generated = \Blade::compileString($value);
ob_start() and extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
// We'll include the view contents for parsing within a catcher
// so we can avoid any WSOD errors. If an exception occurs we
// will throw it out to the exception handler.
try
{
eval('?>'.$generated);
}
// If we caught an exception, we'll silently flush the output
// buffer so that no partially rendered views get thrown out
// to the client and confuse the user with junk.
catch (\Exception $e)
{
ob_get_clean(); throw $e;
}
$content = ob_get_clean();
return $content;
}
For anyone still interested in this, they've added it to Laravel 9
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
return Blade::render('Hello, {{ $name }}', ['name' => 'Julian Bashir']);
https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/blade#rendering-inline-blade-templates
I just stumbled upon the same requirement! For me, i had to fetch a blade template stored in DB & render it to send email notifications.
I did this in laravel 5.8 by kind-of Extending \Illuminate\View\View. So, basically i created the below class & named him StringBlade (I couldn't find a better name atm :/)
<?php
namespace App\Central\Libraries\Blade;
use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;
class StringBlade implements StringBladeContract
{
/**
* #var Filesystem
*/
protected $file;
/**
* #var \Illuminate\View\View|\Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory
*/
protected $viewer;
/**
* StringBlade constructor.
*
* #param Filesystem $file
*/
public function __construct(Filesystem $file)
{
$this->file = $file;
$this->viewer = view();
}
/**
* Get Blade File path.
*
* #param $bladeString
* #return bool|string
*/
protected function getBlade($bladeString)
{
$bladePath = $this->generateBladePath();
$content = \Blade::compileString($bladeString);
return $this->file->put($bladePath, $content)
? $bladePath
: false;
}
/**
* Get the rendered HTML.
*
* #param $bladeString
* #param array $data
* #return bool|string
*/
public function render($bladeString, $data = [])
{
// Put the php version of blade String to *.php temp file & returns the temp file path
$bladePath = $this->getBlade($bladeString);
if (!$bladePath) {
return false;
}
// Render the php temp file & return the HTML content
$content = $this->viewer->file($bladePath, $data)->render();
// Delete the php temp file.
$this->file->delete($bladePath);
return $content;
}
/**
* Generate a blade file path.
*
* #return string
*/
protected function generateBladePath()
{
$cachePath = rtrim(config('cache.stores.file.path'), '/');
$tempFileName = sha1('string-blade' . microtime());
$directory = "{$cachePath}/string-blades";
if (!is_dir($directory)) {
mkdir($directory, 0777);
}
return "{$directory}/{$tempFileName}.php";
}
}
As you can already see from the above, below are the steps followed:
First converted the blade string to the php equivalent using \Blade::compileString($bladeString).
Now we have to store it to a physical file. For this storage, the frameworks cache directory is used - storage/framework/cache/data/string-blades/
Now we can ask \Illuminate\View\Factory native method 'file()' to compile & render this file.
Delete the temp file immediately (In my case i didn't need to keep the php equivalent file, Probably same for you too)
And Finally i created a facade in a composer auto-loaded file for easy usage like below:
<?php
if (! function_exists('string_blade')) {
/**
* Get StringBlade Instance or returns the HTML after rendering the blade string with the given data.
*
* #param string $html
* #param array $data
* #return StringBladeContract|bool|string
*/
function string_blade(string $html, $data = [])
{
return !empty($html)
? app(StringBladeContract::class)->render($html, $data)
: app(StringBladeContract::class);
}
}
Now i can call it from anywhere like below:
<?php
$html = string_blade('<span>My Name is {{ $name }}</span>', ['name' => 'Nikhil']);
// Outputs HTML
// <span>My Name is Nikhil</span>
Hope this helps someone or at-least maybe inspires someone to re-write in a better way.
Cheers!
I'm not using blade this way but I thought that the compile method accepts only a view as argument.
Maybe you're looking for:
Blade::compileString()
It's a old question. But I found a package which makes the job easier.
Laravel Blade String Compiler renders the blade templates from the string value. Check the documentation on how to install the package.
Here is an example:
$template = '<h1>{{ $name }}</h1>'; // string blade template
return view (['template' => $template], ['name' => 'John Doe']);
Note: The package is now updated to support till Laravel 6.
I know its pretty old thread, but today also requirement is same.
Following is the way I solved this on my Laravel 5.7 (but this will work with any laravel version greater than version 5), I used the knowledge gained from this thread and few other threads to get this working (will leave links to all threads at the end, if this help up-vote those too)
I added this to my helper.php (I used this technique to add helper to my project, but you can use this function directly as well)
if (! function_exists('inline_view')) {
/**
* Get the evaluated view contents for the given blade string.
*
* #param string $view
* #param array $data
* #param array $mergeData
* #return \Illuminate\View\View|\Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory
*/
function inline_view($view = null, $data = [], $mergeData = [])
{
/* Create a file with name as hash of the passed string */
$filename = hash('sha1', $view);
/* Putting it in storage/framework/views so that these files get cleared on `php artisan view:clear*/
$file_location = storage_path('framework/views/');
$filepath = storage_path('framework/views/'.$filename.'.blade.php');
/* Create file only if it doesn't exist */
if (!file_exists($filepath)) {
file_put_contents($filepath, $view);
}
/* Add storage/framework/views as a location from where view files can be picked, used in make function below */
view()->addLocation($file_location);
/* call the usual view helper to render the blade file created above */
return view($filename, $data, $mergeData);
}
}
Usage is exactly same as laravel's view() helper, only that now first parameter is the blade string
$view_string = '#if(strlen($name_html)>6)
<strong>{{ $name_html }}</strong>
#else
{{$name_html}}
#endif';
return inline_view($view_string)->with('name_html', $user->name);
return inline_view($view_string, ['name_html' => $user->name]);

Kohana 3.2. - How can I use hyphens in URIs

Recently I've been doing some research into SEO and how URIs that use hyphens or underscores are treated differently, particularly by Google who view hyphens as separators.
Anyway, eager to adapt my current project to meet this criteria I found that because Kohana uses function names to define pages I was receiving the unexpected '-' warning.
I was wondering whether there was any way to enable the use of URIs in Kohana like:
http://www.mysite.com/controller/function-name
Obviously I could setup a routeHandler for this... but if I was to have user generated content, i.e. news. I'd then have to get all articles from the database, produce the URI, and then do the routing for each one.
Are there any alternative solutions?
Note: This is the same approach as in Laurent's answer, just slightly more OOP-wise. Kohana allows one to very easily overload any system class, so we can use it to save us some typing and also to allow for cleaner updates in the future.
We can plug-in into the request flow in Kohana and fix the dashes in the action part of the URL. To do it we will override Request_Client_Internal system class and it's execute_request() method. There we'll check if request->action has dashes, and if so we'll switch them to underscores to allow php to call our method properly.
Step 1. Open your application/bootstrap.php and add this line:
define('URL_WITH_DASHES_ONLY', TRUE);
You use this constant to quickly disable this feature on some requests, if you need underscores in the url.
Step 2. Create a new php file in: application/classes/request/client/internal.php and paste this code:
<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');
class Request_Client_Internal extends Kohana_Request_Client_Internal {
/**
* We override this method to allow for dashes in the action part of the url
* (See Kohana_Request_Client_Internal::execute_request() for the details)
*
* #param Request $request
* #return Response
*/
public function execute_request(Request $request)
{
// Check the setting for dashes (the one set in bootstrap.php)
if (defined('URL_WITH_DASHES_ONLY') and URL_WITH_DASHES_ONLY == TRUE)
{
// Block URLs with underscore in the action to avoid duplicated content
if (strpos($request->action(), '_') !== false)
{
throw new HTTP_Exception_404('The requested URL :uri was not found on this server.', array(':uri' => $request->uri()));
}
// Modify action part of the request: transform all dashes to underscores
$request->action( strtr($request->action(), '-', '_') );
}
// We are done, let the parent method do the heavy lifting
return parent::execute_request($request);
}
} // end_class Request_Client_Internal
What this does is simply replacing all the dashes in the $request->action with underscores, thus if url was /something/foo-bar, Kohana will now happily route it to our action_foo_bar() method.
In the same time we block all the actions with underscores, to avoid the duplicated content problems.
No way to directly map a hyphenated string to a PHP function so you will have to do routing.
As far as user generated content, you could do something like Stack Exchange does. Each time user content is saved to the database, generated a slug for it (kohana-3-2-how-can-i-use-hyphens-in-uris) and save it along with the other information. Then when you need to link to it, use the unique id and append the slug to the end (ex:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7404646/kohana-3-2-how-can-i-use-hyphens-in-uris) for readability.
You can do this with lambda functions: http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/comment/62581#Comment_62581
You could do something like
Route::set('route', '<controller>/<identifier>', array(
'identifier' => '[a-zA-Z\-]*'
))
->defaults(array(
'controller' => 'Controller',
'action' => 'show',
));
Then receive your content identifier in the function with Request::current()->param('identifier') and parse it manually to find the relating data.
After having tried various solutions, I found that the easiest and most reliable way is to override Kohana_Request_Client_Internal::execute_request. To do so, add a file in your application folder in "application\classes\kohana\request\client\internal.php" then set its content to:
<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');
class Kohana_Request_Client_Internal extends Request_Client {
/**
* #var array
*/
protected $_previous_environment;
/**
* Processes the request, executing the controller action that handles this
* request, determined by the [Route].
*
* 1. Before the controller action is called, the [Controller::before] method
* will be called.
* 2. Next the controller action will be called.
* 3. After the controller action is called, the [Controller::after] method
* will be called.
*
* By default, the output from the controller is captured and returned, and
* no headers are sent.
*
* $request->execute();
*
* #param Request $request
* #return Response
* #throws Kohana_Exception
* #uses [Kohana::$profiling]
* #uses [Profiler]
* #deprecated passing $params to controller methods deprecated since version 3.1
* will be removed in 3.2
*/
public function execute_request(Request $request)
{
// Create the class prefix
$prefix = 'controller_';
// Directory
$directory = $request->directory();
// Controller
$controller = $request->controller();
if ($directory)
{
// Add the directory name to the class prefix
$prefix .= str_replace(array('\\', '/'), '_', trim($directory, '/')).'_';

{
throw new Kohana_Exception('Cannot create instances of abstract :controller',
array(':controller' => $prefix.$controller));

/* MODIFIED */ $action = str_replace('-', '_', $request->action()); /* ORIGINAL: $action = $request->action(); */
$params = $request->param();
// If the action doesn't exist, it's a 404
if ( ! $class->hasMethod('action_'.$action))
{
throw new HTTP_Exception_404('The requested URL :uri was not found on this server.',
array(':uri' => $request->uri()));
}
$method = $class->getMethod('action_'.$action);
$method->invoke($controller);
// Execute the "after action" method
$class->getMethod('after')->invoke($controller);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
// Restore the previous request
if ($previous instanceof Request)
{
Request::$current = $previous;
}
if (isset($benchmark))
{
// Delete the benchmark, it is invalid
Profiler::delete($benchmark);
}
// Re-throw the exception
throw $e;
}
// Restore the previous request
Request::$current = $previous;
if (isset($benchmark))
{
// Stop the benchmark
Profiler::stop($benchmark);
}
// Return the response
return $request->response();
}
} // End Kohana_Request_Client_Internal
Then to add an action with hyphens, for example, "controller/my-action", create an action called "my_action()".
This method will also throw an error if the user tries to access "controller/my_action" (to avoid duplicate content).
I know some developers don't like this method but the advantage of it is that it doesn't rename the action, so if you check the current action it will be consistently called "my-action" everywhere. With the Route or lambda function method, the action will sometime be called "my_action", sometime "my-action" (since both methods rename the action).

Only variable should be passed by referenced in Magento problem

In order to see the path to template in generated html source code for debuggin purposes I used the following code snippet in the
app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Template.php
/**
* Render block
*
* #return string
*/
public function renderView()
{
$this->setScriptPath(Mage::getBaseDir('design'));
$showDebug = true;
if (!$showDebug) {
$html = $this->fetchView($this->getTemplateFile());
}
else {
$template = $this->getTemplateFile();
$tagName = 'template_'.current(explode('.',end(explode('/',$template))));
$html = '<'.$tagName.'><!-- '.$template.' -->';
$html .= $this->fetchView($template);
$html .= '<!--/ '.$template.' --></'.$tagName.'>';
}
return $html;
}
but now in the error logs I see the following:
2010-12-13T21:55:35+00:00 ERR (3): Strict Notice: Only variables should be passed by reference in /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Template.php on line 245
How should this be referenced in order to avoid this error?
Pretty sure your problem is this line
$tagName = 'template_'.current(explode('.',end(explode('/',$template))));
The end and current methods accept an array variable as a paramater, passed by reference. You're passing the result of a function call, which PHP doesn't like. Assuming that snippet is trying to get an extension-less template name, try this instead
$parts = pathinfo($template);
$tagName = $parts['filename'];
Install the Developer Toolbar extension instead. Or turn on Template Hints from the Admin.
