I'm totally new to smarty... and it's creeping me out :)
I got the following class in /inc/class/search.php:
Class search
{
function __construct($request) {
global $dbconn;
$request = htmlspecialchars($request);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id LIKE '%{$request}%'";
$res = $dbconn->Query($sql);
$entity = $res->fetchArray();
return $entity;
}
}
I have this in php_head.php:
if (isset($_REQUEST['search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['search'])) {
$is = new search($_REQUEST['search']);
$smarty->assign("searchValues", $is);
}
This code in php_head is designed to be called by ajax later on. But when I run index.php?search=string I get the whole smarty template. Please help.
What you need to do is displaying only some part of output when search is in URL.
So you could modify your code this way:
if (isset($_REQUEST['search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['search'])) {
$is = new search($_REQUEST['search']);
$smarty->assign("searchValues", $is);
$smarty->display('searchvalues.tpl'); // custom base template
exit; // stop execution of later code
}
And you should create searchvalues.tpl template and display here only this part that you want to display and not the whole base template.
You need to clear template that you need for ajax, and if you want to include it in some other template
{include file="path_to_template.tpl"}
And when you need only the result from this template use
echo $smarty->fetch('path_to_template.tpl');
For example you have :
$smarty->display('index.tpl');// this will return index.tpl
And in index.tpl :
<div id="result_ajax">
{include file="ajax_template.tpl"}
</div>
And in ajax.php :
//Do some stuff
echo $smarty->fetch('ajax_template.tpl');

I've been racking my brains over this one but I'll do my best to describe the problem as best as possible. I have a custom function written within template.php, with a bunch of conditionals. When a condition is true, I would like to assign a value to a variable, and then pass that variable intro a node preprocess function that allows that variables to be rendered on a node template.
The function containing the condition:
function _mytheme_date_repeat_string($vars) {
$exdate_pos = strpos($rrule['WKST'], 'EXDATE:');
if($exdate_pos > 0) {
$vars['testvar'] = 'abc123';
}
}
The preprocess function that I would like to render the variable in for node template use:
function mytheme_preprocess_node(&$vars, $hook) {
$vars['new_variable'] = $testvar;
}
Intended usage in node.tpl.php:
<?php print $new_variable; ?>
I'm not great with PHP, but I know enough about programming to know that variable scope might be an issue here. What would be the best way to implement this? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.
If it is not called, your _mytheme_date_repeat_string() function will never be executed. Preprocess functions (ie. any function starting mytheme_preprocess_, are called automatically by Drupal's theme system.
What you need is either move the code of _mytheme_date_repeat_string() in mytheme_preprocess_node() or refactor it and call it.
function _mytheme_date_repeat_string($rrule) {
$exdate_pos = strpos($rrule['WKST'], 'EXDATE:');
if($exdate_pos > 0) {
return 'abc123';
}
else {
return NULL;
}
}
/**
* Prepares variables for node templates.
*/
function mytheme_preprocess_node(&$variables, $hook) {
// Get $rrule from somewhere
$rrule = ... ;
$testvar = _mytheme_date_repeat_string($rrule);
if ($testvar) {
$variables['new_variable'] = $testvar;
}
}
You code does not show where the $rrule calue comes from. I assume you would get it for $variables['node'].
I have created my own little PHP framework for fun, however, I am having trouble passing variables from bootstrap to the views....
if I put an echo,print_r,var_dump my target variable in the bootstrap, the output is displayed in the browser before the tag... yet the target var in bootstrap.php is not available in the view, it is coming up as "" even though at the top of the page it is being output correctly....
Somethings I noticed from similar questions:
- The target variable is not being over written
- The include target path is correct and the file exists
- The file is only being included one time (include_once is only fired once)
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, I am pulling my hair out over here lol...

If you just want to display your site name, I think you can use a constant like that :
define('SITE_NAME', "Jeff's Site");
And then display it in your index.tpl :
<?php echo SITE_NAME; ?>
Or, you can send your variables to the view by extending a little bit your JLR_Core_Views :
class JLR_Core_Views
{
private $data;
public function loadView($templatePath, $data = array())
{
$this->data = $data;
$templatePath = JLR_ROOT . '/webroot/' . $templateName . '.tpl';
if(file_exists($templatePath)) {
// Yes, I know about the vuln here, this is just an example;
ob_start();
include_once $templatePath;
return ob_get_clean();
}
}
function __get($name)
{
return (isset($this->data[$name]))
? $this->data[$name]
: null;
}
}
Then, you can call your template like that :
$view = new JLR_Core_Views();
$view->loadView("index", array("sitename" => "Jeff's Site"));
And here is your index.tpl :
<?php echo $this->siteName; ?>
Below is another example of what you can do.
First, you create this class in order to store all the variables you want :
<?php
class JLR_Repository {
private static $data = array();
public function set($name, $value) {
self::$data[$name] = $value;
}
public function get($name) {
return (isset(self::$data[$name]))
? self::$data[$name]
: null;
}
}
?>
Then, when you want to store something in it :
JLR_Repository::set("sitename", "Jeff's Site");
And in your index.tpl :
<?php echo JLR_Repository::get("sitename"); ?>
try using the 'global' keyword - http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
I have one controller which need to output in one view file and $_GET param.
Controller code is:
public function action_register_final() {
//Detect view file
$block_center = View::factory('pages/v_register_final');
$block_center = $this->request->param('user_id');
//Detect block
$this->template->block_center = array($block_center);
}
But this code is output only $_GET param... if i remove $block_center = $this->request->param('user_id'); view is loading good and output. I know i replace $block_center but how I can to output both values.
Thx.
Watch. You overwrite your variable. I think you need this:
public function action_register_final()
{
// Detect view file
$this->template = View::factory('pages/v_register_final');
$this->template->block_center = array($this->request->param('user_id'));
}
Or.
public function action_register_final()
{
// Detect view file
$this->template = View::factory('pages/v_register_final');
$block_center = this->request->param('user_id');
$this->template->block_center = array($block_center);
}
Not tested. This is what you need? Where is your second array? Try merge.
I have my main (user visible) file which displays posts, and I need to set-up pagination.
It would be easy if I fetch DB in the same file (but I want to avoid that), that is why I created a seperate (user hidden) file which contains class' which are then called from main file(blog.php):
BLOG.php(simplified):
<?php
require 'core.php';
$posts_b = new Posts_b();
$posts_bx = $posts_b->fetchPosts_b();
foreach($posts_hx as $posts_hy){
echo $posts_hy['title'];
}
?>
core.php(simplified);
class Posts_b extends Core {
public function fetchPosts_b(){
$this->query ("SELECT posts_id, title FROM posts");
//return
return $this->rows();
}
}
This works like a charm, but now I need to do the count within query, which works fine, and which gives me a variable $pages=5 (handled inside class posts_b - in file core.php),
core.php(simplified-with variable);
class Posts_b extends Core {
public function fetchPosts_b(){
$this->query ("SELECT posts_id, title FROM posts");
$pages=5;
//return
return $this->rows();
}
}
Now I need a way to return this variable value to blog.php (the way I return rows())
Please help, anyone,
Thank you...
A function can only have a single return value.
There are ways to get around this though. You can make your return value be an array that contains all of the values you want. For example:
return array("pages"=>$pages, "rows"=>$this->rows());
Then in your code
require 'core.php';
$posts_b = new Posts_b();
$posts_bx = $posts_b->fetchPosts_b();
$pages = $posts_bx["pages"];
foreach($posts_hx["rows"] as $posts_hy){
echo $posts_hy['title'];
}
?>
Or you can adjust a input parameter provided it was supplied as a reference
public function fetchPosts_b(&$numRows){
$this->query ("SELECT posts_id, title FROM posts");
//return
return $this->rows();
}
In your code
require 'core.php';
$posts_b = new Posts_b();
$pages = 0;
$posts_bx = $posts_b->fetchPosts_b(&$pages);
foreach($posts_hx["rows"] as $posts_hy){
echo $posts_hy['title'];
}
?>
Or you can opt to figure out your pagination outside of the fetchPosts_b method.
$posts_bx = $posts_b->fetchPosts_b();
$pages = floor(count($posts_bx)/50);
So I'm setting up a system that has a lot of emails, and variable replacement within it, so I'm writing a class to manage some variable replacement for templates stored in the database.
Here's a brief example:
// template is stored in db, so that's how this would get loaded in
$template = "Hello, %customer_name%, thank you for contacting %website_name%";
// The array of replacements is built manually and passed to the class
// with actual values being called from db
$replacements = array('%customer_name%'=>'Bob', '%website_name%'=>'Acme');
$rendered = str_replace(array_keys($replacements), $replacements, $template);
Now, that works well and good for single var replacements, basic stuff. However, there are some places where there should be a for loop, and I'm lost how to implement it.
The idea is there'd be a template like this:
"hello, %customer_name%, thank you for
requesting information on {products}"
Where, {products} would be an array passed to the template, which the is looped over for products requested, with a format like:
Our product %product_name% has a cost
of %product_price%. Learn more at
%product_url%.
So an example rendered version of this would be:
"hello, bob, thank you for requesting
information on:
Our product WidgetA has a cost of $1.
Learn more at example/A
Our product WidgetB has a cost of $2.
Learn more at example/B
Our product WidgetC has a cost of $3.
Learn more at example/C.
What's the best way to accomplish this?
Well, I really dont see the point in a template engine that uses repalcements/regex
PHP Is already a template engine, when you write <?php echo $var?> its just like doing <{$var}> or {$var}
Think of it this way, PHP Already translates <?php echo '<b>hello</b>'?> into <b>hello</b> by its engine, so why make it do everything 2 times over.
The way i would implement a template engine is like so
Firstly create a template class
class Template
{
var $vars = array();
function __set($key,$val)
{
$this->vars[$key] = $val;
}
function __get($key)
{
return isset($this->vars[$key]) ? $this->vars[$key] : false;
}
function output($tpl = false)
{
if($tpl === false)
{
die('No template file selected in Template::output(...)');
}
if(!file_exists(($dir = 'templates/' . $tpl . '.php')))
{
die(sprintf('Tpl file does not exists (%s)',$dir));
}
new TemplateLoader($dir,$this->vars);
return true;
}
}
This is what you use in your login such as index.php, you will set data just like an stdClass just google it if your unsure. and when you run the output command it sends the data and tpl to the next class below.
And then create a standalone class to compile the tpl file within.
class TemplateLoader
{
private $vars = array();
private $_vars = array(); //hold vars set within the tpl file
function __construct($file,$variables)
{
$this->vars = $variables;
//Start the capture;
ob_start();
include $file;
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); //Clean it
//Return here if you wish
echo $contents;
}
function __get($key)
{
return isset($this->vars[$key]) ? $this->vars[$key] : (isset($this->_vars[$key]) ? $this->_vars[$key] : false) : false;
}
function __set($key,$val)
{
$this->_vars[$key] = $val;
return true;
}
function bold($key)
{
return '<strong>' . $this->$key . '</string>';
}
}
The reason we keep this seperate is so it has its own space to run in, you just load your tpl file as an include in your constructor so it only can be loaded once, then when the file is included it has access to all the data and methods within TemplateLoader.
Index.php
<?php
require_once 'includes/Template.php';
require_once 'includes/TemplateLoader.php';
$Template = new Template();
$Template->foo = 'somestring';
$Template->bar = array('some' => 'array');
$Template->zed = new stdClass(); // Showing Objects
$Template->output('index'); // loads templates/index.php
?>
Now here we dont really want to mix html with this page because by seperating the php and the view / templates you making sure all your php has completed because when you send html or use html it stops certain aspects of your script from running.
templates/index.php
header
<h1><?php $this->foo;?></h1>
<ul>
<?php foreach($this->bar as $this->_foo):?>
<li><?php echo $this->_foo; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<p>Testing Objects</p>
<?php $this->sidebar = $this->foo->show_sidebar ? $this->foo->show_sidebar : false;?>
<?php if($this->sidebar):?>
Showing my sidebar.
<?php endif;?>
footer
Now here we can see that were mixing html with php but this is ok because in ehre you should only use basic stuff such as Foreach,For etc. and Variables.
NOTE: IN the TemplateLoader Class you can add a function like..
function bold($key)
{
return '<strong>' . $this->$key . '</string>';
}
This will allow you to increase your actions in your templates so bold,italic,atuoloop,css_secure,stripslashs..
You still have all the normal tools such as stripslashes/htmlentites etc.
Heres a small example of the bold.
$this->bold('foo'); //Returns <strong>somestring</string>
You can add lots of tools into the TempalteLoader class such as inc() to load other tpl files, you can develop a helper system so you can go $this->helpers->jquery->googleSource
If you have any more questions feel free to ask me.

An example of storing in your database.
<?php
if(false != ($data = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM tpl_catch where item_name = \'index\' AND item_save_time > '.time() - 3600 .' LIMIT 1 ORDER BY item_save_time DESC')))
{
if(myslq_num_rows($data) > 0)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_assc($data);
die($row[0]['item_content']);
}else
{
//Compile it with the sample code in first section (index.php)
//Followed by inserting it into the database
then print out the content.
}
}
?>
If you wish to store your tpl files including PHP then that's not a problem, within Template where you passing in the tpl file name just search db instead of the filesystem
$products = array('...');
function parse_products($matches)
{
global $products;
$str = '';
foreach($products as $product) {
$str .= str_replace('%product_name%', $product, $matches[1]); // $matches[1] is whatever is between {products} and {/products}
}
return $str;
}
$str = preg_replace_callback('#\{products}(.*)\{/products}#s', 'parse_products', $str);
The idea is to find string between {products} and {products}, pass it to some function, do whatever you need to do with it, iterating over $products array.
Whatever the function returns replaces whole "{products}[anything here]{/products}".
The input string would look like that:
Requested products: {products}%product_name%{/products}
