Re: Real world usage of IT [template] class?

Hmmm... so should I take it that nobody really uses PEAR's IT class? Too bad, it looks like it could be useful... :( Anyway, if anyone does use it, maybe you can help me out with this one. What is the proper way to include a file into an existing template which has its own placeholders? I think I'm supposed to use the get_file() method, but I can never seem to parse the placeholders in the file that's included. $tpl = new IntegratedTemplate("./"); $tpl->loadTemplatefile("template.tmpl", false, false); // parse DMZ helper on right side of the page $dmz_content = $tpl->getFile("template2.tmpl"); $tpl->setVariable("DMZ", $dmz_content); $tpl->setCurrentBlock("dmz"); $tpl->setVariable("DMZ_LIST", "-&nbsp;<a href=\"test.php\">Name</a> (#)<br>"); $tpl->parseCurrentBlock("dmz"); $tpl->setCurrentBlock("main_body"); $tpl->setVariable("USERNAME", "Derek Fong"); $tpl->setCurrentBlock("main_body"); ...
