RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: Is this plugin useful?

It's the installation script no need to use includes and it can have some logic... Anyway since it's a very particular usage maybe we don't need it. -----Original Message----- From: Monte Ohrt [mailto:monte@ispi.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 1:20 PM To: luis Cc: 'Joscha Feth'; Smarty Dev Subject: RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: Is this plugin useful? You are trying to use smarty for your business logic and presentation, that will usually get you a tangled mess and defeat the purpose of using templates. The logic in the templates should be for presentation only. php psuedo-code: if( no database ) { ... business logic ... $smarty->assign(...); $smarty->display('no_db_form.tpl'); } else { if( no admin account ) { ... business logic ... $smarty->assign(...); $smarty->display('admin_acct_form.tpl'); } else { ... } } On Wed, 2003-04-09 at 10:36, luis wrote: > Yap bu think about a install script > > {if nodatabase} > form asking for host... etc > {else} > {if no admin account} > form asking for admin account > {else} > {if upgrading} > .... > {else} > .... > {/if} > {/if} > {/if} > > I guess is more readable the form: > > {if nodatabase} > blah > {stop} > {/if} > > {if no admin acc} > blah > {stop} > {/if} > > {if upgrading} > {stop} > {/if} > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Joscha Feth [mailto:joscha@feth.com] > Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 11:22 AM > To: smarty-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: Is this plugin useful? > > Luis wrote: > Hi, > > I wonder if a plugin to stop displaying a template may added to the > > smarty distro, > > Something like {stop [msg='foo']} that will be compiled into a > > die('foo'); statement. > > In some situations templates will be more readable if you can stop > > displaying rather than using a bunch of {if}s > > I do not think it is useful, because some HTML Tags may not be closed > and > always just sending a </body></html> is no good coding style, but > whatever, > I created such a plugin especially (really!) for you: > http://dev.feth.com/PHP/Smarty/function.die.phps > > greets, > Joscha > > > > -- > Smarty Development Mailing List (http://smarty.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- Monte Ohrt <monte@ispi.net>
