[Cppcms-users] Template name "render()"

[<cn...@gr...>]

Hi!


The compiled program "hello-tmpl" stops working if I change



<% template render() %>



to



<% template output() %>



in file "first.tmpl" under "~/examples/templates/" extracted from cppcms source tarball. I suspect this is because the template system demands that the exact member function



virtual void render(){ ... }



exist in order to be able to write out stuff. If I am right, it would be nice to see this mandatory template name "render()" be documented (preferably in page "Templates: Top Level Blocks (v 1.x)").



Regards,



CN

This is not mandatory name, this is default template
that is rendered when rendering specific view.

Hi! Artyom,


Thank you for pointing me to that documentation!


I am confused. Does the following excerpt indicate that the template name "render()" is mandatory?


"Each skin should implement render() virtual member function, unless it is already implemented in its parent."



Regards,


CN

Re: [Cppcms-users] Template name "render()"

[Artyom <art...@ya...>]

To make it more clear: when you call

    render("view_name",some_content)

What happens that `base_content::render()` is called,
you need to override it in your view (class)
in order to make your view useful.

Of course you can have many templates, that may
be rendered using <% include template_name() %>
but all should begin render().
