Re: [htmltmpl] Question about page anchors (bookmarks) in H::T

[Alan G. <al...@lo...>]

Hello Brad.

I already answered this - didn't you see it?

Your HTML is broken.

you are missing a double quote character.
so you've confused the browser.

THIS:
   <a href="../cgi-bin/foo.pl#top>Top of Page</a>

SHOULD BE:
   <a href="../cgi-bin/foo.pl#top">Top of Page</a>

Alan.

1) Not sure I understand, because in straight HTML

   <a href="#top">Top of Page</a>

works fine. However, I ended up leaving the anchor at the top of the page
(would not work without it) and adding the relative cgi-path to my link, as
you indicated, and it worked fine.

   <a href="../cgi-bin/foo.pl#top>Top of Page</a>

Thanks.

Re: [htmltmpl] Question about page anchors (bookmarks) in H::T

[Carl F. <C.A...@du...>]

Hi Brad,

You don't need to create an explicit "top of page" anchor.
Use the implicit <a href=3D"#">top</a> link and it'll do what you want.

Hello all,

I have placed a simple anchor (bookm at the top and "Top of Page" link at
the bottom of a .tmpl page.

CODE:
top:  <a name=3D"top">&nbsp;</a>
btm:  <a href=3D"#top>Top of Page</a>

In a regular HTML setting, this is no problem*the URL reads:

   http://www.domain.com/page.html#top=20

But in the .TMPL model, it goes to the home page:

   http://www.domain.com/#top=20

I though about including the entire path in my link:

   <a href=3D"page.tmpl#top>Top of Page</a>

which works in some browsers, but others just echo the html coding.


So, what does everyone else do in this case?

Two answers:

 1) That's not "the .TMPL model" that's the model of your code.  In my
    code that would usually look like:

      http://www.domain.com/foo.pl#top

    But that's got nothing to do with HTML::Template

 2) Even so, that should work fine, right?

Re: [htmltmpl] Question about page anchors (bookmarks) in H::T

[Alan G. <al...@lo...>]

Hi Brad,

There is a missing double quote character in the A tags.
thats why they print it out. You've confused the browser.

 <a href="page.tmpl#top>

Alan.

[htmltmpl] Two types of 'ESCAPE' for one item

[Alex K. <ka...@ra...>]

Good day to all.

I'd like to have such a code in my template:
<a href="javascript:func('<TMPL_VAR NAME="email">')">add email</a>

I even already do so :) It seems to me that I need _both_
ESCAPE="HTML" and ESCAPE="JS" here to make it work with real data
because that 'email' param could easily contain something like
q{'John Doe' <jo...@do...>} and break on either apostroph or
less-than whichever way of ESCAPing we use.

Is there an elegant method of dealing with such data? I can certainly
pre-JS-escape in Perl and then use ESCAPE="HTML" in template but that
would look ugly.

Or am I trying to solve a non-existent problem?

If you are in a shared environment, just install Perl in your home =
directory, then set your PATH and PERL5LIB environmental variables to =
this new path.

For what its worth, Perl 5.8.x is so much better at handling =
multi-lingual text (than previous versions) that you will most likely =

Perl to work as expected.

Also, 5.005_03 is a very old version...  probably the system default =

there will be another version of Perl installed on the machine... this =
scenario is often done on FreeBSD machines.

The perl version is 5.005_03, I am not sure about the linux distrubution. I=
 am on a shared 
hosting environment though, so it would not be possible for me to upgrade=
 the system...

Are you perhaps unfortunate enough to be using RedHat 8 or 9 and Perl
5.8.0, which broke the localisation support quite badly? If so,
consider a Perl version upgrade.

[htmltmpl] Problems with Special characters

[Adrian G. <ad...@lo...>]

Hi,

I am using HTML-Template not only HTML, but also for RTF templates. It works=
 great, but I
have problems with variables that contain special characters like =E4 =FC =F6 and=
 the like. 
Instead of an =E4, html template would insert a few cryptic characters which=
 seem completely 
unrelated. For HTML this is of course no problem since I would replace =E4=
 with ä , but 
for RTF documents this would only lead to more cryptic output. 

Do you have any idea how to circumvent this problem?

Thanks,

Re: [htmltmpl] Problem accessing directories through .tmpl files

[Carl F. <C.A...@du...>]

Sharad,

The paths to your image files (and css, js, etc) are relative to the
CGI script. The folder that the .tmpl file is in is irrelevant.
Also filesystem paths are irrelevant: it's the website paths you need
to know.

e.g. if the CGI is at "/cgi-bin/sample/display.pl"
Then the image files must be somewhere inside the "htdocs" folder for
the webserver to be able to serve them.
So if an image is at "/images/pic.jpg",
then the IMG tag source should either be:
src="/images/pic.jpg"
which is an 'absolute' path in relation to the web-root.
or:
src="../../images/pic.jpg"
which is relative to the path of the CGI file.

Remember, any files referenced from a webpage, such as an image or css
file, must be within your htdocs folder.
They aren't magically included by the CGI, they are requested by your
browser, and so must be visible to the webserver.

Hope this helps,
Carl

Hi,

   I have a small Perl Script that calls a .tmpl file A.tmpl. This
.tmpl file has two <TMPL_INCLUDE> statements that include two other

that
is not working either!!!). Those images are not getting displayed.

Any idea why this might be happening?

You need to place the images and CSS files (if you don't supply a path
for them when calling them) either in ROOT or where your main Perl
script is (i'm unsure - try). This is a matter of logic, not
HTML::Template or <tmpl_include> tags. The final generated HTML is the
one you are viewing, not the templates, and all paths should be
relative to it, not the template sources.

That doesn't sound like an H::T problem... the template isn't what's
going to give your browser the graphics files, unless you're doing
something very different from what it looks like.

The template is just presenting the HTML portion to the browser.  The
browser then parses the HTML and requests the graphics files from the
web server (if it chooses to).  This happens in separate HTTP
requests.  If the graphics don't come up, it either means your
template has the wrong URL in it, or you need to look at the
permissions and paths of your web server.

The img src elements are like img src elements anywhere else in HTML -
HTML::Template doesn't treat them specially. Just use them as you would
when composing a static page.

[htmltmpl] Problem accessing directories through .tmpl files

[Kasturirangan R. <kas...@ya...>]

Hi,

   I have a small Perl Script that calls a .tmpl file A.tmpl. This
.tmpl file has two <TMPL_INCLUDE> statements that include two other
files B.tmpl and C.tmpl. 

   Files A,B and C are in the same directory. I am able to display the
three of them as a single HTML file. No problems till here.

   Now, the B.tmpl and C.tmpl files access images stored in yet another
directory (NOTE: Also tested by putting them in same directory and that
is not working either!!!). Those images are not getting displayed.

   Below are the details (Consider 
                       ROOT=/usr/local/apache/htdocs/homepages)

Main Perl Script (present in ROOT/software/cgi-bin/sample/)

print $template->output;

</HTML>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Though the 3 .tmpl files are getting displayed in one page,
none of the '.gif' or '.css' files in top_screen.tmpl and
bottom_screen.tmpl get displayed. Their actual location is
ROOT/software/images/ but I put them in the same directory as the .tmpl
files hoping they would work but they don't.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Sharad

Re: [htmltmpl] Static TMPL_INCLUDE not working

[Keith J. <kja...@ey...>]

To get around that problem, we use a filter that translates virtual
includes into tmpl_includes.  This way the includes work with or without
running them through a perl app.  The filter is:

sub filter {
        $text_ref = shift;
        ${$text_ref} =~ s/<!--\s*#include
virtual="[\/]?(.+?)"\s*-->/<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="$1">/ig;
}

Re: [htmltmpl] Static TMPL_INCLUDE not working

[Kasturirangan R. <kas...@ya...>]

Jason,

     Thanks a lot. Actually, I had tried that first (forgot to include
in my post).

     Anyway, I think I have solved the problem. Being the novice that I
am, I had forgotten that I need to access any .tmpl page through a .pl
script to make use of any <TMPL_> tags.

     I was trying to directly open the .tmpl file on my browser and
that was causing the <TMPL_INCLUDE> to not work.

Thanks,
Sharad

[htmltmpl] Static TMPL_INCLUDE not working

[Kasturirangan R. <kas...@ya...>]

Hi,

   I am totally new to HTML::Template so kindly bear with me. I already
tried seeking out an answer to this question but could not find one.
This seems a trivial question but for a newbie like me, it might as
well be the ultimate conundrum!

   I have 2 static HTML template files called top_screen.tmpl and
bottom_screen.tmpl that I wish to include in every other template file.
I tried a static inclusion to see if I got a hang of the situation but
that simply does not work. I only get to see the "middle" page without
the header and the footer. 

   I am pasting below the 3 files I used

Please note that I have individually tested these screens with a .html
extension and they appeared OK. 

If you want to test these out, you wont get any of the images and I am
sorry about that. I dont wish to include the images and bloat this post
as those are not germane to this discussion.

Any help is appreciated.

Does HTML::Template also need SSI(server-side-include) enabled on
Apache?. Is that why this might not be working?

Thanks,
Sharad

[htmltmpl] Output error (I think a result of HTML::Template::JIT)

[Tim H. <ti...@fe...>]

I've very recently begun using HTML::Template::JIT to eke some
additional speed out of several fairly complex applications I have.
This morning users of a couple of those applications received messages
like the following:

Can't locate object method "output" via package
"tmpl_5508c265bab21c4e12849a4621e9849a"

Any ideas what causes that?

[htmltmpl] Variable syntax suggestion

[Michael L. <mi...@go...>]

Sam, et all:

I would like to write a patch to allow single XHTML / HTML compliant
variable substitutions. Any chance something like this would get
implemented? I have used {%var_name%}, implemented as a filter for quite
some time.

Currently it is impossible to add vars inside HTML tags and validate the
HTML. Also you cannot edit templates in wysiwyg mode without pre/post
processing.

This doesn't really matter as much with the looping and logic constructs =
as
HTML comment style tags work okay here.

Thanks,
Mike

When you say that H::T is not returning any errors are you looking in
