[htmltmpl] Including templates where the name is dtermined at run time

[Dan H. <dan...@re...>]

Hi all
 
I wish to include a template within another template. However, the template
name to be included is determined at run time. I've tried:
 
<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME=SUB_CONTENT>
 
but I get "Cannot open included file SUB_CONTENT : file not found"
 
I tried 
 
<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME=<TMPL_VAR NAME=SUB_CONTENT>>
 
but that doesn't parse (as I expected).
 
Is there a way to do this?
 
Dan

Not in the way that you want to do it. That would, in essence 
require H::T to do two passes when parsing which it doesn't do. 
What you would have to do is process the first template (whose 
name is determined at run time) and keep the output in a scalar. 
Then load this scalar into the second, outer template.

Excellent suggestion.. the other way would be to use a filter
(HTML::Template docs for more details...)

Yep, this did the trick. Thanks
