[htmltmpl] Dynamically including templates?

[Todd C. <htm...@ch...>]

I would like to pass a parameter to a template that
would be used to include another template. This
syntax does not seem to be valid:

 <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="<TMPL_VAR NAME=include_param>">

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks.

I use the output from one template to feed into another:

----
my $tmpl1 = HTML::Template->new( . . . );
my $tmpl2 = HTML::Template->new( . . . );
# Bunch of params() calls here
$tmpl2->param( included => $tmpl1->output() );
print $tmpl1->output();
----

With a <TMPL_VAR included> in $tmpl2's file.

Using the method described below, do I have to set
the params in the appropriate teamplates, or can I
do the include first and set all the params in one
template? The reason I ask is that the params all
come from one database table, and I don't want
to worry about which template has which TMPL_VARs.

Thanks.

The main template would get the data that was in the included template when 
you called output() on the included one.

My guess is that it's trying to do the INCLUDE *BEFORE* doing the 
variable substitution.

So if you're stuck on making the included file dynamic, I would 
recommend a two-sweep approach, which I see Timm Murray's post addresses.

Cheers,

Jason

If TMPL_INCLUDE is processed first, does that mean
I can't do this? (Using HTML::Template::Expr)

<TMPL_IF EXPR="include_param = 'x'">
	<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="<TMPL_VAR NAME=x>"
</TMPL_IF>
