[htmltmpl] Base templates and sub templates

[Rudolph F. <rud...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm new on this list. I've a question on using HTML::Template for a
larger project:
- I will use a base template which defines the basic structure of the site.
- Different parts of the template will have dynamic content (generated
by the scripts).
What 'd like to do is create the base template and then create
seperate subtemplates (one per page). Every sub template only defines
the dynamic parts of the page. This sub template should then inherit
the base template to fill these parts.

What is the recommended approuch and/or best practice for such a setup?

Regards,

Rudolph

Both of those should give you some ideas.

What I did for bailii.org (and various other sites based on that code)
is a very simple approach: every page does a <tmpl_include> of the "top"
and "bottom" templates, which wrap the page-specific content. Using my
HTML::Template::Set module extension, the page template can then pass
variables to the included templates (such as the page's title).

More information if it's wanted.
