Re: [htmltmpl] Writing an extension for HTML::Template - how to do it?

MessageNo need to send emails to both me and list (twice) I guess ?


Anyway - I already looked into that. It's what =
CGI::Application::Framework uses.
But it's not what I need/want.

That way I can only call some run_mode (method) from current module (one =
that is outputing
the template in the first place).  I would need to manualy add plugins =
to each of the module
(or just in base module).=20


On the other hand, I could write an method in my base module (inherited =
by others). And implement
that logic inside of him (require SomeModule, call some_run_mode in it =
...).


But all that would be similar like this:

<TMPL_VAR =
NAME=3D"CGIAPP_EMBED('run_plugin','some_plugin','param1','param')">

I was hopping to avoid that ... and make it shorter/simpler as:

<TMPL_PLUGIN NAME=3D"SomeName(param1, param2)">

  Hi

  Since you're using CGI::App, you should have a look at =
CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate - which will allow you to call a =
run mode with the H::T

   <TMPL_VAR NAME=3D"CGIAPP_embed('some_run_mode', 'param, 'param')">

    Hello folks!

    Don't know if it's just me or documentation of =
HTML::Template::Extension isn't good. Eitherway, I can't figure out how =
to write an extenstion for it, that I need for my project.=20

    I work with CGI::Application, and I wan't to be able to use =
(reusable) objects in my templates.

    For instance :

    <tmpl_plugin name=3D"SomeName(param1, param2)">

    My filter would find SomeName module (Prefix such as =
MyApp::Plugin::SomeName) make an instance of it and call method - say =
named run. And place returned value instead of this tag.

    Think of it as another template file that is included but it has =
some processing ... That way I can create one module/plugin and use it =
througth whole site/application.


    If I don't figure this out soon - I will have to give a shot to =
HTML::Template::Expr and register a function with it (<tmpl_var =
name=3D"plugin(SomeName, param1, param2)">).

    Thanks.
