RE: Writing an extension for HTML::Template - how to do it?

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="CGIAPP_embed('some_run_mode', 'param, 'param')">

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


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. 
 
I work with CGI::Application, and I wan't to be able to use (reusable)
objects in my templates.
 
For instance :
 
<tmpl_plugin name="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="plugin(SomeName, param1, param2)">).
 
Thanks.
