php and Fast Template

jclaudio · #1 (**permalink**) 12-09-03, 10:51

Hi, I'm working on creating an intranet, and HTML pages in order to consult a postgreSQL database. I naturally chosed php, and I decided to use the Fast Template class to separate the php code and the HTML.

Since It's possible to define Dynamic Blocks, I wonder if It's possible to include in the html a dynamic block into another one

I mean doing something like that in the "page.html":

<body>

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>{MENU TITLE}</td>
<td>title_column1</td>
<td>title_column2 </td>
<td>title_column3</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>{FIELD1}</td>
<td>{FIELD2}</td>
<td>{FIELD3}</td>
<td>{FIELD4}</td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>

having several rows in several menus.

If anybody familiar with the templates could answer me...

I use a templating system that does allow that. I am sure that Fast Template does as well. However, in the template system that I use it would look more like this:

<body>

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>{BLOCK_MENUS.MENU TITLE}</td>
<td>title_column1</td>
<td>title_column2 </td>
<td>title_column3</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>{BLOCK_MENUS.BLOCK_ROWS.FIELD1}</td>
<td>{BLOCK_MENUS.BLOCK_ROWS.FIELD2}</td>
<td>{BLOCK_MENUS.BLOCK_ROWS.FIELD3}</td>
<td>{BLOCK_MENUS.BLOCK_ROWS.FIELD4}</td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>

Hopefully your templating engine will need this type of layout as well. I hope I have helped you and not messed you up.

Let me know if this helps.
