Templates in Templates

Contributors Thanked: 10 times	This question is for plugins. Is there a way to have a main template and insert a part in there that comes from an other template.. MAIN some main stuff here {OUTPUT_FROM_ROWS_TEMPLATE} MAIN So the ROWS part of the main.tpl is build in a separate template (main.rows.tpl) Is this possible, and if so, what is the best way to do this ? So maybe it is just get the HTML code from a processed Template, and insert that into another template with a TAG??? Added 1 hour 8 minutes later: I found it when digging into the code :): $rowtemplate->text(); I can use this for AJAX calls to change the ROWS data based on some criterea.. Like data filters.. ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

This question is for plugins.

Is there a way to have a main template and insert a part in there that comes from an
other template..

MAIN
some main stuff here
{OUTPUT_FROM_ROWS_TEMPLATE}
MAIN

So the ROWS part of the main.tpl is build in a separate template (main.rows.tpl)
Is this possible, and if so, what is the best way to do this ?

So maybe it is just get the HTML code from a processed Template, and insert that
into another template with a TAG???

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Includes have been in XTemplate since Seditio: <!-- BEGIN: MAIN --> ... <!-- BEGIN: ROW --> {FILE main.rows.tpl} <!-- END: ROW --> ... <!-- END: MAIN --> It works like include in C, so it just puts the contents of main.rows.tpl in place of the FILE directive and then continues parsing the template. May the Source be with you!
