NAME

OpenGuides::Template - Do Template Toolkit related stuff for OpenGuides applications.

DESCRIPTION

Does all the Template Toolkit stuff for OpenGuides. Distributed and installed as part of the OpenGuides project, not intended for independent installation. This documentation is probably only useful to OpenGuides developers.

SYNOPSIS

use Config::Tiny;
use OpenGuides::Utils;
use OpenGuides::Template;

my $config = Config::Tiny->read('wiki.conf');
my $wiki = OpenGuides::Utils->make_wiki_object( config => $config );

print OpenGuides::Template->output( wiki     => $wiki,
                                    config   => $config,
                                    template => "node.tt",
                                    vars     => { foo => "bar" }
);

METHODS

output

print OpenGuides::Template->output( wiki         => $wiki,
                                    config       => $config,
                                    template     => "node.tt",
                                    content_type => "text/html",
                                    cookies      => $cookie,
                                    vars         => { foo => "bar" }
);

Returns everything you need to send to STDOUT, including the Content-Type: header. Croaks unless template is supplied.

Content-Type: defaults to text/html and is omitted if the content_type arg is explicitly set to the blank string.

extract_metadata_vars

  my %node_data = $wiki->retrieve_node( "Home Page" );

  my %metadata_vars = OpenGuides::Template->extract_metadata_vars(
                                        wiki     => $wiki,
                                        config   => $config,
                                        metadata => $node_data{metadata} );

  # -- or --

  my %metadata_vars = OpenGuides::Template->extract_metadata_vars(
                                        wiki     => $wiki,
                                        config   => $config,
					cgi_obj  => $q );

  # -- then --

  print OpenGuides::Template->output( wiki     => $wiki,
                                      config   => $config,
                                      template => "node.tt",
                                      vars     => { foo => "bar",
                                                    %metadata_vars }
				     );

Picks out things like categories, locales, phone number etc from EITHER the metadata hash returned by CGI::Wiki OR the query parameters in a CGI object, and packages them nicely for passing to templates or storing in CGI::Wiki datastore. If you supply both metadata and cgi_obj then metadata will take precedence, but don't do that.
