[Solved] [Documentation] Smarty Templates default.master.tpl usage question.

peregrine

Can anyone shed some light? If you know the answer to anyone one of these - please reply.

items like this

{if $User.CountNotifications} 

is this referencing the $Session object, $Sender object, or getting info directly from User table? Can anybody shed light on this?

{if CheckPermission('Garden.Settings.Manage')}

Can I use all functions like this, if not where are the available functions read from?

{if !$User.SignedIn}

once again - what is the $User referencing exactly?

{event name="BeforeSignInLink"}
how are these references used and integrated into app.
where would call this event and what would be the procedure?

if I wanted to pick up info from a particular table or a unique object how would the call be made in Smarty or would you have to write a function?

solved @underdog.

question 1 somewhat - it is an associative array of 4 items retrieved through the ether - if you find out where the array is created.

to print values for $User array.

{foreach key=key item=item from=$User}

{$key} - {$item}

{/foreach}

results

Name - Peregrine

CountNotifications - 0

CountUnreadConversations - 1

SignedIn - 1

so you can use

{$User.Name}
{$User.CountNotifications}
{$User.CountUnreadConversations}
{$User.SignedIn}

How to find all Smarty variables known to vanilla-kind.

go to 
/library/vendors/Smarty-2.6.25/libs/Smarty.class.php

on line   105

change
var $debugging       =  false;

to true
var $debugging       =  true;


click on the the vanilla pages and it will open a popup if you haven't blocked popups.  Every variable on each page that you click on will be shown.


e.g.

{$Discussions}  Array (10)
0 => Array (48)
  Type => null
  FirstUserID => "5"
  FirstDate => "2012-06-15 20:54:00"
  CountBookmarks => null
  Body => "Peregrine was here"
  Format => "Markdown"
  LastDate => "2012-06-15 20:54:00"
  LastUserID => null
  DiscussionID => "24"
  ForeignID => null
  CategoryID => "1"
  InsertUserID => "5"
  UpdateUserID => "5"
  LastCommentID => null
  Name => "this is my discussion"
  Tags => ""
  CountComments => "1"
  CountViews => "1"
  Closed => "0"
  Announce => "0"
  Sink => "0"
  DateInserted => "2012-06-15 20:54:00"
  DateUpdated => "2012-06-15 20:54:00"
  InsertIPAddress => "127.0.0.1"
  UpdateIPAddress => "127.0.0.1"
  DateLastComment => "2012-06-15 20:54:00"
  LastCommentUserID => null
  Score => null
  Attributes => null
  RegardingID => null
  WatchUserID => "5"
  DateLastViewed => "2012-06-15 20:54:01"
  Dismissed => "0"
  Bookmarked => "0"
  CountCommentWatch => "1"
  Url => "http://localhost/vanilla/discussion/2..."
  CountUnreadComments => 0
  FirstName => "peregrine"
  FirstEmail => "peregrine@none.com"
  FirstPhoto => "userpics/418/5XO83IOLVSY1.jpg"
  FirstGender => "m"
  LastName => null
  LastEmail => null
  LastPhoto => null
  LastGender => null
  Category => "General"
  PermissionCategoryID => "-1"
  CategoryUrlCode => "general"

--------
then you can insert codes you found and want to use in your template like so:

{$Discussions[0].FirstPhoto}    


here -{$User|@count}


{$path}

{foreach key=key item=item from=$Discussion}
<br>discussion {$key} - {$item}</br>
{/foreach}

{foreach key=key item=item from=$Discussions[0]}
<br>{$key} - {$item}</br>
{/foreach}

category - {$Category.Name}
{$Breadcrumbs.DateInserted}
discussion count {$CountDiscussions}
{foreach key=key item=item from=$User}
<br>{$key} - {$item}</br>
