It is comprised entirely of free form HTML

If you are feeling extra bold you can use the templating engine to set variables to be replaced at runtime such as {variable} or even {variable2}, or maybe even just look through some data:

{loop} {value1} is the first value.
{value2} is the second value.
{value3} is the third value.
{/loop} {ALT}No Loop{/ALT} {footer}

This is a default view

The Tempus-Project template-processor works with the backend to render html for the end user. This process has several steps and components that can get pretty complex. For the moment let's just review a few that can be used to generate web pages.

Views

Views are the most basic interaction between the front-end and back-end. Inside of a controler, you can call a view in two ways:

1. Normal - Views::view



2. Inline - Views::simpleView






Components


You can think of components as a sort of front-end variable that can be filled in by the back-end before being send to the end-user. You can include components in all template parsing with a simple command:



Adding this to a controler will give access to that component's value in the rendering engine. For example:




Pagination

PAGINATION
        if (Pagination::totalPages() <= 1) {
            Components::set('PAGINATION', '');
        } else {
            Components::set('PAGINATION', Views::simpleView('nav.pagination', $pageData));
        }


        

Navigation



Filters


In some cases, you may want to hide or show text on a page conditionally. For example, you may have administrator controls on a commonly used page. Obviously you would like to hide those controls from regular users; even if you have safeguards to prevent them from performing any restricted actions.


This is where filters come in. They do exactly that, conditionally hide or show part of a page based on back-end logic. The admin example is so common, its already built in. If a user has the isAdmin permission on thier group, they will be able to see anything within the "ADMIN" tag:


    Filters::add('member', '#{MEMBER}(.*?){/MEMBER}#is', (self::$isMember ? '$1' : ''), true);
    Filters::add('mod', '#{MOD}(.*?){/MOD}#is', (self::$isMod ? '$1' : ''), true);
    Filters::add('admin', '#{ADMIN}(.*?){/ADMIN}#is', (self::$isAdmin ? '$1' : ''), true);









            '#\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]#is'               => '$1',
            '#\[p\](.*?)\[/p\]#is'               => '
$1
',
            '#\[i\](.*?)\[/i\]#is'               => '$1',
            '#\[u\](.*?)\[/u\]#is'               => '$1',
            '#\[s\](.*?)\[/s\]#is'               => '$1',
            '#\[code\](.*?)\[/code\]#is'         => '$1',
            '#\[color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/color\]#is' => "$2",
            '#\[img\](.*?)\[/img\]#is'           => "",
            '#\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]#is'     => "$2",
            '#\[quote=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/quote\]#is' => "
$2
",
            '#\(c\)#is'                          => '✔',
            '#\(x\)#is'                          => '✖',
            '#\(!\)#is'                          => '❕',
            '#\(\?\)#is'                         => '❔',
            '#\[list\](.*?)\[/list\]#is'         => '',
            '#\(\.\)(.*)$#m'                     => '
  • $1
    • ',
            '/(^|\s)@(\w*[a-zA-Z_]+\w*)/'        => ' @\2',
            '/(^|\s)#(\w*[a-zA-Z_]+\w*)/'        => ' #\2',
            '#/\*.*?\*/#s'                       => null,
            '#(? null,
            "#{CHECKED:(.*?)=(.*?)}#s"           => null,




















    Issues
    

    One of the pre-existing filters happens to be Issues. In the controller for this file, you should see a block that includes several examples of Issues. These issues are automatically added as individual components and hidden with the issues filter.
    

        Issues::add( 'error', [ 'This is an error with multiple parts.' => [ 'Error 1', 'Error 2' ] ] );
    Issues::add( 'error', 'This is a single error.' );
    Issues::add( 'success', [ 'This is a success with multiple parts.' => [ 'Success 1', 'Success 2' ] ] );
    Issues::add( 'success', 'This is a single success.' );
    Issues::add( 'notice', 'This is a single notice.' );
    Issues::add( 'info', 'This is a single info.' );
    Filters::add('issues', '#{ISSUES}(.*?){/ISSUES}#is', (Issues::hasIssues() ? '$1' : ''), true);
    Components::set( 'NOTICE', $test );
    Components::set( 'SUCCESS', $test );
    Components::set( 'ERROR', $test );
    Components::set( 'INFO', $test );
