CDNWiki - View Source: Help/TemplatePlugin

!! Synopsis

Template = Parametrized blocks.

Include text from a wiki page and replace certain placeholders by parameters.
Similiar to CreatePage with the template argument, but at run-time.
Similiar to the mediawiki templates but not with the "|" parameter seperator.

!!  Usage
<verbatim>
  <?plugin Template page=Templates/Footer?>
  <?plugin Template page=Templates/Film vars="title=SomeFilm&year=1999" ?>
  {{Templates/Film|title=SomeFilm|year=1999}}
</verbatim>

!! Plugin Arguments
Argument|
  Default Value|
    Description

page|
  (empty)|
    pagename to be included as template

vars|
  (empty)|
    optional parameters to be expanded inside the template

! Parameter expansion:
  vars="var1=value1&var2=value2"

We only support named parameters, not numbered ones as in mediawiki, and
the placeholder is %%var%% and not {{~{var~}}} as in mediawiki.

The following predefined variables are automatically expanded if existing:
<verbatim>
  pagename
  mtime     - last modified date + time
  ctime     - creation date + time
  author    - last author
  owner
  creator   - first author
  SERVER_URL, DATA_PATH, SCRIPT_NAME, PHPWIKI_BASE_URL and BASE_URL
</verbatim>

<noinclude> .. </noinclude> is stripped

! In work:
* ENABLE_MARKUP_TEMPLATE = true: (lib/InlineParser.php)
  Support a mediawiki-style syntax extension which maps
<verbatim>
    {{TemplateFilm|title=Some Good Film|year=1999}}
</verbatim>
  to
<verbatim>
    <?plugin Template page=TemplateFilm vars="title=Some Good Film&year=1999" ?>
</verbatim>

!! Examples

<verbatim>
  <?plugin Template page=TemplateExample vars="title=TestTitle" ?>
</verbatim>

Standard syntax:
  <?plugin Template page=TemplateExample vars="title=TestTitle" ?>

Shorter syntax:
  {{TemplateExample|title=TestTitle}}
