Help using fastTemplates

[Anon]

Hi!

I'm trying to use FastTemplates, but I'm having trouble when creating an
instance of FastTemplate. I have in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/prueba/mytemplate.tpl (the html file),
fasttemplate.php (the class) and test.php (where I call new
fasttemplate, define, assign, etc...). When I do:

$tpl= new fastTemplate("/usr/local/apache/htdocs/prueba/");

I get this error:
ERROR: get_template() failure: [/usr/local/apache/htdocs/prueba/]

If I do
$tpl= new fastTemplate("prueba/");

I get this:
ERROR: Specified ROOT dir [prueba/] is not a directory
ERROR: Cannot open template. Root not valid.

and prueba it IS a directory. What I'm doing wrong?

And if I do this:
$tpl= new fastTemplate(".");
I get this:
ERROR: get_template() failure: [./]

Here is a snippet of the code: (it's very simple, I'm until trying to
learn how to use it)
<?
include ("fasttemplates.php");

$tpl= new fastTemplate("prueba/");

$tpl->define(array("start => mytemplate.tpl"));
$tpl->assign(array("TITLE => My titulo","CONTENT => Mi contenido!!!!"));

$tpl->parse(start, array( "start"));
$tpl->FastPrint();
?>

Thanks for your help.

Check if your the username under which the scripts are running have permission to read from the directory you are pointing to.

Also, you might want to try:

$tpl= new fastTemplate("/usr/local/apache/htdocs/prueba");

(i.e. w/o the last slash, although I do not think that should be a problem)

Also the other lines you are using are not correct (your arrays are messed up), try the following:

<?
include ("fasttemplates.php");

$tpl= new fastTemplate("/usr/local/apache/htdocs/prueba");

$tpl->define(array("start" => "mytemplate.tpl"));

$tpl->assign(array("TITLE" => "Mi titulo", "CONTENT" => "Mi contenido!!!!"));

$tpl->parse(MAIN, array( "start"));
$tpl->FastPrint(MAIN);
?>

I usually do the final parsing to a var not in the templates so the namespace is clean.

Good luck

This is my code ==
include "class.FastTemplate.php";

$tpl = new FastTemplate("/usr/local/httpd/htd ocs/danny/templates");
$tpl->define(array("foo => foo.tpl","bar => bar.tpl"));

$tpl->assign(NAME,"me");
$tpl->assign(PAGETITLE,"Welcome!");

$tpl->parse(PAGECONTENT,"foo");
$tpl->parse(MAIN,"bar");

$tpl->FastPrint(MAIN);

but PHP says ....
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: new fasttemplate() in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/danny/testtemplate.php on line 5
any help ....
i have given full permissions on all my directories ...
thanks ...

Hello,

i have the same problem. I am using the example which comes with the fasttemplate class.

include("class.FastTemplate.php3");
$tpl = new FastTemplate('./templates/');

System: Win98, apache, php3

error:
ERROR: Specified ROOT dir [./templates/] is not a directory <BR>
ERROR: Cannot open template. Root not valid. <BR>

As i am using a win system, there should be no problem with permisssions.

Trying it without "/" at the end does not solve the problem.
I also tried $tpl = new FastTemplate('C:/apache/htdocs/fast/templates/');
with and without the ending slash.

What could be the prob ?

Thanks.

Hai again,

i solved the "problem".

As my testing platform is a Win32-System:
i have to change one setting in the class.FastTemplate.php3.

Here it is:
var $WIN32=true;// Set to true if this is a WIN32 server

Of course $WIN32 was set to false !!.

Yes , its so easy if one is able to read ;-)))

Bye,
Clemens
