I am trying to use TemplateToolkit instead of good ole' variable interpolation and my server is giving me a lot of grief. Here are the errors I am getting: *** 'D:\Inetpub\gic\source\extjs_source.plx' error message at: 2008/09/30 15:27:37 failed to create context: failed to create context: failed to load Template/Stash/XS.pm: Couldn't ...
What's the best method for benchmarking the performance of my various templates when using Template::Toolkit? I want something that will break down how much cpu/system time is spent processing each block or template file, exclusive of the time spent processing other templates within. Devel::DProf, for example, is useless for this, sin...
I have some strings that I am pulling out of a database and I would like to use Template Toolkit on them, but I can't seem to figure out how to use strings as TT input. Any tips? Thanks! -fREW ...
Simple question: How do I do this on one line: my $foo = $bar->{baz}; fizz(\$foo); I've tried \$bar->{baz}, \${$bar->{baz}}, and numerous others. Is this even possible? -fREW Update: Ok, the hashref is coming from DBI and I am passing the scalar ref into template toolkit. I guess now that I look more closely the issue is somethin...
I use Template Toolkit to generate views of pages in Catalyst. To do some basic Ajax, I want to have some output pages not use the TTSite style, but a much more basic structure. Do I put something special into the stash to use a .tt2 file without the header/footer/etc that automatically comes with the rest of my templates? (site gener...
Given a DBIx::Class resultset, for example: my $rs = $c->model("DB::Card")->search({family_name => "Smith"}); the tutorials I've read use the stash to pass an arrayref of rows: $c->stash->{cards} = [$rs->all]; This results in the query getting executed at this point, and the resulting objects stuffed into the stash, so they can be ...
Is there a way to make Perl's Template display warnings for all undefined values that I attempt to use the GET directive on (via [% %]) during Template::process? The default behavior is to ignore and move on. I'd like to warn only in the case of undefined values, if possible, and to log messages to STDERR. ...
I want tpage to redirect the output to a different file. The redirect filter seems almost to do what I want but when I use it I get : redirect error - OUTPUT_PATH is not set Can I set OUTPUT_PATH using tpage? ...
I want to get a random number using template toolkit. It doesn't have to be particularly random. How do I do it? ...
I've been looking through a couple of Catalyst tutorials and they all tend to use Template Toolkit instead of HTML::Template. I've spent a lot of time with HTML::Template and I like it, and while I can see the power of TT, I don't know it, and I feel like I'd be learning two things at once; plus, because it does its processing in-templa...
I want to use a constant in my TT template. In HTML::Mason (my previous templating engine of choice) I could do: <%once> use MyApp::Constants qw(CONSTANT); </%once> How can I do this in Template Toolkit? As mentioned in the title this is a Catalyst app so I was thinking I could put the constants in the stash but that seems a bit awkwa...
I really like Template Toolkit and like how it works with Catalyst, but I would like more 'web advanced' toolkit. It could be just a package of *.tt files for Web objects like these: Selector, Selector_DateTime, Menu, Data_Table... Is there something like that somewhere on the Web? If not, why not? ...
I've considered CGI::Application and CGI::Session. Of the two, CGI::Session seems more promising. CGI::Application model, however, doesn't look like it would work well with Template Toolkit. (Am I wrong to think so?) I would like to evaluate more session management libraries, before comitting to one. Any recommendations? I'm looking for...
How can I render only a specific BLOCK in a template? Suppose I have this BLOCK in text.tt, a Template Toolkit file: [% BLOCK someblock %] some block test blah blah blah [% END %] I want to be able to use process() to handle just that portion: $tt->process("text.tt/someblock", {...}, {...}); Is this the right way to handle this? ...
I am trying to call an outside Perl module in a Template Toolkit .tt file. The module I want to use is Util, and I want to call Util::prettify_date. I was able to include this module using Template Toolkit's plugin interface: I set up the load, new, and error function (as described here: http://template-toolkit.org/docs/modules/Template/...
I'm making a Perl website, and I'll using Template Toolkit (for the view), a whole bunch of objects for DB interaction and business logic (the model), but I'm wondering: should the controllers be OO? I feel like they should, just for consistency, but it also feels it might be a bit redundant when I'm not interacting with the controllers...
I am trying to get the Catalyst framework to work using Template Toolkit, and I'm having issues with Template::Provider. I've isolated the issue to calls to stat. In Template::Provider::_init, calls to stat work correctly, however in other functions calls to stat return []. It seems like Template::Provider is doing some weird caching stu...
Template-Toolkit seems to want to always interpolate undef to the empty string. So a template like this: Result is [% some_object.some_method (1, undef, 2) %] or this: Result is [% ttvar %] [% some_object.some_method (1, ttvar, 2) %] produces a call to Perl like: some_object->some_method (1, '', 2) when what I want is:...
I am using the Perl Template Toolkit to generate C files. I dearly want to be able to include #line directives in my C code so that error messages from the C compiler send me to the right place (the template file) rather than the wrong place (the template output). However, I don't know how to do this. The only result I got from Google w...
Suppose I have the following in my template: [%- pages = [ 'one', 'two', 'three' ] -%] <p>Go to page [%- ... -%]</p> Assuming EVAL_PERL is not set (i.e., I cannot use a [%- PERL -%] block), what do I need to put inside the [%- ... -%] above so as to get the following output? <p>Go to page "a randomly picked element of pages"</p> ...
