It'd be nice to be able to specify an altenate template file to be
|
|
|
|
|
used for some pages. For example, I'd like most of my pages to use
|
|
|
|
|
page.tmpl but I want my front page to be formatted in some unique way,
|
|
|
|
|
so I'd like it to use a separate front.tmp template instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what syntax to use for this, (\[[template]] seems to be
|
|
|
|
|
taken for another purpose already). Perhaps something like
|
|
|
|
|
\[[page-template front]] ?).

Joey provided a nice suggestion for implementing this feature, ("I
|
|
|
|
|
would probably add a hook that allowed overriding the default template
|
|
|
|
|
constuction and returning a template object"). I did start looking
|
|
|
|
|
into that, but finally I wimped out and just put the following hack
|
2007-05-30 09:24:31 +02:00
|
|
|
into the `genpage()` function in Render.pm:
|
2007-05-29 20:54:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if ($page eq 'index') {
|
|
|
|
|
$template->param(suppresstitle => 1);
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-05-30 09:24:31 +02:00
|
|
|
That lets me use a `<TMPL_UNLESS SUPPRESSTITLE>` in my template to get
|
2007-05-29 20:54:59 +02:00
|
|
|
the effect I want. I don't think that's anything that upstream should
|
|
|
|
|
pick-up as is, (maybe with an appropriate configuration option, but
|
|
|
|
|
then again allowing for per-page template selection would be more
|
|
|
|
|
powerful anyway). But I'm happy enough now that I probably won't
|
|
|
|
|
pursue implementing this feature further myself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But I'd still happily switch to using this feature if someone were to
|
|
|
|
|
implement it.
