Hi,
I'm developping a new module for pn and I am using the new Xanthia module for pn version 0.726-1.
I would like to do this :
-> main fonction :
-> fonction "a" :
-> render a template
-> fonction "b" :
-> render another template
-> render a third template.
So how could I append the result of one template to another one ? Oh and I would like to be able to call the templates from inside pn and not from another template... |

The Example mod is your best friend  (the pncSimpleStatsX also)
I don't fully understand your list with function but I'll go this way... we will be able to correct things.
| Code: |
function yourmod_user_main()
{
// This function renders the main template
//Security
if (!pnSecAuthAction(0, YOURMOD::', '::', ACCESS_OVERVIEW)) {
return pnVarPrepHTMLDisplay(_YOURMODNOAUTH);
}
// New Render Instance
$pnRender =& new pnRender('YOURMOD');
// Template for main
return $pnRender->fetch('YOURMOD_user_main.htm');
}
|
Example of applications :
If you want a top menu that will be on all pages, you can do a simple include in your template :
file : yourmod_user_menu.htm
| Code: |
<br />
<br />
<a href="LINK1">LINK1</a> - <a href="LINK2">LINK2</a>
<br />
<br />
|
Now to include that in your templates :
yourmod_user_main :
| Code: |
<!--[include file="yourmod_user_menu.htm"]-->
|
Voilą for the menu !
Now if you look at function Example_user_view() in the Example mod...
The function fetch all example items :
| Code: |
$items = pnModAPIFunc('Example',
'user',
'getall',
array('startnum' => $startnum,
'numitems' => pnModGetVar('Example',
'itemsperpage')));
|
then, (after one or 2 manipulations), input in a template each of these items and all this will be in an array :
| Code: |
$exampleitems = array();
foreach ($items as $item) {
$pnRender->assign($item);
$exampleitems[] = $pnRender->fetch('example_user_row_read.htm', $item['tid']);
}
|
Now the array var $exampleitems have a template for each item.
Next... the array is sended to another template, the view page :
| Code: |
// ....
$pnRender->assign('items', $exampleitems);
return $pnRender->fetch('example_user_view.htm');
}
|
In the 'example_user_view.htm', there is a var 'items' that contains a template ('example_user_row_read.htm') for each items.
example_user_view.htm :
| Code: |
<!--[include file="example_user_menu.htm"]-->
<br />
<br />
<!--[* Loop through the items and display them *]-->
<!--[foreach item=item from=$items]-->
<!--[$item]-->
<!--[/foreach]-->
|
This loop and most explicitly, this line :
is our example_user_read.htm template that contains one item of the list. The loop make it so we show all items of the list.
See the example mod and the pncSimpleStats (where I wrote LOTS of crappy comments) for other examples like this.
Hope this helps a bit ! At least for a start ! |

Damn... the pncSimpleStats was made using the pnHTML, not the pnRender. the pncSimpleStatsX is made for the pnRender but I didn't wrote the comments in it...
I must not forget to change that. |

Ok, i'll show you what I've done... and maybe you'll be able to help me a bit (no, I'm not too lazy to read what you wrote, I have read it).
so :
it's based on a plugin model. this is a plugin.
| Code: |
function pnsCommentarium_userapi_reviews_short_display($args)
{
extract($args);
if (!pnModAvailable('Reviews')) {
return ;
}
$dbconn = &pnDBGetConn(true);
$pntable = &pnDBGetTables();
$reviews = &$pntable['reviews'];
$reviews_column = &$pntable['reviews_column'];
$sql = "SELECT $reviews_column[title],
$reviews_column[score],
$reviews_column[id]
FROM $reviews
WHERE $reviews_column[reviewer]='" . $uname."'
ORDER BY $reviews_column[id]";
echo $sql;
$results = $dbconn->Execute($sql);
for (; !$results->EOF; $results->MoveNext()) {
list($pn_title, $pn_score, $pn_id) = $results->fields;
$items[] = array( 'pn_title' => $pn_title,
'pn_score' => $pn_score,
'pn_id' => $pn_id);
}
$pnRender->assign('items', $items);
$pnRender->assign('module', 'Reviews');
return $pnRender->fetch('pnsCommentarium_reviews_display_short.htm');
} |
this is the main fonction.
| Code: |
function pnsCommentarium_user_main(){
if (!pnSecAuthAction(0, 'pnsCommentarium::', '::', ACCESS_OVERVIEW)) {
return pnVarPrepHTMLDisplay(_EXAMPLENOAUTH);
}
$pnRender =& new pnRender('pnsCommentarium');
$user = 'omorel';
$view = 1;
$new_window = 0;
$target = 'omorel';
$modules = array (0 => array ( 'module' => 'reviews',
'checked' => 1));
foreach ($modules as $module) {
$execok = true;
pnModAPILoad('pnsCommentarium', 'user');
if ($module['checked'] == 1) {
$result = pnModAPIFunc( 'pnsCommentarium',
'user',
'fileexist',
array('file' => $module['module']));
if ($result == true) {
require_once('modules/pnsCommentarium/plugins/'.pnVarPrepForOs($module['module']).'.php');
}
else {
$execok = false;
}
if ($view == 1) {
if ($execok == true)
$moddisplay[] = pnModAPIFunc( 'pnsCommentarium',
'user',
$module['module'] . '_short_display',
array( 'uname' => $target,
'pnRender' => $pnRender));
}
else {
if ($execok == true)
pnModAPIFunc( 'pnsCommentarium',
'user',
$module['module'] . '_long_display',
array( 'uname' => $target));
}
}
}
return $pnRender->fetch('pnsCommentarium_reviews_short_display.htm');
}
|
but it only displays pnsCommentarium_reviews_short_display.html ... 
Please... help me... [/code] |

Check the file... I think it would be a better start...
Always remember that the GUI (interface, rendering, the display is in the user functions)...
userapi are function that returns a value like a sql result, etc...
Unless the inevitable I guess.
Note also that the pnModAPILoad is done once... I moved it up. |

The file I gave you contains what you ask.
This part :
| Code: |
$items = pnModAPIFunc('pnsCommentarium',
'user',
$module['module'] . '_short_display',
array('uname' => $target));
|
fetches the items (array) you need...
This part :
| Code: |
$pnRender->assign('item', $item);
$pnRender->assign('module', $module['module']); // Not Reviews sorry
$moditems[] = $pnRender->fetch('pnsCommentarium_'.$module['module'].'_display_short.htm);
|
Assign the items to the template of the plugin you want :
this : pnsCommentarium_'.$module['module'].'_display_short.htm
Is your display for the plugin. |
