maxnuf/maxnuf-smarty

Zend Framework 2 Module that provides a Smarty rendering strategy and functions and modifiers to render actions from your templates

MaxnufSmarty

MaxnufSmarty is a module that integrates the Smarty templating engine with Zend Framework 2., _(*1)

Installation

1. Add "maxnuf/maxnuf-smarty": "dev-master" to your composer.json file and run php composer.phar update.
2. Add MaxnufSmarty to your config/application.config.php file under the modules key.

Configuration

configuration can be set via the maxnufsmarty configuration key., _(*2)

'maxnufsmarty' => array(
    'config' => array(
        'compile_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../../data/Smarty/smarty_compile/',
        'cache_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../../data/Smarty/smarty_cache/',
    ),
),

MaxnufSmarty integrates with the View Manager service and uses the same resolvers defined within that service. For the template_map it looks for files with suffix defined in config, default is .tpl. This allows you to define the template path stacks and maps within the view manager without having to set them again when installing the module:, _(*3)

'view_manager' => array(
    'template_path_stack'   => array(
        'application'              => __DIR__ . '/../templates',
    ),
    'template_map' => array(
        'layouts/layout'    => __DIR__ . '/../templates/layouts/layout.tpl',
        'index/index'       => __DIR__ . '/../templates/application/index/index.tpl',
