I have two templates that are almost identical. It's the mail template, but it should be in two different places. So they are extending the two different templates, but this and the section names are the only differences.
Here's the example:
#extends('layout.client')
//sections etc
#section('content')
//content here
#endsection
//other sections etc
And here's the second template:
#extends('layout.company')
//sections etc
#section('contentinner')
//content here
#endsection
//other sections etc
The other sections are mostly imported libraries to make the content work.
How should I approach this to not repeat the code?
Create another template and include in your section
<div class="col-md-3">
#include('layouts.your_template')
</div>
I solved a similar issue using components.
I found that it is good to have one master layout, but if you have parts of the code you need to include in many pages, it is better to use components. This provides an excellent example of the use of components.
Put your template into components.yourtemplate.blade.php
then in both layout.client and layout.company put
#component('components.yourtemplate')
#endcomponent
where you want your template code to be included. You can include the same component in many views.

Created a template folder inside views folder and in header.blade.php and added the following code
<ul id="sidebar">
#stack('sidebar')
</ul>
And created another category.blade.php inside views folder and added the following code
#include('template/header')
#push('sidebar')
<li>Sidebar first</li>
#endpush
A #stack can only be defined in an outer layout. So if you want to use #push, you have to use #extends('template.header') instead of #include('template.header').
In your case I don't think it is okay to use #extends you probably use an other layout file.
I searched for it in the Laravel issues and I found this Thread. Maybe this can clarify some things for you.
This can be particularly useful for specifying any JavaScript libraries required by your child views
better to use #include insted #push and #stack
I have a boilerplate that has various includes, one being:
#include('nav')
I would like to use the same boilerplate for the CMS of my site, but use a different nav.
What would be the best way of getting the boilerplate to include a different nav when the user is using the CMS:
#include('nav-cms')
This is more of an architectural question, and the answer is that you can probably do this many, many ways. However, the answers can be Laravel specific, so here goes:
One method would be to change the include statement to be:
#include($navView)
And then either in your controller, or using view composer, you should set that variable appropriately.
Alternatively, you can do it using sections:
// layout.blade.php
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
#section('nav')
#include('nav')
#show
#yield('content')
</body>
</html>
// some-frontend-view.blade.php
#extends('layout')
#section('content')
Content here
#stop
// some-cms-view.blade.php
#extends('layout')
#section('nav')
#include('nav-cms')
#overwrite
#section('content')
CMS content here
#stop
That way it assumes frontend nav, and then you override it in the CMS for the CMS nav. Alternatively, instead of defaulting to 'nav' in the layout, you could use #yield, and specify it in the some-frontend-view.blade.php file as in the some-cms-view.blade.php file.
I have problem with including Joomla views. I have many views in my extension and I want to include another one in my Dialog.
How can I do it?
In my first view I have this code:
<div id="modalDostawca" title="Dostawcy">
<div id="wewM">
//in here i want to include view data/tmpl/default.php
</div>
</div>
What kind of extension is your extension? A module? A component?
If it's a component, what you are trying to include is a template for a view, not a view! (the view is the one with view.html.php). Create a view + template for what you are trying to see. I don't think Joomla! can call multiple views at the same time. If you can reuse code inside models (if this is your concern).
You can also include files the normal way, with include(...).
Background Smarty is a templating engine that separates the presentation layer from the logic layer of web applications. It is well-suited for the Model-View-Control approach to developing web applications. The View can be represented by Smarty templates, which contain only HTML and Smarty tags. The Control can be implemented by PHP files that serve the appropriate views based on the logic contained within them via PHP code. The View is instantiated by displaying the templates via the display() command. Alternatively, a template can be read in as a variable without displaying it via the fetch() command. The file name of the template is the argument to both these commands.
Issue The fetch() command can read an entire template. In order to read parts/sub-parts of a template, each of these parts would normally needed to be stored in a separate file with its own name that can be the argument to the command. This creates needless files.
Question Is it possible to fetch only parts of a Smarty template by somehow marking sections of the template?
Case example Below I present a sample template file with Smarty and HTML tags, as well as the corresponding controller file with PHP code.
Template file (index.tpl)
<html>
<body>
<div id="sec1">
First section
</div>
<div id="sec2">
Second section
</div>
</body>
</html>
Controller file (index.php)
<?php
$smarty = new Smarty;
$template = $smarty->fetch("index.tpl");
?>
In the example above, the $template variable would contain the full output from the template page. Below is a dump of its contents from the example.
$template => string(255)
"<html><body>
<div id="sec1">First section</div>
<div id="sec2">Second section</div>
</body></html>"
However, suppose I wish to read in the code from each of the DIV containers separately, and store them into separate variables, how could I achieve this? For instance, suppose I have a magical function called fetch_sub(). Here's my expectations of using it.
<?php
$smarty = new Smarty;
$div1 = $smarty->fetch_sub("index.tpl", "sec1");
$div2 = $smarty->fetch_sub("index.tpl", "sec2");
?>
Then $div1, etc would contain only the relevant sub-part, instead of the whole template.
Other info I am not a beginner with Smarty and have a fairly good handle on basic concepts, as well as some of Smarty's advanced concepts. Following is my attempts so far at conceptualizing the problem and getting to a solution. My initial rough idea is to demarcate the template into sections using {capture}, and then somehow reference each of these sections. I present an outline example of the idea below.
{capture name=sec1}
<div id="sec1">
First section
</div>
{/capture}
. . .
Smarty (as of Smarty 3.1) has no built-in feature to allow you achieving your goal. I had proposed something similar in 2011, but we haven't come around to implementing it.
Maybe you can have the generated HTML parsed to DOM and help yourself with xpath, or something like that?
You can try this:
sec1.tpl
<div id="sec1">First section</div>
sec2.tpl
<div id="sec2">Second section</div>
index.tpl
<html><body>
{include file="sec1.tpl"}
{include file="sec2.tpl"}
</body></html>
And then You can fetch parts by invoking:
$smarty = new Smarty;
$div1 = $smarty->fetch("sec1.tpl");
$div2 = $smarty->fetch("sec2.tpl");
I have a basic cms that loads content into pages that have mustache tags to indicate where in the html code those contents will appear.
The contents are specified in a widget model which indicate which type of content is to be displayed, so for example, freetext with id. or another model and id. each one of those models will be displayed differently based on the model they are based on.
I can imagine this becoming and bit unwieldy, is there a way to have a separate folder to put those widgets in so that it doesn't clutter my main code.
Something like apotomo does on rails would be good, but for codeigniter.
A widget model? That is not so nice. Have you tried looking at PyroCMS?
https://github.com/pyrocms/pyrocms/blob/master/system/pyrocms/modules/widgets/libraries/Widgets.php
From the sound of it you may be more interested in our Plugins library (sounds like the same thing with a different name). It is set up with a MY_Parser and runs on top of Dan Horrigan's Simpletags implementation.
Either way this has all be done plenty. If you want some more specific tailored advice you might have to demo some of your code.
Create a folder inside application/views called widgets. Put your widgets inside that folder and create a separate file for each widget (d0h).
Next, you have 2 options (at least that i know of):
a.) Load the widgets into variables inside the controller, then pass them to the main/general view
$data['widget_twitter_feed'] = $this->load->view('widgets/twitter', '', false);
$data['widget_something'] = $this->load->view('widgets/something', '', false);
$this->load->view('my_main_view', $data);
b.) Load the widgets inside the main/general view itself
<html>
...
<div id="sidebar">
<?php $this->load->view('widgets/twitter'); ?>
</div>
...
<div id="footer">
<?php $this->load->view('widgets/something'); ?>
</div>
...
</html>
