Re: automatic Template component wrapper

When you define a template object, you have a large number of settings you can use.

What I suggest is that you declare the variables that you want to pass to the component. Then declare a POST_PROCESS which will process this template at the end of each page.

my $template = Template->new({
    VARIABLES => {
	component => {
            name => 'script_name',
            time => time(),
        }
    },
    POST_PROCESS => 'component_info.tt'
});

Now you will not have to declare a WRAPPER after each web page. It will be done for you.

It's not the web pages, or whole templates I'm interested in, it's the components, ie. the bits included. For example: `thing.tt: I am thing.` [download] `thang.tt: I am thang.` [download] `fred.tt: % INCLUDE thing.tt % % INCLUDE thang.tt %` [download] I ultimately want this from processing fred `<! -- begin fred.tt --> <! -- begin thing.tt --> I am thing. <! -- end thing.tt --> <! -- begin thang.tt --> I am thang. <! -- end thang.tt --> <! -- end fred.tt -->` [download] In this way, my designer can see which template components have been used to create a specific page `component` is a special variable which is automatically set for each included component. The reason I said I had to pass it through is that it is set to the wrapper name if I don't pass it through from the component I want the information for. -- Steve Marvell	[reply] [d/l] [select]

thing.tt:

I am thing.
[download]

thang.tt:

I am thang.
[download]

fred.tt:

% INCLUDE thing.tt %

% INCLUDE thang.tt %
[download]

I ultimately want this from processing fred

<! -- begin fred.tt -->
<! -- begin thing.tt -->
I am thing.
<! -- end thing.tt -->
<! -- begin thang.tt -->
I am thang.
<! -- end thang.tt -->
<! -- end fred.tt -->
[download]

In this way, my designer can see which template components have been used to create a specific page

component is a special variable which is automatically set for each included component. The reason I said I had to pass it through is that it is set to the wrapper name if I don't pass it through from the component I want the information for.
