eZ template™
The template systems allows for separation of code and
layout by moving the layout part into template files. These
template files are parsed and processed with template variables set
by the PHP code.
The template system in itself is does not do much, it parses template files
according to a rule set, sets up a tree hierarchy and processes the data
using functions and operators. The standard template system comes with only
a few functions and no operators, it is meant for these functions and operators
to be specified by the users of the template system. But for simplicity a few
help classes is available which can be easily enabled.
In keeping with the spirit of being simple the template system does not know how
to get the template files itself. Instead it relies on resource handlers, these
handlers fetches the template files using different kind of transport mechanism.
For simplicity a default resource class is available, eZTemplateFileResource fetches
templates from the filesystem.
Note: When developing templates you should disable the view cache. When this is
enabled, the template engine does not check the modification date of the templates,
thus you will not see any changes. Edit settings/site.ini and set ViewCaching=disabled
in [ContentSettings].
