Template operators

Overview of available template operators in the kernel

URL operators

The URL operators takes a URL and modifies it in some way, they allow for easy change of sitedesigns. The syntax of all the operators are similar with only their name varying. The nVH setup is prepended to the URL if one is used to allow seamless VH/nVH setups. They take one parameter, which defaults to double, which specifies the quotes which are wrapped around the url.

The quote values are:

• double - Uses double (") quotes
• single - Uses single (') quotes
• no - Uses no quotes

These operators will also be available as template functions which means that they can wrap around multiple template elements, either that or a concat operator will be created.

Using it as a function.

{ezdesign}stylesheets/{$style_name}.css{/ezdesign}

Using it with concat

{concat("stylesheets/",$style_name,".css")|ezdesign}

ezdesign

Prepends the current sitedesign to the url, if the file does not exist in that design the standard sitedesign is used instead.

{"stylesheets/style.css"|ezdesign}

becomes

"/design/mydesign/stylesheets/style.css"

ezimage

Prepends the current sitedesign to the url with the image subdirectory, if the file does not exist in that design the standard sitedesign is used instead.

{"search.png"|ezimage(single)}

becomes

'/design/mydesign/images/search.png'

ezurl

Only prepends the nVH directory if one exists.

exturl

Not done yet, the exact nature of this operator is not clear.
