Templates
ownCloud provides its own templating system which is basically plain PHP
with some additional functions and preset variables. All the parameters
which have been passed from the controller <controllers> are available
in an array called $_[]
, e.g.:
array('key' => 'something')
can be accessed through:
$_['key']
To prevent XSS the following PHP functions for printing are forbidden: echo, print() and <?=. Instead use the p() function for printing your values. Should you require unescaped printing, double check for XSS and use: :phpprint_unescaped.
Printing values is done by using the p()
function, printing HTML is
done by using print_unescaped()
.
templates/main.php
<?php foreach($_['entries'] as $entry){ ?>
<p><?php p($entry); ?></p>
<?php
}
Including templates
Templates can also include other templates by using the
$this→inc('templateName')
method.
<?php print_unescaped($this->inc('sub.inc')); ?>
The parent variables will also be available in the included templates,
but should you require it, you can also pass new variables to it by
using the second optional parameter as array for $this→inc
.
templates/sub.inc.php
<div>I am included, but I can still access the parents variables!</div>
<?php p($_['name']); ?>
<?php print_unescaped($this->inc('other_template', array('variable' => 'value'))); ?>
