Hi all,

I'm closing this mailing-list (the archives will remain available in
read-only mode:

of the regular Twig users mailing-list. The reasons are quite simple:

Tag aliases?

j...@joemaller.com (Joe Maller) — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 19:16:12 UT

I have a project which is using Twig to render some Jinja templates. For the most part, these work perfectly, only a few tags differ. With so few differences, I started wondering why Twig (and Jinja) don't support each other's tags as aliases for the few cases where their syntax differs.

Rather than hacking the core, I wondered if it would be possible to extend Twig with tag aliases?

Question: How to include Twig in project without using Autoloader?

mojt...@gmail.com (Mojtaba Dashtinejad) — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:22:12 UT

Hi,
I have a simple project that just include Twig with Autoloader:
Twig_Autoloader::register();
in some web server, it work correctly, but in another webserver, it
generates an error:
Class 'Twig_Loader_Filesystem' not found
Here is my question: How can I include Twig in my project, without
Autoloader? (With requiring all Twig related files manually I mean).

A dual path resolution strategy

bbi...@gmail.com (Bilge) — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 23:01:37 UT

When I first started integrating Twig into my project I was annoyed with
that way that path resolution works when including resources with tags like
include and macro. Paths were always resolved relative to the working
directory of my project so I always had to write out the full path to a
template even if it existed in a single subdirectory of the currently

Passing a String as the template content.

I am using [link].
$this->load->library('twig');
$data['title'] = "Testing Twig!!";
Instead of doing :
$this->twig->display OR render('view.html', $data);
I need to to this :
$this->twig->render($string, $data); The $string has html/twig template ready to use.
The library/class in the library I am using writes this :

[Suggestion] Adding HTML namespacing with Twig

mojt...@gmail.com (Mojtaba Dashtinejad) — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 04:20:33 UT

Hi
I think about "Namespacing" in HTML, and I'm glad to share with you here,
maybe the creators of Twig, found it nice and add it to Twig. I hope so.
As you know, because number of javascript plugins is growing fast,
and because they'll work with css classes and ids and attributes,
sometimes, it will happen that two javascript/css library conflict each

using loop variable in sub template

remo.laubac...@gmail.com (Remo) — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:43:36 UT

I have several templates, one main template and several sub templates which
are all included from the main template.
I'd like to use the current element from the loop in my sub template as
well as the loop index. The main template looks like this:
{% for block in blocks %}
{% set block_template = 'blocks/' ~ block.type ~ '.twig' %}

Ternary shorthand

bbi...@gmail.com (Bilge) — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:34:26 UT

It should not be necessary to specify both alternations of the ternary
statement if the false condition is not significant. Consider the following:
{{ input is checked ? 'checked' : '' }}
It should be possible to condense this to be expressed more simply.
{{ input is checked ? 'checked' }}
The default value for the false case should just be null.

embed default block

ibizapea...@gmail.com (ibizaman) — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 20:38:11 UT

Hi,
What do you think about this feature: if there is only one block defined,
then you don't need to specify it when embedding.
An example is worth thousands of words:
old_main.twig is the way to do it now, new_main.twig would be the "new" way.
{% block myblock %}
{% endblock %}
{% embed skeleton.twig %}

Get template source for a node

jeremy...@gmail.com (Jeremy Dorn) — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:14:06 UT

I'm creating an online editor for Twig templates for use in a CMS. I would
like to have a separate editor for each block defined in a template. For
example:
{% extends "page.html.twig" %}
{% block header %}
Hello {{ name }}
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
Hello
{% endblock %}
There would be a WYSIWYG editor for the header block and one for the

Is it possible to get content of block inside template by path ?

lubomir1...@gmail.com (JohnMan) — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:04:23 UT

I mean, example:
{% block profile %}
{% block interest %}
{{ title }}
{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}
echo $T->fetch('/profile/interests/ ', array('title' => 'Job'));

Twig event listener (hook) in template variable

sulaeman.nowh...@gmail.com (Nundut) — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 03:19:37 UT

Hello,
I'm having something in my mind that need to be implemented in the current
project. I'll explain with a example below:
I will be having below variables structure used in a lot of templates:
{% if article.tags is iterable %}
As you can see at the #1 line above, i will then assign "*article*"

Special names for Macros

mojt...@gmail.com (Mojtaba) — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:38:17 UT

Hi,

This code doesn't work, it'll generate an error. How can we called a
macro a special name like "is"?

I think it is good idea to solve this problem.

{% macro is() %}
NOT WORKED
{% endmacro %}
