Is that true? I know Apache itself might be vulnerable to malicious queries, but I'm talking about the template engine specifically here. Like, is it less secure than a plain html webpage (for my use case)?
In terms of performance I found that it is not the templating engine itself but more if there is the possibility to precompile the templates. It is a good practice to concatenate and minify all your JavaScript source files into one file for production mode anyway, so it is basically the same step to precompile the templates, too.
I am building a website in php with lot of pages and we are a team of 9 working on it. So just want to explore that when should we use PHP template engines and when we shouldn't. So I'm interested in pros and cons of using PHP Template engines so I can make a decision whether to use it in my case or not.
The PHP purists will tell you that PHP is itself a template engine. I consider myself a purist on this matter, and recommend just using PHP. It even has an alternate syntax for if and loop blocks that are pretty much designed for template-style readability.
Who's going to be maintaining the template? If the person maintaining the templates already knows PHP, there's no point in making them learn a new, pseudo-PHP template engine. If they don't know PHP, then it's still questionable, depending on their background, since most template engines just implement a syntax not unlike PHP tags (such as )
How complicated will your templates get? Some template engines are extremely restrictive in what you can do in the templates (forcing you to put everything in the controller, some almost to the point of uselessness or unnecessary hoop-jumping), while others are about as permissive as raw PHP (which many would argue defeats the purpose of a template engine).
How much does efficiency and speed matter? Template engines add overhead. Period. Converting the custom tags to PHP tags takes resources. How much they add and how much it matters depends on a number of factors (including the engine itself). If you need more speed from your site, then I'd vote the template engine as among the first to go.
As I said, I also recommend using PHP as your template "engine," but do be aware of some of the pitfalls. Mainly, it's really easy to add more logic than necessary into your templates. Make sure you have a rule to only include echo, for/foreach, and basic if blocks (such as if is_admin() and the like), and make sure to enforce it.
There is absolutely no reason to use a php template engine.The seperation of logic and view is a obligation. This does NOT mean using a template engine.With a template engine you have to learn things that have nothing to do with php or to do with anything else. Each person who have to modify the sources of smarty or an other template could be annoyed about that crap of anything useless and hindering mess.PHP enpowers your templates an give you all possibilities in each way you use it.With a dozen of advices PHP ist secure enough. Don't feel secure by using a template engine without knowledge of the tricks behind. Smarty can not secure public editable templates.
A template engine should be used when there is a great deal of presentation that is duplicated across multiple web pages and you have a desire to separate business and application programming and logic from presentation.
While it is technically true that php is itself a template language it is more accurate to describe it as a web programming language with built in templating. On the other hand it is also true that most template engines consume templates with programming directives built in. This implies that a reasonable balance exists between too much template within php and too much programming within a template. The better the balance the easier your coding and the more flexible and extensible your application will be.
If rather the exact same code is invoked under the control of a template engine then you have the same code writing to two different forms of output based on whether an RSS/XML or HTML template was provided. If the template engine is written well the php code neither knows nor cares what type of template is provided to it. The php could just as well be outputting HTML, XML, SQL, PDF, or text!
Having implemented many websites in Classic ASP and PHP over time I found that a good template engine saved me many long hours of programming and debugging and because there was no real template engine for Classic ASP I wrote KudzuASP to address the problem. You can find the related project KudzuPHP on my website and it is free. There is also a plugin for Wordpress based upon it.
You should always use some mechanism for separating markup from code just like you shouldn't embed CSS in your HTML. There are too many options to give you a flat answer. There are template engines like smarty or fasttemplate, then there are frameworks with templating systems (like cake, code igniter, etc). You should evaluate them individually based on your needs
I would just use php for your template engine. No extra overload from having something like smarty. They just need to know basic php. You can signify the template files with a .phtml file extension...Why would you want to use a templating engine?
It still increases server load; however I think it fixes the other cons of template engines. Unlike Smarty and all the other template engines for PHP, StampTE is completely logic-less. You only mark regions with proper HTML comments (most designers and front-end engineers already have these markers just for readability). It relies on these markers to offer cut-and-paste functionality to back-end developers. Back-end PHP programmers can copy-and-paste these regions from the template (like paper models) and construct website and web application GUIs with it. Also, they have a very friendly API themselves. For instance to cut a region like:
FigDice supports of course macros (reusable parts of a file), inclusion, iterations, and many more features, and also provides an exclusive approach to the Presentation/Logics separation, with the inversion of control of the data-providers (the Views pull the information they need to display, rather than letting the controllers push the data into the templates, as is usually the case with virtually every template engine).This makes it possible to the HTML Designer to really decide what he wants to present and when and how, without any risk of breaking down the code.
I've just started learning about Drupal 7's theme system. I need to know how the template engine handles php, html, and css inside its template files and how it interacts with Drupal core to make its final output onto the page.
You will need to move the files over from /system/expressionengine/third_party/subs/templates over to whatever template you are using to house template as files. For example in my case I would be moving them to /../templates/default_site as I store my templates above webroot in a folder called templates. I have never used the Subscriptions module but make sure the folders in question have .group at the end subs.group & subs_emails.group. After you have done that you will go to Design > Templates > Template Synchronization and select the folders in question and click Submit.
I'm in a need to convert an existent design into wordpress and before starting I was curious to know: Is it correct to use pure "naked" PHP when adding logic to templates in wordpress? Wordpress uses no template engine like Twig or Blade by default? I'm pretty suprised, so before starting to work on that project and doing everything in pure PHP (with the opening ) I wanted to ask here. This way of doing things seems very outdated to me.
Correct, there is no PHP templating engine built into WordPress. This does however give you the flexibility to use a templating engine such as Twig or Blade (and I have worked on sites using each of those), or even completely headless using the REST API.
Pug, formerly known as Jade, is a high-performance and feature-rich template engine for Node.js. With its clean, whitespace-sensitive syntax and ability to generate dynamic HTML content effortlessly, Pug has become an invaluable tool in the web development world. It not only simplifies writing complex HTML structures but also enhances code readability and maintainability.
When you build a server-side application with a template engine, the template engine replaces the variables in a template file with actual values, and displays this value to the client. This makes it easier to quickly build our application.
Quote Templates are a great time-saving feature that is available to all Rating Users. Add common answers to rating application questions to a template so it will pre-fill those fields when you are quoting a new customer. Even when a quote template is used you can still change the answers as you go. Create as many templates as you'd like and share them with all users in the agency!
I haven't done it personally myself, but it appears that the way an export template is created is simply by compiling Godot from source on that system with the "tools=no," flag set, which compiles the engine without the editor.
I am designing a small template engine for a very small MVC framework in PHP. Right now, the views take in an array from the controller that can be displayed with [variable]. Besides that, the view will read @extends[layout] for the actual "master page", and @section which will read a block ending in @endsection or a single line @section[key=value]. Either of those are read by @render in the master template.
Without a doubt you should try to remove as much logic from templates aspossible. But templates without any logic mean that you have to do allthe processing in the code which is boring and stupid. A template enginethat does that is shipped with Python and called string.Template. Comeswithout loops and if conditions and is by far the fastest template engineyou can get for Python.
