  <!-- REUSE BLOCK : orignalblockname AS copyblockname -->
  

• bugfix in ouputContent function. Reported by Luca Venuti, SPRING snc. Should avoid getting the following error:
  
  Warning: Undefined index: _B:blockname in class.TemplatePower.inc.php on line 367
  

22 october 2001

• added global assign of variables. Using:
  
  $tpl->assignGlobal( "varname", "global value" );
  
  The global-value can be overridden in each individual block by:
  
  $tpl->assign( "varname", "local value" );
  

• added PHP-file include tag, like the the function include() in PHP with one difference. Only the output of the include file will be saved in the template.
  
  <!-- INCLUDESCRIPT BLOCK : a_name -->
  
  can be assigned in your controllscript by:
  
  $tpl->assignInclude( "a_name", "./a_file.php" );
  
  

04 september 2001

• removed some 'unneeded' code in the var parsing part in function parseTemplate(),
• added ignore tag to overrided parsing of vars/blocks, these will just be parsed as code.
  
  <!-- START IGNORE -->
  
    [some code/html here]
  
  <!-- END IGNORE -->
  
  
• added functionallity to save parsed templates for later use. So the parsing doesn't happen everytime a script is runned. This functionallity leads to some execution speed. Just run a php script like below :
  
  (Note: the parsed template need to be saved in a directory where PHP can write)
  
  <?php
   require_once( "./class.TemplatePower.inc.php" );
  
  //first parameter => base template file, second parameter => filename to save parsedtemplate to
   $stpl = new TPLSerializer( "./my_base_template.tpl", "./saved_parsed_tpl.stpl" );
   $stpl->assignInclude("my_include_block", "./include.tpl");
  
  //parse template and save it on disk
   $stpl->doSerialize();
  ?>
  
  
  In your template controllscript you have to do like the following:
  
  
  <?php
   require_once( "./class.TemplatePower.inc.php" );
  
  //the last parameter indicates if it's a saved template
   $tpl = new TemplatePower( "./saved_parsed_tpl.stpl", true );
  
  //we don't need the function assignInclude() anymore.
   $tpl->prepare();
  
   $tpl->assign("name", "RoVeL");
  
   $tpl->printToScreen();
  ?>
