PHP Framework

I have decided to take a dive into PHP frameworks, and decided to try out Mako Framework after looking through the docs and getting a feel for what it offered.

 

Sadly, I have hit a bit of a snag that the docs don't really help me with. If you scroll up a little on this page, you will see the section that talks about parent and child templates.

 

Here is the code I have thus far:

Admin Controller: 

<?php
namespace app\controllers;

use mako\http\routing\Controller;
use mako\view\ViewFactory;

class Admin extends Controller
{

public function login(ViewFactory $view)
{
return $view->create('login');
}


}

partials/adminHead.tpl.php: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="{{$__charset__}}">
    <title>{{block:title}}{{endblock}}</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../assets/css/materialize.css"  />
    <script src="../assets/js/materialize.js"> </script>
</head>

login.tpl.php: 

{% extends:'partials.adminHead' %}
{% block:title %} Admin Login - My Blog{% endblock %}

<body>
 <nav>
   <div class="nav-wrapper">
      <div class="col s12" style="margin-left: 20px;">
        <a href="#!" class="brand-logo">Logo</a>
        <ul class="right hide-on-med-and-down" style="margin-ri: 20px">
         <li><a href="sass.html">Sass</a></li>
          <li><a href="badges.html">Components</a></li>
          <li><a href="collapsible.html">JavaScript</a></li>
        </ul>
     </div>
   </div>
 </nav>

The result that I get is {% extends:'partials.adminHead' %} printed out above the rendered HTML, instead of what the docs claim. From the fact that I haven't found anything other than docs in relation to this framework, I am going to assume that it is not very popular, but I hope someone here can help.

 

In case my description of the output was not clear, here is a picture:

Shouldn't it be 

return $view->create('login')->render();

or 

$view = $view->create('login');
return $view->render();

instead 

return $view->create('login');

?

They both do the same thing. From what I can tell, Mako uses its own view rendering system. (Which is why this is so hard to figure out... I only have one set of docs, and no thing else to work with)

Have you run welcome page before without problems? I mean when you unpack and configure server so it's root dir will be /public, does then site works and displays welcome page?

 

Maybe your installation isn't right

So templates works, what I did was I created new directory under views called base where I put file base.tpl.php which contains: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="{{ $__charset__ }}">
		<title>Title of document!</title>		
	</head>
	<body>
	{{block:body}}{{endblock}}
	</body>
</html>

Then in views I edited welcome.tpl.php so it conains: 

{% extends:'base.base' %}

{% block:body %}
	Test content.
{% endblock %}

And in result, when I enter / page I have "Test content." displayed with source: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<title>Title of document!</title>		
	</head>
	<body>
		Test content.
	</body>
</html>

So, my issue is that no matter what the extends statement is printed, which leads me to believe that there is something wrong with whatever parses the template file.

Do it on new installation step by step and see where (if) it will get broken.

So, it works on a new install, but what confuses me is that I did nothing differently.

You are curious enough you can use program winmerge alike, and hunt for file differences.But it may not be possible for cache.

I am doing this locally before sending it off to a server.

I'm just saying you can look for file differences between working version and version that was "ok" but wasn't working.

I know, I was saying that the cache shouldn't be an issue.

I'm talking about framework cache, not browser or any else. Framework may cache source code so it will compile templates to php files rather than using tpl.php and maybe even optimize php source files. I don't know how mako framework works. But I'm working with Symfony and it does some of those.

I just made a new project, no idea what was wrong with the old one.

Why does everyone consider it a good idea to use as much third-party code as possible?

Because programmers are lazy.

Why develop your own MVC framework when there are dozens available for free?

Because I can't debug what I don't know.

Php does get compiled into a redistributable executable, so you always have access to the source code of a php framework.

 

There is this saying:

Dont try to reinvent the wheel

Have you ever tried to read and understand the (e.g.) Symfony source code? You just can't know.

 

No, you shouldn't reinvent the wheel. But you also shouldn't use monster truck wheels for your bicycle.
