NAME

EPrints::Apache::Template - Template Applying Module

SYNOPSIS

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "entities.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epc="http://eprints.org/ep3/control">
  <head>
	  <title><epc:pin ref="title" textonly="yes"/> - <epc:phrase ref="archive_name"/></title>
  ...

DESCRIPTION

This module renders HTML page content using a template.

Templates are parsed and rendered at server start-up, expanding phrases and any EPC. If you need to include dynamic content in the page use use a pin generated via Dynamic Pins.

The page title, content and other core page structures are supplied via Default Pins.

Static HTML Pages

Static files with the .xpage extension are rendered using templates:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"  standalone="no"  ?>
  <!DOCTYPE page SYSTEM "entities.dtd" >
  <xpage:page xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xpage="http://eprints.org/ep3/xpage" xmlns:epc="http://eprints.org/ep3/control">
    <xpage:template>default</xpage:template>
    <xpage:head>
      <style type="text/css">h1 { text-weight: bold }</style>
    </xpage:head>
    <xpage:title>My first XPage</xpage:title>
    <xpage:body>
      Writing XPages is easy.
    </xpage:body>
  </xpage:page>

<xpage:template> is a special pin that, instead of supplying content to the template, changes the template used for rendering. The content is just the template name (without the .xml extension).

Default Pins

title

The title of the page.

page

The page content.

login_status_header

HTML <head> includes for the login status of the user - currently just some JavaScript variables.

head

Page-specific HTML <head> contents.

pagetop

(Unused?)

login_status

A menu containing EPrints::Plugin::Screens that appear in key_tools. The content from each plugin's render_action_link is rendered as a HTML <ul> list.

Historically this was the login/logout links plus key_tools but since 3.3 login/logout are Screen plugins as well.

languages

The render_action_link from EPrints::Plugin::Screen::SetLang.

Dynamic Pins

In cfg.d/dynamic_template.pl:

  $c->{dynamic_template}->{function} = sub {
    my( $repo, $parts ) = @_;
  
    $parts->{mypin} = $repo->xml->create_text_node( "Hello, World!" );
  };

In archives/[archiveid]/cfg/templates/default.xml (copy from lib/templates/default.xml if not already exists):

  <epc:pin ref="mypin" />

Or, for just the text content of a pin:

  <epc:pin ref="mypin" textonly="yes" />

 ==DESCRIPTION==
-When HTML pages are served by EPrints they are processed through a template written in XML. Most repositories will have two templates - ''default.xml'' for HTTP and ''secure.xml'' for HTTPS.
+This module renders HTML page content using a template.
-Templates are parsed at '''server start-up''' and any included phrases are replaced at that point. Because templates persist over the lifetime of a server you do not typically perform any logic within the template itself, instead use a pin generated via [[API:EPrints/Apache/Template#Custom_Pins|Custom Pins]].
+Templates are parsed and rendered at server start-up, expanding phrases and any EPC. If you need to include dynamic content in the page use use a pin generated via [[API:EPrints/Apache/Template#Dynamic_Pins|Dynamic Pins]].
-The page content is added to the template via &lt;epc:pins&gt;.
+The page title, content and other core page structures are supplied via [[API:EPrints/Apache/Template#Default_Pins|Default Pins]].
