Lack of interest Formatter_Base Workflows

[xf_phantom]

It would be great, if the renderMethods from the formatter (renderTagAttach, renderTagCode,..) wouldn't return the rendered template.
It's impossible to change the used templatename or add own variables to the template without overwriting the complete method. (=> addon conflics)

A quick solution would be a simple wrapper function like

  protected function _getRenderedTemplate($templateName,array $params){
  $template = $this->_view->createTemplateObject($templateName, $params);
  return $template->render();
  }

  public function renderTagFoo(array $tag, array $rendererStates){

  $viewParams = array(
  'foo' =>1
  );
  return $this->_getRenderedTemplate('foo',$viewParams);
  }

then addons would have access to the templatename and variables

  protected function _getRenderedTemplate($templateName,array $params){

  if (XenForo_Application::isRegistered('myuniquekey')){
  $params += XenForo_Application::get('myuniquekey');
  }
  return parent::_getRenderedTemplate($templateName, $params);
  }

  public function renderTagFoo(array $tag, array $rendererStates){
  if (foo()){
  XenForo_Application::set('myuniquekey',array('foo' => 'baz'));
  }
  return parent::renderTagFoo($tag,$rendererStates);
  }
