Templates : dynamic include

[Jean-Baptiste]

Hello,

I would like to dynamicly include a template :

<xen:include template="$myTemplate" />

It's not allowing me to save the template, any way to do it ?

Kind regards,

Unlikely to be possible. After you hit save the template is compiled and the included template is compiled in to it. Therefore the compiler would need to know the value of $myTemplate which, presumably at that point, it doesn't.

Ok thanks you very much Chris, I'm going to find an alternative.

That sucks in fact, can't do an alternative.

In theory, you can do this in the view.

I'm not sure why it needs to be dynamic, or under what conditions it needs to be dynamic... but the view would be the place to do this:

$this->_params['someHtml'] = $this->_renderer->createTemplateObject($aDynamicTemplateName, $params);

You can then use that in your template:

{xen:raw $someHtml}

In conjunction with this, you may want to pre load your template with the template_create event listener.
