XF 2.0 where can i find documentation on the xenforo 2 template language?

I've been looking for an API, but i can barely find any documentation on the <xf:> tags.

AFAIK there's just this official dec documentation: -> Getting started - XenForo 2.0 Documentation
And this one for admins: -> Overview - XenForo 2 Manual (there's just a small part for templates: Styling - XenForo 2 Manual )

And from the RM:
Conditional Statements for XenForo 2

Regarding the xf-tags for the template engine, look at this class:

XF\Template\Templater: Here you find all available functions (see $defaultFunctions).

That doesn't look like the tags, more like template functions (as the name indicates). Stuff like xf:if (conditionals), xf:macro, xf:css, etc. is missing, whereas you could call I believe everything there with name($params).

yes i had found those myself too, is there no documentation at all on the xenforo 2 template tags? how do people know them then?

Right. A complete list of tags seems to be in XF\Template\Compiler ($defaultTags)

is there no documentation at all on the xenforo 2 template tags? how do people know them then?

no, there is none (at the moment). You have to look at XF2 core code and templates and put the pieces together.

Ha, silly me, I didn't think of looking there. This will be a major help.

i dont have access to the php files as im just an administrator and dont host the site, can somebody list the functions and tags? it would be nice to atleast know what functions and tags exist. is there a toLowerCase function for example? because thats something i could use right now.

 

[S Thomas]

That's a filter. You can apply that with {{$yourVar|to_lower}}. You should ask your hoster to give you a copy of both files above.

 

[skullkrusher]

thanks!

 

[skullkrusher]

are filters different from functions? i imagine those arent documented either....

 

[S Thomas]

They're defined in Templater. You can apply them to any function I believe.
