Re: [RFC] Allow Twig Extensions

We write twig extensions to make doing things in the template easier, think of them as super fancy macros. There are many cases where we need to call a custom twig function to insert special content. (ie. {{ display_special_block() }}). Without a twig extension you're pretty much blindly calling a ...

Re: Advanced template engine functionnality (blocks)

There are a few threads (and jiras) about doing this, ie. making full use of Twig's power.

[PHP] core.viewforum_get_forum_data

There needs to be a way to alter the template data (ideally before it is assigned) for the forum details in viewforum.php .

Currently there is an event core.viewforum_get_topic_data which only allows editing of the sql, it should also send $forum_data so that an extension can change some of the ...

Re: how to extract variables out of $template?

Just tried this out and it didn't work.

print_r($template->_tpldata); results in: Undefined property: phpbb/template/twig/twig::$_tpldata

Any other suggestions?

how to extract variables out of $template?

Is it at all possible to extract blocks out of $template, so they can be manipulated by the extension before being reassigned?

Trying to override the breadcrumbs functionality, but that function sets template variables directly.

This kind of stuff happens in a few places and is very difficult to ...

[RFC] Allow Twig Extensions

Current the Twig_Environment is hidden away in \phpbb\template\twig\twig, this makes it difficult to enable debugging in Twig, as the debug extension is not added by default (this can easily be done by checking for the DEBUG constant).

The real problem is that it doesn't not appear to be possible ...

Re: Set Meta keywords and description

It also appears that google has begun penalizing (or at least down ranking) user-created content, so the description on topic view pages might not actually do that much (especially since they could be rich in text). Meta descriptions on the index and forum view pages are the most important as those ...

Re: Set Meta keywords and description

most search engines (or at least the ones that matter, ie. google) ignore keywords. description on the other hand is rather important as it's what google displays under the link in the results and should be descriptive and unique.

there might already be a topic about this somewhere.
