Can't render double extension templates without postfix

[skyosev]

        $engine = Foil\engine([
            'ext'     => ['tpl.php'],
            'folders' => ['path/to/templates']
        ]);
        // trying to render path/to/templates/home.tpl.php
        $engine->render('home'); 

this produces

Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException': home is not a valid template name

Do I miss something or this is currently not possible with Foil ?

@skyosev Thanks for your interest in Foil.

In Foil ext param matches what is returned by pathinfo() as extension.

So, if a file is named home.tpl.php at the moment to render it you need

I'm agree that it can be a nice addition to Foil, I'll implement it in next release that will be released soon (0.3 branch it's already live). Thanks!

Cool, it will be good enchantment I think.

I'm starting new ecommerce project (native php template requirements) right now and Foil seems great alternative to Plates (at first sight at least). Will watch its development closely.

@skyosev What I said in previous comment is completely wrong. facepalm

Foil is already capable to do that. Problem with your code is that ext must be set as string.

Real issue is in documentation, going to fix it immediately.

If you use:

        $engine = Foil\engine([
            'ext'     => 'tpl.php',
            'folders' => ['path/to/templates']
        ]);
        $engine->render('home');

it works!

Fixed. http://www.foilphp.it/docs/GETTING-STARTED/FILE-EXTENSIONS.html

In 0.3 branch I added 2 tests: unit and functional to test this feature.
