A template feature that doesn't seem to work.

F3 Views & Templates

Quoted from the page: A practical use for such template directive is when you have several pages with a common HTML layout but with different content. Instructing the framework to insert a sub-template into your main template is as simple as writing the following PHP code:

// switch content to your blog sub-template $f3->set('content','blog.htm'); // in another route, switch content to the wiki sub-template $f3->set('content','wiki.htm'); A sub-template may in turn contain any number of directives. F3 allows unlimited nested templates.

I have been unable to find a way to make this work and found no working examples anywhere online or from 3rd party community project examples

Assuming blog.htm or wiki.htm really does exist in in a directory set with the UI path setting like so: $fw->set("UI", "ui/");, I am still unable to trigger this to be displayed from within my main template.

My route looks like this:

$fw->route("GET /books/", function(\Base $fw){ $fw->set("page_title", "Puzzle Books"); $fw->set('content', 'books.htm'); echo \Template::instance()->render('full-width.htm'); });

My full-width template has some HTML that looks like:

<main class="main container">{{ @content }}</main>

All I am able to get in my template is "books.htm" instead of the actual rendered content.

I'm completely stumped and could use some help with this one. Thanks!

As explained in the Templates within templates section, you need to use <include href="{{ @content }}" /> in order to include external templates. Otherwise, you're just echoing a string.

Heck yeah, that was the fix! Thank you so much! I had understood this "include" tag to only reference real files, not files set in the hive. Awesome. I'll close the issue with this response.

For anyone else not understanding, I simply changed

<main class="main container">{{ @content }}</main> to <main class="main container"><include href="{{ @content }}" /></main>
