This is a template library that wraps around TinyButStrong.

<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
if ( ! class_exists('Tbswrapper'))
{
require_once(APPPATH.'libraries/tbswrapper'.EXT);
}
$obj =& get_instance();

private static $TBS = null;
/**

}
public function tbsLoadTemplate($File, $HtmlCharSet=''){
return $this->TBS->LoadTemplate($File, $HtmlCharSet);
}
public function tbsMergeBlock($BlockName, $Source){
return $this->TBS->MergeBlock($BlockName, $Source);
}
public function tbsMergeField($BaseName, $X){
return $this->TBS->MergeField($BaseName, $X);
}
public function tbsRender(){
$this->TBS->Show(TBS_NOTHING);
return $this->TBS->Source;
}
}

Note: That was a php5 version of the wrapper. Here’s the same thing in php4, still as the file application/libraries/tbswrapper.php:
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
require_once("tbs_class_php4.php");
class Tbswrapper{
/**
* TinyButStrong instance
*
* @var object
*/
var $TBS = null;
/**
* default constructor
*
*/
function Tbswrapper() {
if($this->TBS == null) $this->TBS = new clsTinyButStrong();
}
function tbsLoadTemplate($File, $HtmlCharSet=''){
return $this->TBS->LoadTemplate($File, $HtmlCharSet);
}
function tbsMergeBlock($BlockName, $Source){
return $this->TBS->MergeBlock($BlockName, $Source);
}
function tbsMergeField($BaseName, $X){
return $this->TBS->MergeField($BaseName, $X);
}
function tbsRender(){
$this->TBS->Show(TBS_NOTHING);
return $this->TBS->Source;
}
}
?>
Besides tbswrapper.php, tbs_class_php5.php (for PHP5) or tbs_class_php4.php (for PHP4) must be present in application/libraries/ folder; also tbs_plugin_cache.php for caching presentation layer (it’s different from CI caching system).
Usage
Like any CI library, you can either autoload it:
configs/autoload.php
$autoload['libraries'] = array('tbswrapper');
Or, load it manually inside any controller method:
$this->load->library('tbswrapper');
Usage in controller
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Mycontroller extends Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->library('tbswrapper');
}
function index()
{
$this->load->model('my_model');
$data['appTitle'] = 'My APP';
$data['userData'] = $this->my_model->getUserData();
$this->load->view('my_view',$data);
}
}
?>
Usage in view
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
function loadMyDefaultView($obj, $data){
$obj->tbswrapper->tbsLoadTemplate(ROOTDIR.'templates/my_view.html');
$obj->tbswrapper->tbsMergeField('vars', $data['vars']);
$obj->tbswrapper->tbsMergeBlock('userDataBlock', $data['vars']['userData']);
return $obj->tbswrapper->tbsRender();
}
echo loadMyDefaultView($this, $data);
?>
Usage in model
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
* Functions that concern my model
*
*/
class My_model extends Model {
function __construct()
{
parent::Model();
}
/**
* Get some information
*
* @return array
*/
public function getUserData()
{
// of course you can launch a query here ...
$ud[0]['user_realname'] = 'John DOE';
$ud[0]['user_photo'] = 'picture1.png';
$ud[1]['user_realname'] = 'John DOE Junior';
$ud[1]['user_photo'] = 'picture2.png';
return $ud;
}
}
?>
Conclusion
Well, that’s it for TinyButStrong. This template engine is really fast and unobtrusive. Give it a try ...
