eTemplate Tutorial

[Bartman57]

Hello,
I’ve been coming up to speed with eGroupware for a project and have been using the online developer resources. The eTemplate Tutorial (http://www.egroupware.org/egroupware/etemplate/doc/etemplate.html) is one that I found very valuable. However, I did find a couple of errors that I wanted to share (i would correct but it’s not in the wiki).

First area:
Code snippet for Section 6 - /et_media/inc/class.ui_et_media.inc.php

• trailing curly brace “}” is missing to close the open curly brace for the overall class (it should be on the last line of the example)

• the read functionality of the “edit” function will not work as outlined in the overview below the code snippet. Here’s what I changed it to in order for it to function properly (I’ve set to the font to bold on the lines that needed adjustment):

  function edit($content=null,$msg = ‘’)
  {
  if (is_array($content)) // not first call from index
  {
  if ($content[‘read’])
  {
  $this->read($content);
  }
  //echo “

  edit: content =”; _debug_array($content);
  // moved to check for “save” - $this->data_merge($content);
  //echo “

  edit: data =”; _debug_array($this->data);

    	if (isset($content['save']))
    	{
    		<b>$this->data_merge($content);</b>
    		$msg .= !$this->save() ? lang('Entry saved') : lang('Error: while saving !!!');
    	}
    }
  
    // now we filling the content array for the next call to etemplate.exec
  
    $content = $this->data + array(
    	'msg' => $msg
    );
    $sel_options = array(
    	'type' => $this->types
    );
    $this->tmpl->exec('et_media.ui_et_media.edit',$content,$sel_options,$no_button,array(
    	'id' => $this->data['id']
    ));
  

  }
