Addon Module - Call Template from Output Function

[jfreak53]

I can't find it anywhere in the developer documentation but it does hint to the fact that in the _output function I can call a template file. How do I do this? I would like to call a template file for final output from the module directory.

 

Thanks.

yes it can be done, have you checked the supplied templates as they document it i think.

 

basically you can either echo content, then exit the script (this wont include the sites header/footer).

 

or you can return an array like so:

 

return array(

'pagetitle' => $title,

'breadcrumb' => array($vars['modulelink'] => $vars['_lang']['page_title']),

'templatefile' => 'tplname',

'requirelogin' => 1,

'vars' => array('vars' => $vars)

);

 

its pretty self explanatory, but the templatefile is the name of the .tpl file in the module folder. breadcrumbs is an array link => anchor text. login is true/false, and vars allows you to assign additional smarty vars for use in the template.
