I initially thought this wasn't actually necessary - the combination
of [[plugins/template]] with [[plugins/contrib/field]]'s pagetemplate
hook ought to provide the same functionality. However, template
doesn't run pagetemplate hooks; a more general version of this
plugin would be to have a variant of template that runs pagetemplate
hooks (probably easiest to just patch template to implement a
second directive, or have a special parameter run_hooks="yes",
or something).
I got the impression that pagetemplate hooks are intended to be completely independent of template variables; page-template is for the actual page.tmpl template, while template is for other templates which are used inside the page content. So I don't understand why one would need a run_hooks option. --[[KathrynAndersen]]
Render, inline, comments and recentchanges run pagetemplate
hooks, as does anything that uses IkiWiki::misctemplate. From that
quick survey, it seems as though template is the only thing that
uses HTML::Template but doesn't run pagetemplate hooks?
It just seems strange to me that field needs to have its own
variant of template (this), its own variant of inline (report),
and so on - I'd tend to lean more towards having field
enhance the existing plugins. I'm not an ikiwiki committer,
mind... Joey, your opinion would be appreciated! --[[smcv]]
I did it that way basically because I needed the functionality ASAP, and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, so I made them as separate plugins. If Joey wants to integrate the functionality into IkiWiki proper, I would be very happy, but I don't want to put pressure on him. --[[KathrynAndersen]]
Another missing thing is that ftemplate looks in
the "system" templates directories, not just in the wiki, but that
seems orthogonal (and might be a good enhancement to template anyway).
--[[smcv]]
Yes, I added that because I wanted the option of not having to make all my templates work as wiki pages also. --[[KathrynAndersen]]
Yeah, that's something that annoys me about template too. I've
opened a todo: [[todo/user-defined_templates_outside_the_wiki]].
