How to $bvt->setBlockCustomTemplate ?

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Hey guys,

I've been trying to use the $bvt->setBlockCustomTemplate in a block I'm creating but I have a hard time applying the set with the data I specify in the Block Edit mode when saved.

What I did in my EDIT form is:
<?php 
    global $c;
   $bt = $controller->getBlockIdCarl();
   $b = $controller->getBlockTypeIdCarl();
   $templates = $bt->getBlockTypeCustomTemplates();
   $txt = Loader::helper('text');
    ?>
       <select name="settemplate" id="settemplate">
         <option value="">(<?php echo t('None selected')?>)</option>
         <?php  foreach($templates as $tpl) { ?>
            <option  value="<?php echo $tpl?>" <?php  if ($b->getBlockFilename() == $tpl) { ?> selected <?php  } ?>><?php    
               if (strpos($tpl, '.') !== false) {
                  print substr($txt->unhandle($tpl), 0, strrpos($tpl, '.'));
               } else {
                  print $txt->unhandle($tpl);

and in my controller SAVE function I've added this:
public function save($data) { 
               $b = $this->getBlockObject();
          $bvt = new BlockViewTemplate($b);
          $bvt->setBlockCustomTemplate($data['settemplate']);


So I have all the templates available for that block generated in my SELECTBOX no problems but when I select one and hit SAVE, it's does not apply it and it does not return me any error.

Help ? lol

Thanks

One of Remo's Free blocks does that, look around in the MP

Hi Mnkras, are you sure it was remos ? Because I checked all of his addon and none of them have this in it.

yep, his expand collapse, your trying to get custom templates in the edit dialog right?

//in edit form
  <select name="layout">
    <option value="">(<?php   echo t('None selected') ?>)</option>
    <?php   
    $templates = $controllerObj->getTemplates();
    $currentTemplate = $controllerObj->getCurrentTemplate();
    foreach ($templates as $template) {
      $selectedTemplate = "";
      if ($currentTemplate == $template) {
         $selectedTemplate = ' selected="selected" ';
      }
      echo "<option {$selectedTemplate} value=\"{$template}\">{$template}</option>";
    }
    ?>
  </select>


//controller
    function getTemplateByDirectory()
    {
      $templates = scandir(dirname(__FILE__) . '/templates');
      $templates = array_filter($templates,array($this,'filterDirectories'));
      return $templates;
    }
    /**
     * Returns all available templates for this block
     */         
    function getTemplates()
    {
      $blockObject = $this->getBlockObject();
         if (is_object($blockObject)) {
            $bt = BlockType::getByID($blockObject->getBlockTypeID());

and in the save function you need
$blockObject = $this->getBlockObject();
       if (is_object($blockObject)) {
          $blockObject->setCustomTemplate($data['layout']);
       }


I think thats all the code you need,

btw, some of the things he does in here can be swapped out for c5 methods and such

its working, I was trying to use: setBlockCustomTemplate() instead of setCustomTemplate();

Many thanks. :D
