FPTemplate examples
|
|
===================
|
|
These examples demonstrate some uses of templates (with FPTemplate) when
|
|
generating HTML pages by CGI/FCGI programs or Apache modules.
|
|
|
|
The main idea is to leave the web page design and look&feel to the web page
|
|
designers. Separating the web page design from the back-end CGI/FCGI/Apache
|
|
application makes it possible to design, change or redesign a whole website
|
|
without modifying a single line of code in the CGI/FCGI/Apache application.
|
|
|
|
Back-end programmers and web page designers can easily work parallel, and
|
|
neither side needs extensive knowledge of the other (does not hurt, just not
|
|
necessary most of the time).
|
|
|
|
With all this said, none of the examples are focusing on nice look and feel in
|
|
their template designs, merely on demonstrating the functionality and use of
|
|
templates, template-tags and template-tag-parameters with live applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples list:
|
|
|
|
1. /simpletemplate/*.*
|
|
The simplest template with one template tag in it to be replaced by the
|
|
CGI/FCGI/Apache application when generating the response page -> {TagName1}
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
2. /tagparam/*.*
|
|
Demonstrates the set up and use of template tag parameter(s)
|
|
-> {+DATETIME [-FORMAT=MM/DD hh:mm:ss-]+}
|
|
|
|
3. /listrecords/*.*
|
|
Demonstrates the use of a template tag with multiple template tag parameters
|
|
to list multiple records, tables, lists, etc.
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
4. /fileupload/*.*
|
|
Demonstrates uploading file(s) to a web server with the help of a CGI/FCGI
|
|
program or Apache module by using so called "multipart" HTML forms.
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
5. /sessions/*.*
|
|
These examples demonstrate three different ways to maintain and use sessions
|
|
when building web sites that need to carry over or store information to
|
|
following web pages, differentiate between visitors, etc.
|
|
|
|
5.a. /sessions/cookiesessions-auto/*.*
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
5.b. /sessions/cookiesessions-login/*.*
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
5.c. /sessions/urlsessions-login/*.*
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
6. /embedtemplates/*.*
|
|
An example to show how to implement recursively embedded templates with fpweb.
|
|
See README.txt
|
|
|
|
Note: All of the examples have CGI, FCGI and Apache variations. The web
|
|
modules (webmodule.pas, webmodule.lfm) and template html files for the paired
|
|
CGI/FCGI/Apache applications are exactly the same, showing that from a
|
|
developer standpoint there is not too much difference between writing CGI/FCGI
|
|
programs or Apache modules with fcl-web (fpweb). The main differences are in
|
|
the main project files (.lpr) and in the web server configurations.
