class.rFastTemplate.php ChangeLog

2002-10-01  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Added /s qualify to PCRE regexps.  This
	  makes multiline comments following the
	  {BEGIN,END}_DYNAMIC_TEMPLATE work as intended.
	
2002-09-24  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php (append): New function, equivalent to
	  $t->assign($t->getkey($key).$x).  Actually its better than that
	  since it takes the same arguments as assign/setkey, i.e., it can
	  process an array argument.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php (quiet): was ignoring argument.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php (missing_dir_okay) allows you to include
	  directories in the template path array which do not exist.  The
	  default is 'false'.  Think about organizing a web site into
	  sections which correspond to directories.  The template tree
	  includes a generic menu plus specific menus for each section.
	  The specific menus are arranged in a directory tree parallel to
	  the main web site.  If there is no specific menu, the generic
	  one is used.  Previously, you had to create the directory tree
	  even if you had no templates to go in there.

2001-10-18  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php (clear): Made compatible with
	  FastTemplate.  It wasn't even working consistently.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php (clear_dynamic): New function,
	  compatible with FastTemplate.  This will clear a dynamic
	  template so that on the next parse() of an outer template,
	  the inner template will be complately blanked; i.e., *all*
	  of the text will be removed including surrounding constant
	  text.

	  Note that this behavior may be surprising to users of
	  FastTemplate since that package completely and permanently
	  removes the template text from the template; as if the
	  template were an empty string.  For a simple dynamic
	  template, the effect is the same, but for nested templates
	  where the inner template is used in a loop, the effect is
	  different.  The rFT behavior allows the contents to be
	  temporarily blanked until the next loop.  This allows you
	  to, for example, make a two-level list where some list
	  elements have not sub-lists but subsequent ones do.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php (quiet): Added quiet() to allow you
	  to pass through template variables unchanged without
	  generating an error.  I.e., normally, if something like
	  {FOO} appears in the text, it is either removed with
	  no_strict() or you get a warning message with strict().
	  This does neither, i.e., no warning and no removal.
	
2001-10-11  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Miscellaneous cleanup to run clean
	  with error_reporting(E_ALL).

2001-10-03  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed
	  $t->parse(MAIN,array('table','main')) bug to be compatible
	  with FastTemplate.  This will change the behavior for people
	  who were using the array() form, but I can't imagine how it
	  worked satisfactorily before.
	
2001-09-29  Roland Roberts  
	
	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Added define_raw() for shoving text
	  directly into a template.

2001-08-08  Roland Roberts  	

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed problem with clearing
	  template results.  Fixed typo in fetch that prevented
	  default from working.

2001-07-25  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Added "if($debug)" to all
	  $this->logwrite(...) calls.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: clear() and parse_internal_1() both
	  referenced an array element [results] which should have been
	  [result].  The meant neither were correctly clearing the
	  element.
	
2001-06-28  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Typo/thinko due to failed testing!

2001-06-27  Roland Roberts  
	
	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed handling of no_strict() which
	  was broken after then last set of changes.

2001-06-18  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed problem with templates being
	  parsed multiple times.  Fixed problem with extra append of
	  template contents if the first call to parse() is in append
	  mode instead of overwrite mode.
	
	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed incorrect test for trailing
	  whitespace after END block.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed problem with double append in
	  [result] element.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Added several logwrite sections to
	  help track differences with class.FastTemplate.php3.  Added
	  class.FastTemplate.php3 compatible define_dynamic() to allow
	  dynamic templates to be declared.  Added second optional
	  argument to define() to allow dynamic templates to be
	  defined by file rather than parent.  If you have lots of
	  nested templates, this might be easier.  Added support for
	  smarter autoloading so a declared dynamic template will try
	  to declared location first. If there is no declared
	  location, it will load all templates trying to find a match.
	
2001-06-15  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Skipping whitespace could back up
	  over a linefeed inappropriately.  If a dynamic template
	  began at the start of a "part" it would be duplicated in the
	  output.
	
2001-06-14  Roland Roberts  
	
	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed typo/thinko in unsetkey;
	  isempty changed to empty.

2001-06-12  Roland Roberts  

	
	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Merged in changes from Alister
	  Bulman .  These include: (1) Changed
	  quotes from double to single where possible to avoid
	  unnecessary variable interpolation, (2) Allow multiple
	  template roots, (3) Remember last handle parsed for use with
	  FastPrint(), and (4) changed `if ($die == 1)' to simple `if
	  ($die)'.
	
	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Calls to $this->error() now use
	  "true" as the second argument rather than integer values.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Formatting cleanup.
	
2001-06-13  Roland Roberts  

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: Fixed problem with trailing
	  comments in BEGIN/END blocks not being ignored.

	* class.rFastTemplate.php: If the BEGIN/END block lives on a
	  line by itself, remove the complete line.  More
	  specifically, if the only thing before the opening HTML
	  comment marker and after the closing HTML comment marker is
	  whitespace, we delete the whitespace as well.  This prevents
	  unwanted whitespace from creaping into the file.
