Tidy output extension?

Thursday 01 February 2007 9:48:47 pm

I wanted to thank everyone for creating such a lively discussion in this thread.

My next request would be that the next person who implements a simple tidy template operator consider posting it as a code contribution on ez.no to share with others who seek the start of a solution in this topic, perhaps even to extend and return those improvements back to the community again.

I've been planning on starting the project this weekend, but there was a death in the family, so I'm having to travel. I hope to start working on it next week. I can't promise that it will be any good, being my first extension, but it would be a start.

Question: There are two ways to access tidy in PHP. Either call the actual command from exec() (or the like) or use the PHP tidy functions (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.tidy.php), but that requires the user to install those functions from pecl (http://pecl.php.net/package/tidy). Which method would be best? Or should there be the ability to choose in the settings?

Hi Andrew

I have an extension which implements an template operator for tidy halfways done. If you are interested, write me at ckosny [at] gmx [dot] net.

hehe, the glove analogy does ring a few bells :)

i think that it totally depends on your need.

mod_tidy and the validator are essentially have the same purpose and can be used during development. validator is a little safer for production sites since its client side.

however, if you are not interested in finding and fixing issues ( which is difficutl with the many ez templates) and just want well formatted html then perhaps use the apache mod or this eZ extension.

on top of that consider that unless you control the web server its unlikely you can add such a mod which leaves you only with the eZ extension...

Ok. I know I missing something obvious. I keep getting a operator not registered error. Here's are my code so far (not much to look at).

eztemplateautoload.php...

<?php

$eZTemplateOperatorArray = array();
$eZTemplateOperatorArray[] = array(
        'script' => 'extension/eztidy/autoloads/eztidyoperator.php',
        'class' => 'EztidyOperator',
        'operator_names' => array('eztidy'));

?>

eztidyoperator.php...

<?php
class EztidyOperator
{
    function EztidyOperator()
    {
        $this->Operators = array('eztidy');
    }
    function operatorList()
    {
        return $this->Operators;
    }
    function namedParameterPerOperator()
    {
        return true;
    }
    function namedParameterList()
    {
        return array( 'eztidy' => array( 'first_param' => array( 'type' => 'string',
                                                                 'required' => false,
                                                                 'default' => 'default text' ),
                                         'second_param' => array( 'type' => 'integer',
                                                                  'required' => false,
                                                                  'default' => 0 ) ) );
    }
    function modify( &$tpl, &$operatorName, &$operatorParameters, &$rootNamespace, &$currentNamespace, &$operatorValue, &$namedParameters )
    {
        $firstParam = $namedParameters['first_param'];
        $secondParam = $namedParameters['second_param'];
        switch ( $operatorName )
        {
            case 'eztidy':
            {
                $operatorValue = $this->tidyup($firstParam);
            } break;
        }
    }
    function tidyup($originalMarkup){
        $tidy = new tidy;
        $tidy->parseString($originalMarkup);
        $tidy->cleanRepair();
        return $tidy;
    }
    var %Operators;
}
?>

site.ini.append.php

[TemplateSettings]
ExtentionAutoloadPath[]=eztidy

I have the extension enabled in the admin.

Thanks.

Man! If I could spell, I'd be dangerous!

Thanks.

Woohoo! It works!

I put the eztidy operator on the $module_result.content output in pagelayout.tpl. You can easily see where tidy kicks in in the source...

Now for clean up and getting ready for contribution. Any thoughts on where to keep the Tidy Options?

I agree that the eztidy.ini would be the best, I know how to access it in a template, I just didn't know how to access it within the php code.

Ok. So are there instructions for committing code to the pubsvn. I'm familiar with SVN, I just need the connection info.

Thanks.

Hello Andrew,

You may find the information you seek to request commit access to the community repositories documented in the following article.

@Andrew
See http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/classeZINI.html for info on accessing ini files from php code.
