template includes and performance

*- pike	Tuesday 22 January 2008 5:06:41 am Hi Can't seem to find any info on this: "Does including templates (using {include .. } ) decrease performance ?" I would say, when template-compiling is on, the includes are actually included in the php code, If that is true, there is no difference at all (well, perhaps a msec while compiling). But I can't find the code that would do that .. does anyone know? *-pike --------------- The class eZContentObjectTreeNode does.

Includes in templates, when compiled, become includes in PHP. {include uri="SomeIncludedThing.tpl"} becomes <?include("SomeCompiledIncludedThing.php")?> In other words - each EZP template is compiled into 1 PHP file. And since SomeCompiledIncludedThing.php contains some wrapper php code (to prepare the actual compiled templatecode), including templates generates more php code, when compiled, then writing the template code all in one single template. *-pike --------------- The class eZContentObjectTreeNode does.

*- pike	Tuesday 12 February 2008 1:59:06 pm absolutely. i love includes. i include everything. but there is a downside, it decreases performance (a bit). actually, i think it is a missed chance for ezpublish - one of the benefits for using a template language and compiling it into php is you could use includes while developing, and still have very efficient php after compiling (because the includes would be, well, included). but this is not the case as it is now (as far as i can see). *-pike --------------- The class eZContentObjectTreeNode does.
