[3.1][3.2][3.3][RC] Twig Converter

Post by kasimi »

Extension Name: Twig Converter

Author: kasimi

Extension Description: This extension converts template files using phpBB syntax to template files using Twig syntax. It adds a very simple ACP module with a dropdown list of all available extensions and styles. When submitting the form, it downloads a zip file with all .html template files found within the selected extension or style folder, converted to Twig syntax.

This extension is a development tool and should not be used in a production environment.

Extension Version: 1.3.0

Requirements: Since version 1.2.0 of this extension, you need phpBB 3.2.x or 3.3.x. For phpBB 3.1.x, please use version 1.1.1. The PHP zip extension needs to be installed in all cases.

I just did this by hand about a day ago. You should have released this sooner!!

How do you handle loops?

Also, any bugs or kinks?

I wrote this only today. :P After having written a Python script yesterday with ugly regular expressions that didn't even cover all syntax features, I realized that phpBB does the conversion internally already, so this extension just reuses core code, which means that if your template files with phpBB syntax work as intended, this extension is able to convert them without problems. :)

That's great. How about support for selecting individual files/folders? Only reading html files of course.

Just a thought - could this be used to convert core templates?

Converting doesn't take long and is done only once, usually. You could just convert all .html files and extract only the ones you need from the zip archive. I don't think adding support for individual files is worth it.

Yes indeed, good idea. I just tested this by copying the styles/prosilver folder to ext/kasimi/twigconverter/prosilver and doing the conversion, and it worked.

Great extension! So maybe the phpBb team can use this to convert the prosilver style?
Tested the ext on phpBB 3.2.1 RC1 and works great!

Great extension!

Currently you are checking only the ext-folder for html-files? Is it possible to check also the styles-Folder to convert styles without copying them to the ext-folder?

There's a new version 1.1.0 that adds support for converting styles. It also fixes a critical directory traversal bug in 1.0.0 that could be used to extract .html files from outside of phpBB's root folder. Please update!

For the latest download see the link to the GitHub releases in the first post.
