Interesting... I've not received any report about this, if so it will be a serious trouble....
Capitals are allowed.

However, keeping everything lowercase makes everything easier!

That's because if you use mixed case for the vendor and package naming, that has to be carried over exactly to the name-spacing of PHP files and in all references to the extension name such as in composer.json. Any mistakes and it will break. It's also worth noting that if developing on a Mac with a drive formatted to be case-insensitive (which is the default), then you won't realize your extension may be broken due to mistakes in getting the cases right until you deploy it to a UNIX based server.

A little confusion.....
I am all for anything that will improve performance on a shared server since my board is hosted on one.
Just installed the TWIG converter....
before you upload the modified files back to the proper directory, do you need to delete anything from the old directory.
I also noted that when some of the modified files are uploaded, they can be a little larger than the original,
so we might be trading a tad of server space for improved performance?
If at first you don't succeed, Sky diving is not for you....

This is an extension writer's/style author's tool - not an extension that you would install on a live board.

Are both of these code examples right?

Code: Select all

$this->template->assign_block_vars('trackers', [
	'TRACKER_NAME'	=> $row['tracker_name'],
	'U_TRACKER'		=> $this->helper->route('kinerity_trackers_controller', ['page' => 'viewtracker', 't' => (int) $row['tracker_id']]),
]);

Code: Select all

{% for tracker in loops.trackers %}
<li>
	<a href="{{ tracker.U_TRACKER }}" role="menuitem">
		<i class="icon fa-file-o fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>{{ tracker.TRACKER_NAME }}</span>
	</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}

{% for tracker in loops.trackers %}
should be
{% for tracker in trackers %}

Also if it works is deprecated.
Also note that the loops. prefix is only needed in phpBB 3.1.x, and is not needed if you are writing for 3.2.x or later.

One more question - how would I convert this to Twig?

Code: Select all

<div class="<!-- IF articles.S_ROW_COUNT is even -->bg1<!-- ELSE -->bg2<!-- ENDIF -->">

Something like:

Code: Select all

<div class="{{ articles.S_ROW_COUNT is even ? 'bg1' : 'bg2' }}">
Or

Code: Select all

<div class="bg{{ articles.S_ROW_COUNT is even ? '1' : '2' }}">
Not tested.

You could always use the twig convertor extension to do it for you.

Dunno if it is capable to handle ternary operators shorthands of if-then-else as above explained.

I would suggest using loop.index instead, so you rely on twig rather than assigned loop variables.
And then use AbaddonOrmuz' suggestion: {{ loop.index is even ? 'bg1' : 'bg2' }}

.loops prefix definitely does not work in phpBB 3.3 as a side note. At least here. :P

There is a distinct difference between {% for x in loops.y %} and {{ loop.index }}.
loop. is a twig reference, while loops. is a prefix added to template block variables by phpBB.
