What about form tokens? {S_FORM_TOKEN} is still in use?

Just in reply of this question, specifically. Also if it is something that doesn't really IMO belongs to this topic.

YES, it is. And the related PHP side of the medal, that's considered a security issue if missing, beware. :geek:

Twig: {{ S_FORM_TOKEN }}

Re: [Tutorial] Convert to Twig Syntax

Hello again,

I am trying to do something like this, but I cannot make it to work in Twig.
javiexin wrote: Fri May 26, 2017 11:46 pm An interesting effect of this, is that now, in the Twig template syntax, you CAN use language keys with parameters! So you could write something like {{ lang('KEY', 3) }} or even nesting vars, if that is allowed {{ lang('KEY', {{ VALUE }}) }}
This works {{ lang('KEY', 3) }}, but what doesn't work is the nesting of variables as in {{ lang('KEY', {{ VALUE }}) }}, neither using them in set statements {% set newvar = {{ VALUE }} %}.

Any clues?

Thanks a lot.

Another question: how to perform simple arithmetics with template variables, like {{ TOTAL }} - {{ USED }} and use the resulting value?

No need for nesting:
  • {{ lang('KEY', VALUE) }}
  • {% set newvar = VALUE %}
  • {{ TOTAL - USED }}
  • {% set newval = TOTAL - USED %}

I haven't done any performance tests but I'd assume it's negligible for two reasons:
  1. As phpBB doesn't differentiate between templates that use phpBB syntax and templates that use Twig syntax, the code that checks for phpBB syntax has to run on all template files, regardless of them using phpBB or Twig syntax.
  2. Once converted, templates are cached. They are not converted for every request.

I'm updating my style @ the moment for phpBB 3.2.1 RC1
It's best to convert the whole style to Twig Syntrax then?

It is recommended to not mix them both. Also have a look at the Twig Converter.

Does phpBB recommend any particular file extension when converting to twig: .html, .twig, .html.twig?

BTW, it appears that template events are currently set to only work with .html.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Old code:

Code: Select all

var collapseImageIdAlt = '{LA_DIGESTS_COLLAPSE}';
var collapseImageIdTitle = '{LA_DIGESTS_COLLAPSE}';
Resulting HTML source code generated:

Code: Select all

var collapseImageIdAlt = 'Collapse';
var collapseImageIdTitle = 'Collapse';
New code:

Code: Select all

var collapseImageIdAlt = '{{ lang(DIGESTS_COLLAPSE)|addslashes }}';
var collapseImageIdTitle = '{{ lang(DIGESTS_COLLAPSE)|addslashes }}';
Resulting HTML source code generated:

Code: Select all

var collapseImageIdAlt = '';
var collapseImageIdTitle = '';
