Inheritance
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
By combining [layouts](/templates/layouts/) and [sections](/templates/sections/), Plates allows you to "build up" your pages using predefined sections. This is best understand using an example:

## Inheritance example
|
|
|
|
The following example illustrates a pretty standard website. Start by creating a site template, which includes your header and footer as well as any predefined content [sections](/templates/sections/). Notice how Plates makes it possible to even set default section content, in the event that a page doesn't define it.
|
|
|
|
<div class="filename">template.php</div>
|
|
~~~ php
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<title><?=$this->e($title)?></title>
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
|
|
<img src="logo.png">
|
|
|
|
<div id="page">
|
|
<?=$this->section('page')?>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div id="sidebar">
|
|
<?php if ($this->section('sidebar')): ?>
|
|
<?=$this->section('sidebar')?>
|
|
<?php else: ?>
|
|
<?=$this->fetch('default-sidebar')?>
|
|
<?php endif ?>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
With the template defined, any page can now "implement" this [layout](/templates/layouts/). Notice how each section of content is defined between the `start()` and `end()` functions.
|
|
|
|
<div class="filename">profile.php</div>
|
|
~~~ php
|
|
<?php $this->layout('template', ['title' => 'User Profile']) ?>
|
|
|
|
<?php $this->start('page') ?>
|
|
<h1>Welcome!</h1>
|
|
<p>Hello <?=$this->e($name)?></p>
|
|
<?php $this->stop() ?>
|
|
|
|
<?php $this->start('sidebar') ?>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="/link">Example Link</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="/link">Example Link</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="/link">Example Link</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="/link">Example Link</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="/link">Example Link</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<?php $this->stop() ?>
