Template::Library::Splash(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Template::Library::Splash(3pm)
NAME
Template::Library::Splash - Template library for building stylish HTML user interfaces
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This documentation is incomplete, incorrect and outdated. The Splash! library is
still evolving and subject to change. See the examples for a much more recent and
accurate demonstration of use.
Introduction
The 'Splash' template library is distributed as part of the Template Toolkit. It can be
found in the 'templates' sub-directory of the installation directory.

...
To use the Splash library, you first need to tell the Template Toolkit where to find the
template files.
use Template;
my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => '/usr/local/tt2/templates',
});
For a portable way to determine the installation 'templates' directory, you can use the
"Template::Config->instdir()" class method.
use Template;
my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => Template::Config->instdir('templates'),
});
Note that you should set the INCLUDE_PATH to the 'templates' directory as shown here and
don't be tempted to set the INCLUDE_PATH to 'templates/splash'. Many of the Splash!
components use elements in the 'html' directory and contain directives of the form:
[% INCLUDE html/something %].
Configuration
The 'splash/config' template defines a 'splash' hash array which contains numerous
configuration items for the Splash library. You must PROCESS this template to ensure that
the hash definition is imported into your calling template. An INCLUDE is not sufficient
as it localises variables and prevents the 'splash' hash array from existing outside the
splash/config template.
[% PROCESS splash/config %]
Alternately, you can define the splash/config template as a PRE_PROCESS item when you
create the Template processor.
use Template;
my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => Template::Config->instdir('templates'),
PRE_PROCESS => 'splash/config',
});
You can modify the default configuration by creating your own PRE_PROCESS config file
which loads the 'splash/config' and then tweaks the settings to your own preferences.
my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => [ '/home/abw/tt2/templates',
Template::Config->instdir('templates') ],
PRE_PROCESS => 'config'
});
/home/abw/tt2/templates/config:
[% # load the 'splash' configuration
PROCESS splash/config;
# tweak values to personal preferences
splash.images = '/~abw/tt2/images/splash'
splash.select.col = 'leaf'
splash.unselect.col = 'bud'
%]
The splash/config file includes some instructional comments on things you might like to
tweak.
Colours
The Splash! library uses the colours defined in the html/rgb template. The 'rgb' hash
defined therein is imported as the 'splash.rgb' hash.
[% INCLUDE splash/box col='grey75' %]
See the examples for further enlightenment on using colour.
Style
There are two very primitive "styles" implemented called "select" and "unselect". These
are used to indicate which item on a menu is selected, for example. Each style defines
characteristics like background colour, font face, size and colour, text alignment, and so
on.
The styles are implemented as hashes within the 'splash' hash. Many of the components
respond to a 'style' variable being set and you can pass a direct reference to
splash.select or splash.unselect (or your own styles). e.g.
[% INCLUDE splash/button
content = "Unselected"
style = splash.unselect
%]
[% INCLUDE splash/button
content ="Selected"
style = splash.select
%]
Alternately, you can use the 'select' variable to indicate either of the inbuilt styles:
splash.select or splash.unselect.
[% INCLUDE splash/button
content = "Unselected"
select = 0
%]
[% INCLUDE splash/button
content = "Selected"
select = 1
%]
COMPONENT TEMPLATES
This section describes some of the component templates in the Splash! library. This
documentation is incomplete and may also be inaccurate in places. The examples in the
'examples' directory are likely to be a much better reference.
