unless the 4th dimension really exist, the problem is elsewhere.

  I corrected that, but still no tekst shows up in my resultpage.

<?php
 class ClientProjectSelect extends ClientPlugin {
     public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
             $foo='My foo text comes here';
             $template->assign('projectSelect',$foo);
         }
     }

Milo,

It seems that you did not defined your foo variable and you use it in your 
function :
 <?php
 class ClientProjectSelect extends ClientPlugin {
     public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
         $some_variable = 'foo';
         $foo='I forget to define my variable';<-----------------------------
             $template->assign('projectSelect',$foo);
         }
     }
 ?>

Regard,

Y.

  Hello list!

Thanks again for the many helping hands. I managed to get one step further.
Right now I have implemented the renderForm function as described below.
It doesn't generate errors anymore, but foo doesn't show..

when you visit http://82.176.214.209/cartoweb/webGIS.php; foo should be
displayed just beneath the Cartoclient Title. In the source of the page
it says
"<!--this is where foo should be -->"
and
"<!-- end of foo -->"

Between these two lines of comment, my cartoclient.tpl contains
{$projectSelect}


My plugin code is now:

<?php
class ClientProjectSelect extends ClientPlugin {
    public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
        $some_variable = 'foo';
            $template->assign('projectSelect',$foo);
        }
    }
?>

In my client.ini, cases are as described: projectSelect
Where else can I look to get "foo" displayed?

    an error occured in your plugin, line 19, and something was outputed
very early in the operation flow, with the result nothing is displayed.

be sure you dont have a blank space at the beginning of your plugin code

first of all, you should user proper naming for plugin filename and
classname, respectively, "ClientProjectSelect.php" and "class
ClientProjectSelect .." (notice the uppercase P), it stay
"projectSelect" in the client.ini

to simply output something in the main template, you can do:

public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
    $some_variable = 'foo';
    $template->assign('target_name_in_cartoclient_tpl', $some_variable);
}
and it should display 'foo' where you have
{$target_name_in_cartoclient_tpl} in the cartoclient.tpl

to load a template from your plugin templates folder, you need to do
as Yves said:

public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
    $smarty = new Smarty_Plugin($this->getCartoclient(), $this);
    $foo = 'foo';
    $bar = 'bar';
    $smarty->assign(array('var1' => $foo, 'var2' => $bar)); // if you
have {$foo} and {$bar} in your plugin template
    $plugin_template = $smarty->fetch('your_plugin_template.tpl');
    $template->assign('target_name_in_cartoclient_tpl',
$plugin_template); // finally pass the whole plugin template to the
main cartoclient.tpl
}

try the simply example above

regards
Oliver

    Wow,

    Thank you for the fast response on a sunday evening! Seems I am
    not the only addict here ;-)

    I indeed meant the cartoclient.tpl, correct.
    I do not need an ini just yet, I just want to let cartoweb display
    this plugin template content for me. I took over a project from a
    guy doing an internship. He messed things up a bit by hacking into
    the highest directories for cartoweb. I am trying to do it right
    this time.

    I have now changed my ClientprojectSelect.php (name of my plugin) to
    <?php
    class ClientprojectSelect extends ClientPlugin
    {
    protected function drawprojectSelect() {
        $smarty = new Smarty_Plugin($this->getCartoclient(), $this);
        return $smarty->fetch('projectSelect.tpl');
    }

    public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
         $projectSelect_active = $this->getConfig()->projectSelectActive;
         $template->assign(array('prjectSelect_active' =>
    $projectSelect_active));
         if ($projectSelect_active)
             $template->assign('projectSelect',
    $this->drawprojectSelect());
        }
    }

    ?>


    All I want it to do is display the content of the tpl, but now I
    am getting headers not sent info..

    Please see the error messages I am getting now:
    http://82.176.214.209/cartoweb/webGIS.php

    What am I doing wrong?

            Hello list,

    I am trying to write a simple, static plugin that displays a
dropdownbox on the cartoweb GUI, for now it doesn't have to do
anything. I just want to check if I am capable of taking the first
steps in writing plugins.

    I did the following:

    I created the required directories:

    <myProject>/plugins/myplugin
    <myProject>/plugins/myplugin/client
    <myProject>/plugins/myplugin/templates

    in client I created a file Clientmyplugin.php
    in templates I created a file myplugin.tpl

    In the myplugin.tpl I have the following code:

    <div id="mypluginSelect">
    <SELECT NAME="myplugin_select">
    <OPTION VALUE="">
    <OPTION VALUE="1"> Project 1
    <OPTION VALUE="2"> Project 2
    <OPTION VALUE="3"> Project 3
    </SELECT>
    </div>

    As you can see, it is very static.

    In Clientmyplugin.php I have the following code:

    class Clientmyplugin extends ClientPlugin
    implements Sessionable, GuiProvider
    {

        /* here comes your plugin client class definition */

    }


    In the client.ini.in; I added myplugin to the loadplugins= line

    In my customized cartoclient.php I added

    {if $myplugin_active|default:''}
       {$myplugin}
       {/if}

    As you can see, I just want cartoclient to load the dropdown when
it starts up.

    Problems I run in to:

    - Setting the activation parameter for a plugin in cartoclient.php
is not documented
    - A simple method in the client to parse the template to
cartoclient.php is not documented

    Is there anybody that can help me with these simple steps?
              Hi,

    First of all, I think you mean cartoclient.tpl instead of
cartoclient.php ;)

    A simple methode to parse the template could be something like :
       /**
        * @see GuiProvider::renderForm()
        */
        public function renderForm(Smarty $template) {
            // authentification
            $editRoles = $this->getArrayFromIni('general.allowedRoles',
true); $allowed = SecurityManager::getInstance()->hasRole($editRoles);
$smarty = new Smarty_Plugin($this->getCartoclient(), $this);
$smarty->assign(array('manager_allowed' => $allowed,
'layersManagerMessage' => $this->Message));
$template->assign('layersManager',
    $smarty->fetch('layersManager.tpl'));
        }
    /************************************
    'layersManager' was the name of the plugin where I took this
function. 'manager_allowed' and 'layersManagerMessage' are two variable
you can send to the template file via smarty function  (assign function
first define some variable you can use into the template file then it
assign variable to the template file)

    You will need this function :
        /**
         * Returns an array from a comma-separated list of a ini
parameter. * @param string name of ini parameter
         * @param boolean (default: false) true: returns a simplified
array * @return array
         */
        protected function getArrayFromIni($name, $simple = false) {
            $data = $this->getConfig()->$name;
            if (!$data) return array();

            return $this->getArrayFromList($data, $simple);
        }

    Which allow you to get parameter from your myPlugin.ini file (don't
seem you need it yet ;)

    Hope this will help you. You can drop an eye to the cw3 plugins to
get some information. If you read the french, you can drop an eye as
well to the cartoweb-community?net, documentation chapter, I begin to
write something about developing a plugin ionto cw3.

    Finally, I don't understand this :
            - Setting the activation parameter for a plugin in cartoclient.php
is not documented
              Regards,

    Y.
