phileRender
===========

[](#philerender)

Render the content of a page by passing it's URL.

**This plugin requires that you use Twig for your template engine**

### 1.1 Installation (composer)

[](#11-installation-composer)

```
php composer.phar require phile/render:*

```

### 1.2 Installation (Download)

[](#12-installation-download)

- Install [Phile](https://github.com/PhileCMS/Phile)
- Clone this repo into `plugins/phile/render`

### 2. Activation

[](#2-activation)

After you have installed the plugin. You need to add the following line to your `config.php` file:

```
$config['plugins']['phile\\render'] = array('active' => true);

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

There will now be a new twig function called `render`. It takes a URL to a page, and renders the HTML for it!

#### Basic Examples:

[](#basic-examples)

The path is the same as the way we load pages via URLs.

Let's say we have a page at `content/special.md`, then we will use:

```
{{ render('special') }}
```

This will render the HTML of the `special` page.

Let's say we have a page at `content/sub/special-nested.md`, then we will use:

```
{{ render('sub/special-nested') }}
```

This will render the HTML of the `sub/special-nested` page.

#### Conditional Examples

[](#conditional-examples)

In the config file you can set conditionals so you don't load a page that may not be setup for loading in this way.

```
return array(
  'conditional_checks' => array(
    'template' => 'partial',
    'role' => 'custom'
  )
);
```

This conditional means: only load pages that have a template of 'partial' and a role that is 'custom'. We can use *any custom meta* for the conditionals. We can also use multiple key => values for checking as you can see from the example.

### Errors

[](#errors)

This plugin will fail silently if no page is found, or the conditional is not met.
