Matthew Weir O'Phinney has created yet another tutorial surrounding the Cgiapp2software and looks this time at something he calls "pluggable applications".

He gives the example of needing a method for creating a well-structured layout in his appication, but also needing a sitewide template to apply to it. Traditional methods don't quite lend themselves to that, so he introduces a new function, cgiapp_postrun, to apply the template after the logic is through.

He includes two examples, one demonstrating the above mentioned situation and the other showing how to make a flexible method for including authentication in only certain parts of the application and not others. Both define a postrun() function to handle the changes to be made after the rest of the logic has finished.

Right on the tails of a new release of the Cgiapp set of libraries, Matthew Weir O'Phinney has posted a first tutorial in a series covering its usage. In this tutorial, he looks at a creating a "template switcher" for Cgiapp2-based applications.

To make it simpler for developers to access this templating system, Matthew created the Cgiapp2_Plugin_Template_Interface, a standardized interface for the template plugins. It's this interface that he demonstrated an example of, giving only a few lines of code (all that's needed) to switch between Smarty and Savant templating systems.
