TinyButStrong: including a file dynamically

Question

How would you set an include file dynamically from a set variables in a php file?

<body>
    {onload;file={tplvar.absopath}}
</body>

So, once the template is loaded, $tbs->LoadTemplate($tpl) the file should produce the html built on the file absopath points to.

The word is "you're" as in "you are", not "your" as in "ownership". Btw, if anyone's at fault here, it's you. I have nothing to feel guilty about. Or, which "Kevin" am I speaking with here?

Parameter file can insert the contents of a file inside the TBS template.

Examples

PHP side:

$filename = 'header.html';

Template side:

[onload;file=[var.filename]]

what if the $filename='header.html' is defined inside of a block? – Kevin Wiggins Mar 05 '18 at 23:20
i guess you could expose the $filename to a global space but is there a way to send that filename with the template? versus giving it global access? – Kevin Wiggins Mar 05 '18 at 23:30
`[onload;file=[var.filename]] ` will be merged when the template is loaded, that is before any MergeBlock(). This is better for performance. While `[onshow;file=[var.filename]] ` will be merged before Show(), that is after any MergeBlock(). – Skrol29 Mar 06 '18 at 23:19
In the snippet, `$filename` is supposed to be a global variable. But you can use local variables using VarRef. See http://www.tinybutstrong.com/manual.php#php_varref – Skrol29 Mar 06 '18 at 23:22

If you have a variable containing a filename, then you can use that with require or include (with or without _once).

For example:

<?php
$template = __DIR__.'/templates/header.php';
require_once $template;

sort of thing.

This would be an extremely crude way of including a template file, but it is as simple as you can get.

Check the edits. I need to dynamically create the include once the template is loaded from a tinybutstrong class object – Mar 05 '18 at 22:29
