plipp Ginger - getting started ..




This guide will get you started with plipp Ginger
1. Start the installer (/install/install.php).
2. When the installer is complete you need to add a 'location' to the site structure. This location can use any 'page handler' to compile a page, ex. the section manager
(which is included).
3. Edit the config so you direct the default location to the one you added (default 'main').
3. After this you are ready to go. If you need any assistance mail me at [e-mail] or ask me on msn messenger: [e-mail] or icq# 30011882

Templates (ginCode, ginVars)
- The templates are located at templates/<templateName>.
- The main template is called main.htm, this one makes the shell of the page. <g:insert="main"/> inserts generated content,
<g:insert="errors"/> inserts errors.
- To fetch a ginVar to the template you do: <g:$<varType>.<varName>/>.. varType can be lang/error/global/config/post/get.
- To execute a ginCode function you do: <g:$<class>::<function>(<vars>)/>, ex <g:$std::date("H:i", "client")/>
inserts current client time.
- Have a look at the included template 'ginger' to get a better picture of how
to use ginVars and ginCode.
- You can also check ginVars and use parts of a template according to that info: <g:if="<ifStatement>"/> [...] <g:end/> OR <g:else/>
