Common errors - vlibTemplate beginners

[ClausVB]

This post describes
PEBKAU (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And User)
(or was it PEBKAC ... C = Chair???)

However if you encounter:

Fatal error: vlibTemplate Error: Parse error!
To debug this file, use vlibTemplateDebug instead of vlibTemplate in the class instantiation(i.e. new vlibTemplateDebug). in /usr/local/www/htdocs/vLib/vlibTemplate/error.php on line 84

it could be

Code: [Select]

tmpl_loop name='tr'

  tr

      tdtmpl_var name='name'/td

      tdtmpl_var name='city'/td

  tr

tmpl_loop // wrong

if your template variables are not set ...

it could be
=> {tmpl_var_name='name'} // wrong
instead of
{tmpl_var name='name'} // right

Explanation: I lead a training in Templating (with vlibTemplate).

I never imagined what people can do wrong.

In Germany we use to say:

"A person, who can read, has an advantage."

A collegue of mine (participating in the training) said: "It's too complicated."

I just thought: "No, you're too stupid." (He made both mistakes twice! :evil: .)

@Kelvin: Now I know what happens if Frontpage-Users meet vlibTemplate.

I feel for you.

I don't think I would ever risk the torment of leading a training session on templating.

Well done for trying anyway!

Guess what he did today ...

Code: [Select]

tmpl_var name='name'

"Did we wrote '{tmpl_var ...' yesterday? I think there was something like that ... Let's not ask or read the docs, .. no let's try and cry for help later."

RAAAAAAHHHHH!

(My other participants are quite good though.)
