Examples

Small example

The following example shows a possible implementation of the theme:

<?php

    include("../src/semmelsamu/giga/index.php");

    $theme = new Giga();

    // Using output buffering to get the HTML code:
    ob_start(); 
    
?>

<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>This is a possible implementation of the theme.</p>

<?php 

    // The theme should be displayed:
    $theme->show = true;
    // Writing the buffer to the content:
    $theme->content = ob_get_clean();

    // Rendering the theme:
    $theme->render();
    
?>

Working with templates

If you e.g. want to always have the same navigation and footer bar in every page, templates will do the job. One possible solution would be to work with a default file which you always include, and then to overwrite the content in the respective page:

default_content.php:

<?php

    $theme->show = true;
    $theme->main_title = "Giga Theme";
    $theme->nav__left = "<li>Website Title</li>";
    $theme->footer = "<p>Copyright MMXX...</p>";

?>

site.php:

<?php

    include("../src/semmelsamu/giga/index.php");

    $theme = new Giga();

    include("default_content.php");

    ob_start(); 
    
?>

<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>This is a possible implementation of templates.</p>

<?php 

    $theme->content = ob_get_clean();

    $theme->render();
    
?>
