I'm new to Joomla.
I'm having a small doubt coming to creating Joomla templates. In the file structure provided by joomla I can see only index.php file. My doubt is can we create a Joomla template using HTML also. so that in the file structure it reads index.html.
Thanks in Advance and Merry Christmas.
It is important here to distinguish between "can" and "should" here. I believe you "can" make a template in an html file without losing all of the Joomla functionality because Joomla places modules using tags like <jdoc:include type="modules" name="user4" /> which it will parse. I'm not positive, but fairly certain that the template does require a php to bootstrap it, but you could just have the php file include the html you want to use. The major drawback is that you will be losing all of the php helper methods that Joomla makes available for you, like JURI::base() for dealing with paths for your scripts/css, etc.
You definitely should take advantage of Joomla's capabilities with php, so use the php file. If you want to include some html files into that document, that's just fine.
I don't think you can do that. The index.php file you are referring to is the root index file, while each template has its own index.php file inside their folder inside templates folder. For example templates/beez3/index.php Joomla includes the index.php file of the chosen template during it's execution cycle. Failing to find such a file it will fall back to a preinstalled template throwing an error: The template for this display is not available. Also the frontend requests start by loading the root index.php file first and then proceed to other calls and <jdoc:include type="component" /> won't load anything as it won't have any framework loaded or any joomla functionality at all. Finally no extension will work since they all require the _JEXEC constant to be defined as it's being defined in the root index.php file:
/**
* Constant that is checked in included files to prevent direct access.
* define() is used in the installation folder rather than "const" to not error for PHP 5.2 and lower
*/
define('_JEXEC', 1);
It must be written in php and you can certainly keep your theme that you created within the template folder, as for keeping .html you can always use htaccess to serve whichever extension you want.

I first met html-minifier today after running a small site I've created using Hugo through Google PageSpeed.
First thing I noticed is that although it does have recursion capabilities it stops working on unsupported files like images (my speakers started beeping and I freaked a little)
I've found this stack showing an apparently undocumented command-line option --file-ext
That worked perfectly but in the output directory, I noticed that the folders with the unmatching contents were gone.
From the directory root, I saw it was Hugo's folders for CSS, JS, images and Github Pages' CNAME file. Not only I can't tell for sure there's not even one piece of static file in any of the folders Hugo generated (you may know that Hugo is sometimes unpredictable) but also I would like to keep language specific XML Sitemaps I've created for some specific folders.
Long story short, is there a way to copy-over unmatching files "as is", keeping input directory ready for a commit/push?
After analyzing the whole directory structure I could be sure that within all the directory structure Hugo creates there are nothing more than HTML and XML files so then the Ockham's Razor took place.
Since both my Hugo's source code and output contents are in totally different directories, it was a simple matter of pointing the output directory to the same path of the input directory.
All HTML files are minified, overwriting those Hugo generated.
After basic knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS and Jquery, I got myself into WordPress. In order to save time and not build things from zero, I would use pre-made templates, and modify them according to the built of the desired future webpage. There might be a huge misconception in my head, but so far I havent found reply for this solution.
I have a locally running WordPress webpage with the help of WAMP. My webpage would consist 3 separate HTML files, lets say "index.html, contact.html, about.html". My issue is that after generating those pages in WordPress, I dont find any way to modify the HTML file of those sites. Nor locally in my computer, nor in the surface of WordPress. I found the "editor" function in WP, but apparently it lets me to edit only the CSS file.
My main goal is to generate the file with a template, than import it to BRACKETS / ATOM / etc and custom-shape the HTML and CSS on it. What am I missing ?
Thanks,
Wordpress only has templates it uses according to the type of content (page, blog post or any other custom post type you define in the theme) requested. All your actual data is stored in the mysql database. This data is retrieved and inserted into the template and then the generated file is sent to the client. So, you wont find any .html files in the wordpress core. My suggestion is to view the source in the browser, copy, paste and edit in your favourite editor.
I think you are using HTML files as a template which are not dynamically converted into wordpress theme. that's why you can't edit these files. You need to follow these steps.
1. your index file must be in index.php not index.html
2. style.css file with valid codes and most important thing is you need to know wordpress theme development. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-files/ This will help you
Include HTML files with blade
Can I include a .html file in stead of .php with Laravel 4 Blade?
My code:
#include('emails.templates.file')
//file is email.html
file is automatically a .php file..
While #PHPWeblineindia's solution worked for you, it's not really the Laravel way.
However, you can do what you want by telling Laravel's view system to also consider .html files. By default it looks for .blade.php files, and then falls back to .php files. You can add .html to the searched extensions by adding the following somewhere in your bootstrapping code:
// tells the view finder to look for `.html` files and run
// them through the normal PHP `include` process
View::addExtension('html', 'php');
This will actually put HTML as the highest priority, so make sure you don't have two different views called the same thing with different extensions.
If its an external file then can you please try this:
<?php include app_path() . '/views/<path_to_layout/emails>/file.html'; ?>
Let me know if its still an issue.
I'm using PhpStorm (and love it!), but the coding standard for my current project uses 4 space indents for .php files and 2 space indents for template files (.phtml). The template files are traditional php and HTML. Our code implements a standard Zend Framwork MVC setup.
Is there a way to configure PhpStorm to use one set of code style settings for *.php files and a different set of code style settings for *.phtml files?
Setting::File Type didn't work
I've tried associating .phtml files with the HTML file type, but that causes me to lose ALL php language assistance (no PHP syntax highlighting, no code assist, etc.).
Settings::Template Data Languages didn't work
I also looked for a solution using the the Template Data Languages setting. I setup my .phtml files to the File Type HTML, but PHP isn't an available setting, so it appears there is no way to add php language support for HTML files.
AFAIK it is not possible.
If you want to have PHP support, file extension has to be associated with PHP file type. That's the only way to have PHP support as PHP is not injectable language in current PhpStorm version/implementation.
You may utilize TextMate bundles support plugin and install PHP supported highlighting there. This will allow to assign .phtml extension to another file type. The drawback is that you can only have one language highlighting .. so HTML will not be highlighted + no code completion for actual PHP (that's as far as my simple experiments went with other not-yet-supported languages).
I have a few HTML files that I'd like to include via tags in my webapp.
Within some of the files, I have pseudo-dynamic code - specially formatted bits of text that, at runtime, I'd like to be resolved to their respective bits of data in a MySQL table.
For instance, the HTML file might include a line that says:
Welcome, [username].
I want this resolved to (via a logged-in user's data):
Welcome, user#domain.com.
This would be simple to do in a JSP file, but requirements dictate that the files will be created by people who know basic HTML, but not JSP. Simple text-tags like this should be easy enough for me to explain to them, however.
I have the code set up to do resolutions like that for strings, but can anyone think of a way to do it across files? I don't actually need to modify the file on disk - just load the content, modify it, and output it w/in the containing JSP file.
I've been playing around with trying to load the files into strings via the apache readFileToString, but I can't figure out how to load files from a specific folder within the webapp's content directory without hardcoding it in and having to worry about it breaking if I deploy to a different system in the future.

If those files are located in the webcontent, use ServletContext#getRealPath() to convert a relative web path to an absolute disk file system path. This works if the WAR is exploded in the appserver (most does it by default, only Weblogic doesn't do that by default, but this is configureable IIRC). Inside servlets you can obtain the ServletContext by the inherited getServletContext() method.
String relativeWebappURL = "/html/file.html";
String absoluteFilePath = getServletContext().getRealPath(relativeWebappURL);
File file = new File(absoluteFilePath);
// ...
Alternatively, you can put it in the classpath of the webapplication and make use of ClassLoader#getResource():
String relativeClasspathURL = "/html/file.html";
URL absoluteClasspathURL = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(relativeClasspathURL);
File file = new File(absoluteClasspathURL.toURI());
// ...
As to the complete picture, I question if you have ever considered an existing templating framework like Freemarker or Velocity to ease all the job?
