Create a template file called viewtest.tpl in your app/Views directory:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{data:title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>A unique ID {data:uid}</p>
<p>The date is {date:jS F Y}</p>
<p>Your IP: {server:REMOTE_ADDR}</p>
<p>Your user agent string: <input value="{escape[server:HTTP_USER_AGENT]}"></p>
</body>
</html>
To output the view to the user, add the following method to your controller:
<?php
public function viewtest() {
/*
* ================================
* Set up an array of the data that
* you want to pass into your view
* ================================
*/
$arrData = array(
'title' => 'My test view',
'uid' => uniqid()
);
/*
* ================================
* Pass the array into the standard
* view method and return it to the
* user
* ================================
*/
return $this -> _view( 'viewtest.tpl', $arrData );
}
After registering the controller, visiting the page /viewtest in your browser should now display the above template, populated with your data.
