ZNC Templating

ZNC Templating

These are my notes on templating for ZNC. I (jakoch) made them while creating the "znc-ation" skin. I had to figure the stuff out by reading the C source or asking around. Its a work in progress and others should/may contribute and enhance the pieces of information provided here. I hope it saves you some time, when doing templates for ZNC.

All template commands are placed in shorttags: <? ... ?>.

How to print a variable on template side?

<? VAR variablename ?>

Comparisons and Expressions

There are the following comparisons and expressions available:

IF AND (&&)

<? IF varA && varB ?> BOOLEAN AND <? ENDIF ?>

IF OR (||)

Example usage on form input fields: <? IF !variablename ?> disabled="disabled" <? ENDIF ?>
