Test templates without breaking the frontend

  Previous article Next article  

You need to do some tests at your website, but you don't want to break the frontend for the visitors.
A simple solution using Smarty.

  How to use

Your current IP address is: 13.59.139.202
This way only you will see the template vars:

{if $smarty.server.REMOTE_ADDR == '13.59.139.202'}
  {get_template_vars}
{/if}

<!-- The template content -->

Another example, testing a module like CGFeedback without letting it show to the public.

<!-- The template content -->

{if $smarty.server.REMOTE_ADDR == '13.59.139.202'}
  {CGFeedback key1=$foo key2=$bar}
{/if}

This content is only visible at the frontend when you are logged in into the Admin, it is hidden for regular visitors.

{$uid = get_userid(FALSE)}
{if $uid > 0}
 {get_template_vars}
{/if}

<-- The template content -->
