Hi all,
I have a situation where I want to use the same template to create
two different files in two different classes. I''ve tried to lookup
some information on what is possible with templates, how advanced you
can get, but haven''t found much. I guess it''s one of the areas
where
I should contribute to the docs - once I figured out what I can do,
that is... ;-)
Ex:
foobar.pp:
----------
class foo {
file { "/etc/foofile":
content => template("template.erb"),
}
}
class bar {
file { "/etc/barfile":
content => template("template.erb"),
}
}
template.erb:
-------------
<% if name.include? "foofile" -%>
This is foofile
<% else -%>
This is barfile
<% end -%>
I''m not a big ruby hacker - yet ;-) I know that I can test the
contents of a variable with "variablename.include?". But can I access
the "name" of the calling file...?

Just set a variable specially in each class before you call the template. -- Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn''t there.

After loking through all 37 Pages that where returned when I searched for "variable" in "Wiki" I seem to have to alter the question somewhat: How (as in "by what syntax") are type-parameters and their values accessible as variables in templates and classes?> -- > Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as > one goes on. -- Samuel Butler > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Puppet-users mailing list > Puppet-users@madstop.com > https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users >

The former are essentially inaccessible, but the latter behave like any other variable and thus are accessed like any other. -- Risk! Risk anything!

It could be added if there were sufficient demand, but it would never be as straightforward as it is in the language. -- A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. -- George Bernard Shaw --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com
