Extended Template Parts

Extended CPTs is a library which provides extended functionality to WordPress template parts, including template variables and caching.

Features

  • Pass variables into your template parts and access them via the $this->vars array. No polluting of globals!
  • Easy optional caching of template parts using transients.

Minimum Requirements

PHP: 5.4
WordPress: 4.4

Usage

Extended Template Parts is a developer library, not a plugin, which means you need to include it somewhere in your own plugin or theme:

require_once 'extended-template-parts/extended-template-parts.php';

The get_extended_template_part() function behaves exactly like WordPress' get_template_part() function, except it loads the template part from the template-parts subdirectory of the theme for better file organisation. Thus, the usual parent/child theme hierarchy is of course respected. In addition, it accepts two optional parameters for passing variables into the template part, and for passing arguments to the function.

get_extended_template_part( 'foo', 'bar' );

The above code behaves exactly the same as get_template_part(), except it loads the template part from the template-parts subdirectory. To pass in variables to the template part, to change the subdirectory that's used, and to automatically cache the output for an hour in a transient, try the following code:

get_extended_template_part( 'foo', 'bar', array(
	'my_variable' => 'Hello, world!',
), array(
	'dir'   => 'my_directory',
	'cache' => 3600,
) );
