Function the_content() and loop in Twig templates

Hi there,

First of all, sorry it’s taken so long to reply to you! For some reason, I don’t get notified of new support threads of my plugin!

twigpress_get_the_content() is used to return the content of a post with proper formatting.

When you call the_content() in a normal template, it goes through a stage of formatting (it isn’t stored in the database as you see it on the front-end).

However, the function get_the_content() (which returns rather than echoes) it is returned without the formatting done.

Essentially, twigpress_get_the_content() takes care of formatting the content before returning it to you

I hope this makes sense! If not, let me know and I’ll try and explain it better 🙂

I’ll also work on some code examples, to show how to pass data into Twig templates 🙂

Hey,

No problem! You can use the filter in your functions.php file like any other. It takes, as a parameter, an array of function names already registered which you can alter and then return

function add_functions_to_twig_environment($functions)
{
    return array_merge($functions, array(
        'function_one_name',
        'function_two_name'
    ));
}

add_filter('twigpress_twig_global_functions', 'add_functions_to_twig_environment', 10, 1);

The array is simply an array of function names, which will be made available in your templates

Hope this helps!

Mike
