NewCity Timber Extensions

This Wordpress plugin pre-sets some common configuration options for Timber and Twig. It also creates a new post class, NC_TimberPost, that extends the default TimberPost class with commonly-needed functions and properties. When writing new TimberPost classes, you should extend NC_TimberPost instead of the default TimberPost class., _(*1)

Settings

• Enables Timber caching and moves the cache directory to wp-content/uploads/timber-cache (required on Pantheon for filesystem write-access)
• Expands the locations that Timber will seek Twig templates and partials. Any .twig file placed inside either the /templates or /partials directory will be detected, no matter how many directories deep it may be.

Filters

• |quoteswap( $mode[optional] )
  Changes all curly double-quotes to curly single quotes. Useful for nesting quotes.
  You can also pass a $mode argument of s_to_d to change single quotes to double. This is not usually adviseable, since the filter doesn't currently know the different between single quotes and apostrophes.
• |print_r
  Mimics the PHP print_r function, returning a formatted array or object wrapped in a <pre> tag for easier reading.

NC_TimberPost

• post.ancestors
  Returns an array of post IDs for all ancestors of the current (hierarchical) page or post, starting with the top-level ancestor and ending with the post's direct parent. If the post has no ancestors, this returns false.
• post.ancestors( $pos )
  Passing an integer to post.ancestors returns a single post ID of the ancestor $pos steps removed from the current post. For example, post.ancestors(1) would return the current post's parent, and post.ancestors(2) would return its grandparent.
  A position of 0 will return the top-level ancestor, as will passing any value greater than the total number of ancestors.
• post.top_ancestor
  Shorthand for post.ancestors(0)
• post.breadcrumbs
  Returns an array of objects containing information about the current post's ancestors, suitable for building a breadcrumb navigation list. Each object contains the following values:
  • title: the title of the page/post
  • ID: The post ID of the page/post
  • url: The permalink to the page/post
