β 𧱠Mandatory Template & Controller Conventions (Modula MDK)
These rules are mandatory for every Modula system or feature built using the MDK architecture.
πΉ 1. Controller Rules (PHP)
Every controller file must include:
β At the top:
require('bootstrap.php');
user_access(); // β
Ensure user is logged inβ To render the page:
page_header("Marketplace");
page_footer("marketplace"); // β
This also renders the templateβ οΈ Do not use
$smarty->display(). It's automatically handled by page_footer("...").πΉ 2. Smarty .tpl Rules (Template Files)
All .tpl files must behave like modular components — not standalone HTML pages.
β Always start with:
{include file='_head.tpl'}
{include file='_header.tpl'}
β Always end with:
{include file='_footer.tpl'}β Never include:
<html>
<head>
<body>β οΈ These are handled globally by Sngine's layout system. Including them will break the layout.
