toHtml()

Parse HTML in various ways. eg. replace constants, convert bbcode etc.

		$tp->toHtml(string, bbcodes, type);
$tp->toHtml("<strong class="bbcode bold bbcode-b bbcode-b-page">Bold print</strong>", true, 'BODY'); // Example

toDate()

Convert a unix timestamp into a readable format.

		$tp->toDate(unixDatestamp, format);

toText()

Convert html to plain text.

		$tp->toText(string);

createConstants()

Convert e_xxxxx paths to their equivalent shortcodes. eg. e_PLUGIN becomes {e_PLUGIN}

		$tp->createConstants(string);

replaceConstants()

Convert {e_XXXX} shortcode paths to their equivalent constants. eg. {e_PLUGIN} becomes e_PLUGIN

		$tp->replaceConstants(string);

parseTemplate()

Parse an e107 template using core and/or custom shortcodes. ie. replaces all instances of {XXXXX_XXXX} etc.

		$tp->parseTemplate(template, use core shortcodes, custom shortcodes);

thumbUrl()

Use to convert {e_MEDIA_IMAGE} and other image paths to an auto-sized image path for use inside an img tag.

		$url = "{e_MEDIA_IMAGE}2012-04/someimage.jpg";
$image = $tp->thumbUrl($url);
echo "<img src='".$image."' />

setThumbSize()

Set the width, height and crop of the thumbUrl function.

		$tp->setThumbSize($width, $height, $crop);

toGlyph()

Convert a glyph name into Html. Just choose an icon from font-awesome and remove the first 'fa'
Templates may also use the following shortcode: which calls the same function.

		$tp->toGlyph("fa-anchor");

Advanced settings:

		$tp->toGlyph("fa-anchor", array('size'=>'2x'));

toIcon()

Render an icon. If a .glyph extension is found, it will automatically use the toGlyph() function above.

		$iconPath = "{e_MEDIA}myicon.png";
$tp->toIcon($iconPath);

toAvatar()

Render a user avatar. If empty, the current user's avatar will be displayed if found or a generic avatar image.

		echo $tp->toAvatar(); // render avatar of the current user. 

		$userData = e107::user(5);  // Get User data for user-id #5. 
echo $tp->toAvatar($userData); // requires as a minimum $userData['user_image'].

toImage()

Render an image.

		$url = "{e_MEDIA_IMAGE}2012-04/someimage.jpg";
$parms = array('w'=>500, 'h'=>200,'crop'=>1, 'alt'=>'my image'); // if not width/height set, the default as set by {SETIMAGE} will be used.
echo $tp->toImage($url,$parms);
