Is it possible to use the EE Tagging system in a custom module’s control panel interface?

I’m trying take advantage of those tags. Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi, jan - welcome to the forums!

The control panel is not intended to be used for template tag output, so no, this is not possible.

ONLY FOR EE2

Since the Control Panel does not initialize the template parser, you have to do that yourself.
```
if (class_exists('EE_Template') == FALSE) require APPPATH.'libraries/Template'.EXT;
$this->EE->TMPL = new EE_Template();
```
You first need to define the template type and parse the string.. And you are golden
```
$this->EE->TMPL->template_type = 'webpage';
$this->EE->TMPL->parse($str);
$final = $this->EE->TMPL->final_template;
```
It should work..
