Marek,
I'd suggest using something like the following to use a template based
on hostname:
file { '/path/to/file':
template => $hostname ? {
/regex/ => 'puppet://module/template.erb',
/regex2/ => 'puppet://module/template1.erb',
default => 'puppet://module/default-template.erb',
}
}
This is a more elegant solution than a bunch of if statements, well this
is essentially an if statement as well, just prettier.

Hello
Thank you
Unfortunately this won't help me at the moment because the files are
different completely and not just few parameters. I need different
templates based on hostname.
I am fully aware that I can use "if" but well..ahm.. its ugly :)

Hey Marek,
Templates do have different functionality here - they will
concatenate arrays of templates (i.e. if you pass more than one
template, it concatenates them all together into one file). You
might want to check out the blog on separating data from code
(http://puppetlabs.com/blog/the-problem-with-separating-data-from-puppet-code/)
to see ways that you can specify that piece of data entirely
separate from your puppet code.

Sorry if this has been asked, but Google has failed me and I
haven't been able to find an answer.
With a source one can declare array so that if file exist
puppet will pull it out first, if not move to the next file in
this fashion:
source => ["puppet:///conf/httpd_$hostname.conf",
"puppet:///conf/httpd.conf",
],
To the best of my knowledge one can't do that with a Template (at least
as of 0.24, I am hoping this has changed).
What is the recommended way of dealing with this?
I do know that I can have an "if" statement within a class/module to go
like this:
if $hostname {
content =...
However that isn't as clean as being able to do this from within the same array as
"source". That way instead of keep having to add "if/else" I can simply add a
file as needed.
Thank you!
