Variables

integer $_cacheTimeout = 0 (line 37)

cache timeout (seconds).

template selector

If you want to use a template for your zone, set its name in this property in your zone, and override _prepareTpl. Else, keep it to empty string, and override _createContent

access: protected

Redefined in descendants as:

check_installZone::$_tplname

string $_tplOuputType = '' (line 64)

says the type of the output of the template, in the case of the result of the zone is not used in a response in the same output type.

For example, the output type of a ajax response is text, but the template can contains html, so the template should be treated as html content, so you should put 'html' here. If empty, the output type will be the output type of the current response.
