[Solved] How to pass params between EventManager UDTs ?

I am using a 3rd party module (one of the forums), it has a number of events. In event manager I have assigned to each event two UDTs. The first is the code specific to that event. The second is the code that is generic to all events - so I want this second UDT to be executed by all events.

No problems so far - easy to set this up in EventManager. To illustrate:

Event: OnNewTopic
- UDT1=newTopic
- UDT2=forumEventHandler

Event: OnReply
- UDT1=newReply
- UDT2=forumEventHandler

I need to pass one small string parameter from the first UDT to the second. Though perhaps that in the first UDT I could set a Smart template variable like so:

Code:

global $gCms;
$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
$smarty->assign('forum_mode', 'OnNewTopic');

then in second UDT get it via:

Code:

global $gCms;
$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
$tpl_vars = $smarty->get_template_vars(); 
$tpl_vars['forum_mode']

But this doesn't work. Tried var_dumping $tpl_vars and $smarty. Not there. Any suggestions. Worst case I will have to duplicate the code that is in the second UDT in all of the first UDTs.

Thanks for your help

Setting $smarty->get_template_vars(); does work. it was my testing method that was incorrect. duh!!
