Cataloger use $page_alias as alias parameter

[kneep]

Hi there, I'm using the Cataloger module (0.11.3) in combination with CMS MS 1.11.4 and want to use the variable $page_alias from the CMS as the alias parameter for the Cataloger module. This is the code i'm using in a template:

Code: Select all

{Cataloger action='random' sub_template='previews_klein' count='6' alias='/'}

But instead of alias='/' i want to use alias='$page_alias', but i have tried several options ({eval var=$page_alias}) but none of them worked.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? thanks in advance!

Did you try:

Code: Select all

{Cataloger action='random' sub_template='previews_klein' count='6' alias=$page_alias}

Thanks for the reply, i solved it in another way by using the sub templates.

Do you have any idea if it is possible to add an input text field to the images tab for adding alt-text to each image different?
Hope someone has an idea for that!

If you take a close look at the sub-templates you will find something like:

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:repl('{$image_url_array[ind]}')"><img src="{$image_thumb_url_array[ind]}" title="{$title}" alt="{$title}" /></a>

If {$title} is not what you are after you can create a custom field and use it instead of {$title}.Or add ind on alt like this

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:repl('{$image_url_array[ind]}')"><img src="{$image_thumb_url_array[ind]}" title="{$title}" alt="{$title}_{$smarty.section.ind.index}" /></a>

I corrected my original reply as the code wasn't correct. It should be ok now...
