Calling a User Defined Tag from another one

[jsmonzani]

Hello,

I love developing User Defined Tags and I'm wondering: is there a way to call a User Defined Tag (and pass parameters to it) within another one? Or to call smarty within a USD?

Thank you very much for your help!

Cheers

USD?

I found this topic on smarty in UDT.

Thank you Ronny, this surely helps!

I don't think that this really shows how to pass parameters, though, but I'll give it a try

Say if you have something like:

{myusd  param="42"}

how would this translate to PHP code?

Hm couldn't find this out. I'm sure somebody has already done it

You can call a UDT from inside another UDT using CallUserTag()

For example .... to pass the hat style of the day to my handy UDT 'hats' I would do:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;

$params['style']="boater";

$tagOps = $gCms->GetUserTagOperations();
$tagOps->CallUserTag("hats",$params);
