CMS Made Simple Forums

Hey,

I've been doing some reading up on Smarty tags and I understand that you can use them like:

{php} some php code {/php}

However, how can I take {$node->accesskey} and feed that var into a php smarty tag?

it's probably better to use a UDT, which can have params passed to it.

Read about them here:

there's a function in smarty called get_template_vars

Cool, had a read of that, but how would I use it? $node->get_template_vars?

No, use:
{get_template_vars}

This stamp all note smarty variables.
If there are Array variables, you can check with:
{$your_array|print_r}

Alby

in php code you would:

Ok, what if the var is:

$node = $smarty->get_template_vars('node');
print_r( $node );

Cool thanks!

This is all very helpful to me right now--I'm creating a user-defined tag...but there's something maddengly basic about getting to the values of the array I'm not getting here. I'm using this test code: I get the array dump, but I get nothing for the array value after that. I've looked into the php syntax and it all seems right...so could someone clue me on what I'm doing wrong thanks.

have you tried if $node is an object (you can test with is_object  )
then the array syntax may give you grief.

Yes--that's it. I learn so much in this forum!

thanks!
