CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

I am having some problems getting the information I want passed through to my UDTs.

I need to be able to pass information which is generated in smarty tags in the template through to a UDT

for example

I am using the products manager module which is working fine. On the category page there is the grid of products and I want to add a UDT into the template which will display a different button depending on the products attributes.

To do this I need to pass the value of {entry->id} into my UDT {button1 id="?????"} is there a way to do this?

thanks

Rachael

I found the solution whilst reading a totally unrelated forum post!!

add {assign var='product_id' value=$entry->id} into the template just before you call the UDT then in your UDT use

$smarty =& $gCms->getSmarty();
$text = $smarty->get_template_vars('product_id');

Have you read UDT documentation?
Pass your variable in tag (ex: {button1 product_id="yyy"}) and use $params['xxx'] in UDT (ex: $params['product_id'])
