UDT, news andy extra field for album
Hello,
I want to make something like that:
I want to add filed like "album_number" where I want to place album number to this news.
Hello,
In my news template I insert:
Code: Select all
{if isset($entry->album_number)}
{show_me_the_album number="$entry->album_number"}
{/if}
And it's not working

Not sure what you are after here, but to display a specific photo Album you would use
{cms_module module="album" albums="1"}
Where '1' is the album id created by the album module.
If you want to use a smarty variable you have to capture it and use that instead of the '1'
Hope this helps

No, no
1. I added one extra field in News module named "album"
2. I want to put in this field the album number what I want to show
3. I want to generate at the end of news code {cms_module module="album" albums="[number of album I putted in my extra field in News module]"}
uff...
Hope you understand me now

Well as long as the variable you have is a number and the Album exists you should be fine? As I said, I think you would still need to capture your News (album id) variable in Smarty for use in the Album tag?

Exactly,
I need capture album id from extra field in news module, compile smarty tag with parameter (with UDT) and show this all at the end of the article.

If you have created new field definition "album_number" of type "Text Input" insert
Code: Select all
{if !empty($entry->album_number)}
{cms_module module="album" albums=$entry->album_number}
{/if}
to news detail template
