[solved] Using Availability Module variables

[mrchristoph]

Hi,

I am trying to incorperate some PHP to strip hyphens and remove the last 4 digits from a string to display image files in a pretty way. The PHP goes like the following:

 

Code: Select all

 $name = str_replace('_',' ',{$field.value}); 
    $name = substr($name,0,-4); 
    echo $name; 

Problem is, the {field.value} is a variable within the Availability module, and no matter what I do I cannot seem to get a UDT to recognise this variable. I have also tried the other way round, putting {php} tags into the Availability template to no avail.

Can someone explain to me the proper way to do this please, I'm going round the bend!

Many Thanks

Well i solved this by creating a UDT with a parameter of item. In the template I call the UDT with the parameter item={$field.value} and hey presto it works!

Hope this can be of some help to people.
