CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello you,

I've got a User Defined Tag thats called {category_get}, it gets a category name like "Shirts".
Now i've got a tag from Products wich is {Products category={category_get} }

How can i make this work, because apparently you can't put 2 Tags within eachother.
Do you got a solution for this problem?

Gr. Job

You can use the smarty function capture:

Another way is to edit your UDT a little, to let it pass a smarty variable to your page. See the bottom of this page for an example:

Modify your udt and output the udt values to a smarty variable

http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/api.assign.tpl

so you can use something like

... or more cleanly, pass the variable name to the UDT.

The smarty call:

{category_get assign=categories}
{Products category=$categories}

In the UDT:

$smarty->assign($params['assign'], $category_data);

..assuming that $category_data contains the return info in the UDT.
