CGBlog & Gallery

[JohnnyNM]

I think I've reached my wits end!

I'm trying to feed a variable to Gallery from a CGBlog detail template.

The variable 'GalleryName' concatenates ok, and it prints to the page fine, however the 'dir' option in the Gallery tag doesn't seem to take it and returns nothing.

Anyone got an idea? Thanks in advance!
John.

Code: Select all

{assign var=GalleryName value="ArticleGallery/"|cat:$entry->GalleryName}
{$GalleryName}


{if $entry->GalleryName != ""}
{Gallery dir=$GalleryName}
{/if}

Try
{cms_module module='Gallery' dir=$GalleryName}
I believe its a Smarty3 thingy

Thanks, but no luck on that one I'm afraid. Any other ideas?

I've tried, at least I think I did it right, trying to pre-process the smarty template and then echo the variable through php, but that exits the page just before that section.

Code: Select all

{assign var=GalleryName value="ArticleGallery/"|cat:$entry->GalleryName}
{$GalleryName}


{if $entry->GalleryName != ""}
{Gallery dir=$GalleryName}
{/if}

Assuming all the rest is default and {$GalleryName} is, as you say, valid
I would test if "uploads/images/Gallery/<whatever{$GalleryName}VarHoldsHere>" actually exists...

Parameters

(optional) dir="sub1/sub2" - Parameter to specify a directory, relative to uploads/images/Gallery/

Just an idea...

<edited> I used a wrong path as an example.... just corrected it

[JohnnyNM]

Thanks. The path itself exists on the server and if I replace the variable with its contents, then the gallery appears.

So I know the variable works, and the gallery code works, but getting Gallery to pull a variable directly seems to be the problem.

I've also just tried it on another version of the cms for a different site and it's worked with this code:

Code: Select all

{assign 'GD' 'Graphic-Design'}
{Gallery dir=$GD}

Now this one worked for some reason...same server, same everything. :s and these are the specs. The only thing I can think is its running Gallery 1.5.3 rather than version 6. :/
