Retrieving value from {content block...}

Hi there,
I can't resolve such problem:
Heres template code (fragment)
Code: Select all
<h1>{title} - {$var}{/h1}
{content block="some-name" oneline="true" label="some-label" assign="var" scope="parent"}
Here's the problem - how to make variable "var" available before content block?
I tried this:
Code: Select all
{content block="some-name" oneline="true" label="some-label" assign="var" scope="parent"}
{capture "var1"}
{$var}
{/capture}
then trying to retrieve {$var1} before content block, but with no luck.
I'm sure it is possible
just don't know how to do that.
Best regards
Olek

You can not make an variable available before it's initialised.
Why don't you just use it the other way around?
Code: Select all
{content block="some-name" oneline="true" label="some-label" assign="var" scope="parent"}
<h1>{title} - {$var}{/h1}
I'm not sure why you use the scope parameter. I never use it nor do I know if it's a valid parameter.

Templates are processed in a specific order (here is a article that explains it
http://www.i-do-this.com/blog/75/Under- ... -Templates) so i guess you want to have content blocks in backend in some other order then on frontend so a editor isn't confused.
What you do, is you assign content blocks (also main {content} tag) on top of template in order that you want them to apear in backend:
Code: Select all
{strip}
{process_pagedata}
{content assign='main_content' label='Main Content'}
{content block='title_for_some_block' label='Please enter title' oneline='true' assign='alt_title'}
{content block='some_block' label='Some nice label' assign='alt_block'}
{* you can also use tabs in 1.11.x *}
{content block='some_area' label='Enter stuff here' tab='Additional stuff' wysiwyg='false' assign='alt_area'}
{/strip}<!doctype html>
<!-- and the rest of template -->
Once you have your stuff configured, you can use assigned variables anywhere in your template, don't forget to replace {content} with {$main_content} as assigned above.
