CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, i am stuck in a "simple" task. I have an UDT in wich i want to call a variable defined in a page. For instance i have my UDT that execute a SQL query (from a PHP script) embeded in my page A.

In page A i want the query execute on a WHERE clause for instance ...SELECT ... WHERE items="VALUEFROMPAGEA" in order to contextualize my content.

In page B i want the query execute on a WHERE clause for instance ...SELECT ... WHERE items="VALUEFROMPAGEB". etc...

How can i achieve this simply and more elegantly ?

Thank you

You can pass parameters to UDTs.

In the page or template, call:
or
Inside your UDT, you can use:
..to reference your parameter.

Change 'myval' to whatever variable name you want. You can also pass multiple parameters.

Thank you for your quick answer. In my page i try to add {myudt myval='abc'} in a personnalized content block. (I understood that myudt is my own udt name).

It displays on the site as if it is text "{myudt myval='abc'}".

I tried several way without success. Are you sure i can add this as text into a block content into a page ?

Thank you

Hello, it worked like a charm
