CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

Have made the following advanced content block:
The items worked.

But the default value doesn't work.

$root_page_alias is for example "contact", why can't I make it like

"contact_sidebar_menu" as default?

Can I use smarty in default?

Martijn.

default="`$root_page_alias`_sidebar_menu"

With new Smarty ver 3 that the CMSMS versions 1.11++ use, you don't need the `` chars around the smarty stuff.

Also you will need to either capture the values you are trying to put together first and assign it as a var to put into the tag or try to use the |cat modifier to join them together.

Is $root_page_alias an actual var?
$page_alias is and usually I use the CGSimpleSmarty method of getting the parent or root of a page.

default - Allows you to specify default content for this content block (additional content blocks only). You can't use a smarty string here!
So {content block="third_content_block" default=$foo} is NOT valid
