Hi,

I am having a problem assigning variables in the latest Products module detail templates.

I am using {assign var='alt_title' value=$entry->product_name scope='global'} at the top of my detail template but don't seem to be able to set the page title.

Even printing variables reveals nothing.

I assume this has to do with scope='global' (http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =7&t=73141

I did ask a variation of this querstion previously http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =7&t=73335 but can now see i didn't know enough to actually ask the right question. Apologies if this have just been added to the previous question?

Try printing the variables in various place to narrow down where it is going wrong.

Right after the assign (to make sure it is assign correctly)
At the bottom of the template it is assigned in (make sure something isn't over writing it)
Right after CMSms returns from the module call (in most cases this would be right after {content})
At the beginning of the <head> section.

This is actually due to a small bug in CMSMS and the way we use smarty.
It has been fixed in svn, and will be available in the upcoming 1.12.1 release.

In the mean time you can work around this issue by using some custom plugins to save variable data in a place 'other than smarty' and retrieve it.

The {session_put} plugin that comes with CGSimpleSmarty would handle it.

Code: Select all

{session_put var=page_title value=$entry->product_name}

then in your head section:

Code: Select all

{$page_title=$smarty.session.page_title|default:''}
{if $page_title != ''} ...{/if}

These two UDT's should be close to doing the same thing as the global assign:

udt: my_set

Code: Select all

$var = trim($params['var']);
$val = $params['value'];
if( $var )  \cms_utils::set_app_data('my_'.$var,$val);

usage: {my_set var=page_title value=$entry->product_name}

udt: my_get

Code: Select all

$var = trim($params['var']);
$assign = trim($params['assign']);
if( $var ) {
    $val = \cms_utils::get_app_data('my_'.$var);
    if( $assign ) {
       $smarty->assign($assign,$val);
    }  else {
       return $val;
    }
}

usage: {my_get var=page_title assign=page_title}{$page_title}

Fantastic, thanks so much for the replies.

Took me a moment to catch on that i would need to add the code ({my_set var=page_title value=$entry->product_name}) to the top section of every module detail template, for every variable i wanted, but once done, all good.

Really many thanks,

Cheers,

Paul
