CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

i write this down to try to help others with the same problem.

Situation: Assigned values to smarty variables in template file above the <__html> tag. Used always the attribute "scope=global".

Some variables could be used from down below the </__body> tag, while others couldn't.

Turned out, that
worked, while
didn't.

Any constructive remark welcome...

Code: Select all

{varname = some_value scope=global}
{assign name='varname' value=some_value scope=global}

worked, while

Code: Select all

{some_smarty_tag assign='varname' scope=global}

didn't.

Modules, plugins and UDT's currently don't have a way to recognize the scope parameter, as it only applies to variables. The best way to go around this limitation is:Please note that in this case we use the double quotes to make sure whatever we are assigning to the var is evaluated beforehand. On all other situations the best practice is to use single quotes.
