Forums / Developer / How to exchange parameters between several parts (blocks) on a page ? (persistent variables)

Hello,
I'd like to be able to set a param from the full view and being able to retrieve it from another part (eg the pagelayout).
I'm able to see some attributes set by ez (eg the id_section) , but can't imagine how to add a new attribute.
I've tried a set-block root, but I can't see it on the module_result, and I'm running out of ideas...
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance,
Xavier

Xavier,
It should work: define a variable in the pagelayout and modify it with set-block global (root means in the current file like the view template only)

Paul,
Stupid of me, thanks very much.
It still have a problem: it only works the first time after I clear the cache, not the other times.
My context:I set-block global on a full template, and I read the result on the pagelayout.tpl
Any idea ?

I'm still stuck with the problem. On the template that should receive a param, adding a cache-block works:
{cache-block keys=array('param',$uri_string)} ({$param}){/cache-block}
However, the part where I need to read the param has to be uncached.

If you want to disable the cache for a template, check this out:

Hi,
I think I found the way of sorting my problem (persistent variable):http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/persistent_template_variable
However, it doesn't seem to work as expected/described:http://www.ez.no/community/bugs/two_persistent_variable_problems_in_content_templates
