Håkan Bergman	Wednesday 19 May 2010 12:13:06 am Hello, I have made my own extension and is using this command to set node id in template: $tpl->setVariable( 'node_id', $NodeID ); This works perfectly when I go to /extension?id=x. as I am using this to load a form I can't post to it directly, so I am fetching the variable by _GET command. But this works perfectly for any node id and is sent to template. In my case however, the visitor clicks on a button called "Apply" and then a form loads through JS with colorbox. The form loads correctly and even though I specify the exact same extension path with ID, it won't pass it on to the template. Should I send the variable in some other way to the template or do I need to call the variable that is being sent in some other way than just {$node_id} ? Best regards, Håkan Bergman

Hello,

I have made my own extension and is using this command to set node id in template:

$tpl->setVariable( 'node_id', $NodeID );

This works perfectly when I go to /extension?id=x. as I am using this to load a form I can't post to it directly, so I am fetching the variable by _GET command. But this works perfectly for any node id and is sent to template.

In my case however, the visitor clicks on a button called "Apply" and then a form loads through JS with colorbox. The form loads correctly and even though I specify the exact same extension path with ID, it won't pass it on to the template.

Should I send the variable in some other way to the template or do I need to call the variable that is being sent in some other way than just {$node_id} ?

Best regards,
