I'm just getting the hang of the EZ template language. I'm familiar with coding in Perl/PHP, etc. Basic question: I have created a hash like this:
{let myhash=hash('key1','val1')}
How can I change the value for key1? I've tried all kinds of variations like:$myhash[key1]="val2"
But this doesn't work. I tried some of the array functions like merge but that didn't work either. Ideas?
thanks!Aaron

Hi Aaron
I think I looked into this a couple of versions ago and didn't find a solution. Have you tried using the set operator ?

{set myhash=hash('key1','val1')}
In case anyone else has this question, I've found the following to work:
{set myhash=$myhash|merge( hash( 'key1','newVal' ) )}

Remark: You cannot use numeric keys in a hash !
In case you have to create a hash based on numeric keys within a loop, here is my code:
{section loop=... var=result} {set list=$list|merge( hash( '_'|append($result.item.contentobject_id), 'some values...' ) ) } {/section}
This is useful when doing computation !
