how to get data from object within pagelayout template?

Saturday 26 July 2008 8:49:47 am

Hi guys

I am adapting the pagelayout template, as I need a banner object (as in the default frontpage template) to be show in all pages.

I have the standard banner code:

{if $node.object.data_map.billboard.has_content}
<div class="attribute-billboard">
{content_view_gui view=billboard content_object=$node.object.data_map.billboard.content}
</div>
{/if}

From what I can see though, the pagelayout template does not have the $node variable.
How can I access this?

I am seeing the current node ID from the pagelayout template ($current_node_id) which is fine, but I really need to access the object data map to get the billboard.

Any ideas?
Your help would be fantastic.

Many thanks,

Matt

Hi,

try {$node.object.data_map.headerimage|attribute(show)} to get more information...

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

Hi Matt,

use something like this:

$node.data_map.headerimage.content.original.full_path

You can also replace the "original" part in the above by any image variation you have defined in your image.ini.append (e.g. medium).

I've managed to draw the contentobject_id using the following:

{$node.object.data_map.headerimage.image.content.id}

can I get the url from that at all?
