Gunnar Birkeland	Tuesday 25 April 2006 1:30:16 am Hi, i got an override for line.tpl that creates a table for each instance of a post in a logbook. Now what i want to do is almost too simple, but the problem is large at hand. I want to increase a parameter (preferably persistent_variable) for each time a table is created, a counter if u wish. Now, <i>setting</i> the persistent_variable is no problem, but is there a way i can <i>fetch</i> it in line.tpl? This works fine: {set scope=global persistent_variable=1} But not this: {$module_result.content_info.persistent_variable} ------------------------------------ Gunnar Birkeland http://www.enternett.no </major> ---------------------------- ez-version: 3.9.3.

Nabil Alimi	Tuesday 25 April 2006 3:11:33 am Hi Gunnar, Personnaly, I've never been able to use the "persistent_variable". (Ezpublish 3.6.4) Posted a thread about this a few weeks ago, no answers yet. If you're line view is called within a loop, I suggest that you use a counter and each time you iterates you pass it to your template. Something like this for example. {def $my_counter=0} {foreach $my_line_array as $my_line} {node_view_gui view=line content_node=$my_line my_counter=$my_counter} {You pass your variable to your line.tpl, making it available into the template view. } {set scope=global $my_counter=inc( $my_counter )} {Here you increment your counter } {/foreach} And then you can easily retrive the $my_counter var into your line.tpl or in the overrride.

Gunnar Birkeland	Tuesday 25 April 2006 3:45:02 am Hi Nabil. Actually this apporach works just fine, but the case is that my line_log.tpl is not beeing called manually so it does not solve my problem with the persistent variable not beeing available in the line.tpl override. I`ll go for your solution with the manual fetch and make an override for folder.tpl instead. Thanks for your quick answer. ------------------------------------ Gunnar Birkeland http://www.enternett.no </major> ---------------------------- ez-version: 3.9.3. PHP: 4.4.2-1 MYSQL: 4.0.24

But not this: {$module_result.content_info.persistent_variable}

Hi Gunnar,

Personnaly, I've never been able to use the "persistent_variable". (Ezpublish 3.6.4) Posted a thread about this a few weeks ago, no answers yet.

If you're line view is called within a loop, I suggest that you use a counter and each time you iterates you pass it to your template. Something like this for example.

{def $my_counter=0}
{foreach $my_line_array as $my_line}
{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$my_line my_counter=$my_counter} {*You pass your variable to your line.tpl, making it available into the template view. *}
{set scope=global $my_counter=inc( $my_counter )} {*Here you increment your counter *}
{/foreach}

And then you can easily retrive the $my_counter var into your line.tpl or in the overrride.

Hope it helped.

Hi Nabil.

Actually this apporach works just fine, but the case is that my line_log.tpl is not beeing called manually so it does not solve my problem with the persistent variable not beeing available in the line.tpl override.
