Christine Romel	Wednesday 29 September 2004 1:37:46 am Hii eveybody.. would u plzz check what's the prob. on that code?? sorry..but i'm new to EZ publish and need ur help.. what i need to do is: check for the selected node.. get its ID.. make a switch case on that ID.. if ID matches case1: set variable1 = value1 & set var2=val2....etc.. and then when the folder is shosen to be shown..take its variables var1 & var2 which are $left & $right (nodes IDs) and show their content.. the prob. when i choose any node nothing appears... NB: the prob. is not in the showing way itself(the bla bla bla part in the above code)... help..plzz ============================================================= is the nodeChosen variable contains the whole node object? {let nodeChosen = fetch(content, node, hash(node_id,$cn)) right=0 left=0 km=222 hy=227} /is there something called $node.id coz i wanna check the node by its ID/ {switch name=ShowArticle match=$node.id} {case match=222} {set right = 1124} {set left = 1125} {/case} {case match=227} {set right = 1132} {set left = 1133} {/case} {/switch} {/let} <!--********** That's the first (right)column********************--> <td valign="top" width="250px"> {let col=fetch(content,tree, hash(parent_node_id,$right,limit,4, sort_by,array(priority, true())))} bla bla blaaa... <!--******** That's the second (left )column********************************--> <td valign="top" width="250px"> {let col=fetch(content,tree, hash(parent_node_id, $left,limit,4, sort_by,array(priority, true())))} bla bla bla... -------------------- i need it urgently.. i really appreciate ur help.. christine..

Christine Romel	Wednesday 29 September 2004 4:11:37 am Hii Fredrek well..i was able to get the node ID.. but still there's a problem:(( i made global var. called right & left and assigned them a value as initialization.. but when i change their values in the switch case..they are not shown.. {switch name=ShowArticle match=$:nodeChosen.node_id} {case match=222} {section}{set $right=1124}{/section} {section}{set $left=1125}{/section} {/case} {/switch} and then their values here..are taken by the global ones not the newly changed ones:(( {let col=fetch(content,tree, hash(parent_node_id,$right,limit,4, sort_by,array(priority, true())))} ================================ sorry for disturbtion.. thanx for ur help a lott.. christine
Frederik Holljen	Wednesday 29 September 2004 4:30:17 am I think you are having a namespace problem. Remove the name= in the switch, and use $: to address the left and right variables. You can also read the documentation page about namespaces http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/libraries/ez_template/basics/namespaces. In other words, something like: <{switch match=$:nodeChosen.node_id} {case match=222} {section}{set $:right=1124}{/section} {section}{set $:left=1125}{/section} {/case} {/switch} Of course, this will only work if you do not open a new namespace in the let (using name=) defining the left and right variables.
Christine Romel	Wednesday 29 September 2004 6:06:21 am ok..i solved the namespace prob..:D but..do u know how would i call a variable using namespaces inside the new name space itself..! 4ex.this code.. {let nodeChosen=fetch(content,node,hash(node_id,$cn)) name='let'} {switch name='chosen' match=$:nodeChosen.node_id } {case match=222} {let right=1124 left=1125 name='case'}{/let} {/case} ... {let col=fetch(content,tree, hash(..,*** need to put the $chosen:case:right***variable here,),...)} . . . {/let} {/switch} {/let} i wrote it as mentioned but didn't work!!
Frederik Holljen	Wednesday 29 September 2004 7:24:07 am You open three namespaces here 'let', 'chosen' and 'case. Therefore: {let col=fetch(content,tree, hash(..,*** need to put the $let:chosen:case:right***variable here,),...)}
