just can't get 'let' and 'set' to work properly

Friday 01 August 2003 7:07:30 am

I have the following code:

{section name=loop1 loop=3}
{let var1=2000}
{section name=loop2 loop=3}
{$loop1:var1}
{set $loop1:var1=1000}
{/section
{/let}
{/section}

which should output
2000 1000 1000
2000 1000 1000
2000 1000 1000

but actually outputs
2000 2000 2000
2000 2000 2000
2000 2000 2000

so it seems that the 'set' function is not working properly. How do I set this variable correctly? Anyone's helpl would be massively appreciated, this is driving me slowly mad :-)

All the best,
Ben

Thanks for the reply - managed to get it working by stripping out a lot of the namespaces. Seems like the improvements to template namespaces need to happen quite urgently as the current set up just doesn't seem particularly practical or logical. I've been a programmer for years now, but this had me totally stumped :-)

oh well, on with the rest of the work now.

Cheers,
Ben
