 Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2006 11:43 pm Post subject: {include} and passing the contents of an object |
 |
|
I've just started teaching myself Smarty to use on a Drupal site.
I'm trying to create a template that includes a list of other nodes, which will be formatted according to their own template.
I understand I can include another template with {include} but the doc says "Any variables available in the current template
are also available within the included template."
Now, my parent node will have $title $content $date etc. as variables. But it also has $nodes which is an array of its child nodes. When I {include} their templates, I want them to use $nodes[$x]->title not $title.
But I'm sure you agree that writing
| Code: | | {include file="childnode.tpl" title="$nodes[$x]->title" content="$nodes[$x]->content" date="$nodes[$x]->date" } |
is not a great solution, because then the parent template must know the name of every variable the child template needs.
I could also have the child template pull its variables out of $node[$x] itself, but I want to be able to use the same template file that I use when the child node is being viewed directly.
Is there a variable name such as $_self that I can assign the whole node to? What's the best way to pass all the node's properties as variables? |
