Hello everyone.
I was wondering if someone could give me assistance regarding the variable pair parsing.
I have read the docs, but have noticed a lot of $TMPL methods aren’t even mentioned there, and the example shown isn’t very helpful
I have also tried looking through the amazon API, weblog module, and a few others as suggested in the docs, but they were a little to complex for me to understand.
Basically I have several arrays from which I need to insert into single variables that are between variable pairs. like so:
{exp:myPlugin:myMethod}
{var_pair_1}
{title}
{date}
{/var_pair_1}
{var_pair_2}
{something else}
{and another}
{/var_pair_2}
{/exp:myPlugin:myMethod}
so am I correct in saying that variable pairs are meant for looping?
How do you control the looping?
I tried the following to get started:
$tagdata = $TMPL->tagdata //get everything between the main tags
foreach { $TMPL-var_pair as $key=>$val) //the var pair array
{ foreach( $myArray as $row ) //the content I want to use
{
if (ereg("^item", $key) //find the {item} tag
{
$tagdata = $TMPL->swap_var_single( 'title', $row['title'], $tagdata) //swap out the single variables
}
}
}
I know this is by no means correct, but im stuck!
please help!
