Hi all,

Just a quick question… say I pull in channel data into a template:

{exp:channel:entries channel="channel-name" entry_id="1"}
     {title}
     {article}
{/exp:channel:entries}

But then, I want to embed say a breadcrumb trails, but the breadcrumb trail code is inside another template…

{exp:channel:entries channel="channel-name" entry_id="1"}
     {embed="templatename/crumbtrail"}
     {title}
     {article}
{/exp:channel:entries}

The crumbtrail template contains:

<a href="#">home</a> » {title}

As soon as I embed a template which tries to output data from the channel called inside the previous template… it fails to pull in data from the entry_id and will just output the code:

{title}

Is there a way I can embed the template, but let that embedded template know which data it should pull in?

Does that make sense? Apologies, finding it hard to explain what I mean exactly.

Thank you
Si

Hi, Si.

Yes, that makes sense.

See: EEDocs:// Embedding Templates

Does that help?

Ahh yeah, that is perfect, thank you!
