For some reason I can’t get the embeds to display in an ee 1.7 install… Even the example lifted straight from the EE legacy docs (http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/templates/embedding_templates.html)

Both templates are webpages, I’ve tried moving them into the same template group. I had been working with conditionals, so stripped it right back to passing a value and I get nothing. Any ideas as to what might be going on?

Hi Mr Tim,

Can you share the code for the templates you’re trying?

Also, it might be worth turning on the setting to print out template debugging to the browser to see if there is anything helpful being logged.

Thanks,
Paul.

OK, I’ve stripped it back completely and it’s still not working. Here’s my code:

Main template (hi):

hi {embed:dog_name}

Sub-template (dog):

{embed="events/hi" dog_name="Shadow"}

Output:

hi

Both templates are in the events template group.

I’m afraid to say I’ve no idea…

Anyone else have any ideas?

It’s got me stumped. Am I missing a global setting or something?

Are you working with ‘templates’ as files, or are you amending the templates through the Control Panel?

Through the control panel.

Hi, mr_tim.

The main and embedded template are backwards.

You’d call the first one..

{embed="hi/mydogname" dog_name="Shadow"}

and in hi/mydogname you’d have:

hi {embed:dog_name} 

See the difference? Does that help?
