I am using a module that uses some variable names that are identical to some that I have created in member custom fields.

So when I try to mix the two, that is use {exp:member:custom_profile_data} inside the modules tags (in this case Membrr) my member custom profile variable get cancelled out, or rather become inaccessible.

I’ve been advised that I need to call the custom data earlier in the template and assign new, temporary variable names and I’m looking for ways to do this.

thanks.

Hi kokako,

Check out Stash. It is purpose-built for assigning variables inside templates, and keeps you out of PHP

Cheers!

Thanks Dan, but but I’d rather not have to use yet another plugin… I’m really looking to achieve this internally.

I hate to say it, but this may not be possible. I’ve had problems trying to do similar things and have always run into the ‘parse order’ issue or the fact that some modules, like {exp:query} don’t make use of other modules’ variables.

Wish you luck in finding a solution.
