Problem displaying Layout title

It would help you get a faster / more complete reply if you could:

• Provide information about the version of ExpressionEngine you are using
• Provide some information about the hosting environment being used (e.g. php version, server type)
• Provide an example of the template tag that you are having difficulty with

?

Of course, JCOGS. I am using the 7.3.14 version of EE running on the 8.24 version of XAMPP.

{exp:channel:entries channel="films" require_entry="no" dynamic="yes" limit="1"} {layout:set name='title'}{title}{/layout:set} {/exp:channel:entries}

Thnx.

Hi Matahi, Just to confirm, you are using a layout variable with a layout Template and not trying to call it inside the same file. Correct?

General page to page_layout structure should be:

For the page:

{layout="_layouts/_my_page_layout"}

{exp:channel:entries channel="films" require_entry="no" dynamic="yes" limit="1"}
    {layout:set name='title'}{title}{/layout:set}
{/exp:channel:entries}

In the page “_layouts/__my_page_layout” :

{layout:title}

That is correct, Russ K. I am not trying to call it inside the same file.

Thnx

What happens if you rename the parameter to something unique, e.g.

{layout:set name='page-title'}{title}{/layout:set}

and use {layout:page-title} in your layout template.

I have been unable to replicate on my local system (EE7.3.14, php 8.1). What happens if you try some variations - do you get a result when you use this tag (for example)?

{exp:channel:entries channel="films" require_entry="no" dynamic="yes" limit="1"} 
    {layout:set name='title'}x-{title}{/layout:set}
{/exp:channel:entries}

and then in the template where you retrieve the value

{layout:title:replace find="x-" replace=""}

Would be interesting to know if it makes any difference. ?

Renaming the parameter to something unique nor using another tag does not work either.

I am pretty sure the problem is the title. Using a a two or three digits title instead a combination of letters and numbers. ?
