Okay, I want to set some site default variables in my pagelayout.tpl template, and access them arbitrarily within included templates. This seems to work fine as long as the templates from which I'm trying to access these vars are not invoked inside the output of $module_result.content. If they are, I can't get it to work. Any ideas? Is it possible to have TRULY global vars in eZ?

I've never tried this, so I might be far off, but you could check out set-blocks:

And namespaces:

Yup -- set_block seems like it should work, but it doesn't, if you're setting the var in the pagelayout and trying to access it from within $module_result. Likewise with namespaces -- no success there either.

The point here is that the module (example content) is run first. This means that if you set a variable in the pagelayout this will be set after your content view _already_ is rendered. What are you trying to do? If these are sitedefault variables, the wise thing to do is to put it in a inifile and use the templateoperator ezini to read the values from there.

Kristian, thanks for the inifile suggestion. That's actually exactly how I solved the problem -- I just declared a custom settings area in my site.ini.append, then stuck all of the required values in there.

Good :) Or if you want to, you might as well create a new inifile, and use the settings from that separate file.

Hi, I have a problem related, but the otherway around: In the content view, I want to set a global variable, so I can read it from pagelayout. It works fine the first time, but (if I'm right) once the template is compiled, the content view doesn't set the global variable anymore. Any idea ? X+

just a simple question if you please:
is it possible to declare a variable in a template
like this
{set myvar=$node.node_id}
then call it in another page like that
{$myvar} ??

I could choke on these words, but ...
I thought that this was the problem that was causing all this strife ... Xavier just mentioned it (above), that it was still in dier need of a clean room solution that didn't mean hacking apart your own life. It works fine the first time, but (if I'm right) once the template is compiled, the content view doesn't set the global variable anymore. Any idea ? X+
