Global variable in a template

Thursday 28 January 2010 5:59:38 pm

Hi, I have a template for the xml view of a object. For example:

<code>

<title>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$articleNode.data_map.title}</title>
<byline>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$articleNode.data_map.byline}</byline>
<image>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$articleNode.data_map.image}</image>

</code>

On this page, I have 2 nested 'for' loops that contain a value within that needs to be displayed once these loops are done with their output.

<code>

{foreach $node.data_map.selection.content as $obj_relations}
{foreach $obj_relations as $item}

...

{$value}

{/foreach}

{/foreach}

Value is : {$value}

</code>

The problem is that I'm getting a empty variable. I tried defining this variable outside the loop with {def $value='test'} and then setting it inside the loop but just end up with 'test'. Is there any way to set this variable when inside the loop?

thanks.
