B Pierre	Thursday 06 January 2011 2:43:37 am Hi, I need to pass on variable from pagelayout.tpl to all templates. I have something like this in top of pagelayout.tpl : If current_page type is X $var=current_page.valueA Else get $var I tried to use global variable with <u>to set value</u> {def $var="x"} {set scope="global" $var="x"} <u>to get value</u> {$#var} but this not running... Any idea ? And is it possible to make session variable with eZPublish ?

And making use of sessions in presentation layer is a bit of a no no :) eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

Hi,

I need to pass on variable from pagelayout.tpl to all templates. I have something like this in top of pagelayout.tpl :

 If current_page type is X
    $var=current_page.valueA
 Else
    get $var

I tried to use global variable with

<u>to set value</u>
 {def $var="x"}
 {set scope="global" $var="x"}

<u>to get value</u>
 {$#var}

but this not running...

Any idea ?

And is it possible to make session variable with eZPublish ?
