Hi,
I've got the following problem:The site I'm building has a particular section that has slightly different apparearance. I can easily use the same template, if only I could identify the section. This works fine in the pagelayout template. I have something like this:
{let land_man = ""} {switch match=$module_result.section_id} {case match=10} {set myvar = "_b"} {/case} {/switch} {/let}
and use the $myvar variable to change a couple of images.
That works fine. But I also need that information the the "content" template (where {$module_result.content} goes).
In that view template, $module_result is not available. So my question is. Is there a way of passing a variable to that template to use?
Thanks,
dries.

If you are using this within an override template the $node should be available. Try:
{$node|attribute(show)}
which will show the variable name for the section id you need.
