passing variable to content template

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.
