variable not passing to filter_related

Monday 07 March 2005 3:17:42 am

if I replace 18 with:
$node.object.contentclass_id
or
$node.data_map.name.contentclass_attribute.contentclass_id
the script fails, placing 18 manually works perfectly
i've double and tripple checked $node.object.contentclass_id == 18

thnx in advance :)

{$node.data_map.name.contentclass_attribute.contentclass_id}
{let topic_articles=fetch( 'content', 'list', 
	hash(
		'parent_node_id', 58,
		'depth', 1,
		'class_filter_type', 'include',
		'class_filter_array',array('article_general')
		)
	)
}
<table width="100%" border="1">
	<tr>
		<th>Popular Articles for {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.name}</th>
	</tr>
	{section loop=$topic_articles}
		{set topic_type=$node.object.contentclass_id}
		class:{$topic_type}<br />
		{set topic_article_relation=filter_related($:item.contentobject_id, 18, false)}
		{set topic_headline=$:item.data_map.headline}
		{set show_item=false}
		{section loop=$topic_article_relation}
			{section show=$:item.main_node_id|eq($node.main_node_id) }
				{set show_item=true}
			{section-else}
				{section show=$show_item|eq(false)}
					{set show_item=false}
				{/section}
			{/section}
		{/section}
		{section show=$show_item|eq(true)}
			<tr>
				<td>
					<strong><u>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$topic_headline}</u></strong><br/ >
				</td>
			</tr>
		{/section}
	{/section}
</table>

Your sample code provided works fine. My code has been updated to the following but still with the issue $topic_type not getting passed to filter_related

Entire topic_articles.tpl:

{* $node.data_map.name.contentclass_attribute.contentclass_id *}
{let topic_type='' show_item=''}
    {set topic_type=$node.object.contentclass_id}
	{let topic_articles=fetch( 'content', 'list', 
		hash(
			'parent_node_id', 58,
			'depth', 1,
			'class_filter_type', 'include',
			'class_filter_array',array('article_general')
			)
		)
	}
<table width="100%" border="1">
	<tr>
		<th>Popular Articles for {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.name}</th>
	</tr>
	{section loop=$topic_articles}
		class:{$topic_type}<br /> (* !!!NOTE!!! this outputs fine *}
		{let topic_article_relation=''}
			{set topic_article_relation=filter_related($:item.contentobject_id, $topic_type, false)} (* !!!NOTE!!! $topic_type doesn't seem to be passed *}
			{let topic_headline=''}
				{set topic_headline=$:item.data_map.headline}
				{set show_item=false}
				{section loop=$topic_article_relation}
					{section show=$:item.main_node_id|eq($node.main_node_id) }
						{set show_item=true}
					{section-else}
						{section show=$show_item|eq(false)}
							{set show_item=false}
						{/section}
					{/section}
				{/section}
			{/let}
		{/let}
		{section show=$show_item|eq(true)}
			<tr>
				<td>
					<strong><u>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$topic_headline}</u></strong><br/ >
				</td>
			</tr>
		{/section}
	{/section}
</table>
{/let}

Any further help is appreciated :)

Update: Code has been tidied to cleanup set/let bad nesting. Problem still persists

{* $node.data_map.name.contentclass_attribute.contentclass_id *}
{let topic_type='' show_item='' topic_article_relation='' topic_headline=''}
    {set topic_type=$node.object.contentclass_id}
	{let topic_articles=fetch( 'content', 'list', 
		hash(
			'parent_node_id', 58,
			'depth', 1,
			'class_filter_type', 'include',
			'class_filter_array',array('article_general')
			)
		)
	}
<table width="100%" border="1">
	<tr>
		<th>Popular Articles for {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.name}</th>
	</tr>
	{section loop=$topic_articles}
		class:{$topic_type}<br />
		{set topic_article_relation=filter_related($:item.contentobject_id, $topic_type, false)}
		{set topic_headline=$:item.data_map.headline}
		{set show_item=false}
		{section loop=$topic_article_relation}
			{section show=$:item.main_node_id|eq($node.main_node_id) }
				{set show_item=true}
			{section-else}

Are you using the newest filter_related version? On what version of ezP?

Is topic type an int or a string?

You could try adding

eZDebug::writeError( "class:" $class );

on about line 95 of filterrelated.php (after

                $class = $namedParameters['class'];

and activate debugging to see what gets passed to the filter.

Or even better, uncomment line 104 for all params.
