Hi all,
Im having some issues with variable scoping.
The code below is used in a drop down menu where I want to pad the output with non breaking spaces. Note that I tried using pad but it only seemed to want one character and I couldnt use . If you know how to use pad in that manner I would love to see how, but I need to understand the scoping anyway.
Im using 3.4.4 The padding_string variable is the one I need to get correctly, the frog/dog/cat etc are my testing (only frog works).
{section name=menuloop loop=$menu_items}
{set itempadding = $padding|sub($item.object.data_map.short_name.content|count_chars)
frog='FFFF'
}
{section name=paddingloop loop=$itempadding}
{set menuloop:padding_string=concat($menuloop:padding_string,"B")}
{set menuloop:cat='CCCCC'}
{set dog='DDDDD'}
{/section}
<li>
<a href={$menuloop:item.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menuloop:item.object.data_map.short_name.content}{$menuloop:padding_string}{$menuloop:frog}{$menuloop:cat}{$cat}{$menuloop:dog}{$dog}{$paddingloop:dog}{$menuloop:paddingloop:dog}{$menuloop:paddingloop.dog}</a>
</li>
{/section}
Any help greatly appreciated. cheers Arran
