Title problem

[kvnirvana]

On one of my pages I set the title like this

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()|escape}>

 

The problem is I want the title to say getShow and getName

 

Tried to do it like this but I get an internal 500 error

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()|escape}$people->getName()|escape}>

How can I make this work?

 

Thanks in advance

try this. not tested but might work.

 

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()|cat:$people->getName()|escape}>

[kvnirvana]

It works :-) but how can I get a space between getShow and getName? Tried to do it like this but again I get an error

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()| cat:$people->getName()|escape}>

Out of curiosity, what kind of code is this?

This is PHP, this is more than likely rendered through an MVC framework or CMS system to finalize the output.

 

EG:

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()|cat:$people->getName()|escape}>

assign var="title" // This would make a variable named title ($title)
value=$people->getShow()|cat:$people->getName() // This would make the variable $title have the value $people->getShow()|cat:$people->getName()
|escape // This would escape the string.

Maybe try

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()  | cat:$people->getName()|escape}>

 

I'm not sure if it will work but it's worth a shot!

This is PHP, ...

 

Well I figured that much since they're posting in a PHP forum.

 

Thanks!

Haha! My bad LOL! I must admit the logic is a little strange, the rendering time on this must be somewhat stunted by the complexity of a simple variable assignment process... LOL

It's SMARTY I believe. The templates are compiled into pure PHP templates, that are then re-used on subsequent requests. I'm not sure why there's angle brackets at each side of an assignment though? I'll add as well, there's no need to really assign the value to a variable here. @kvnirvana why not just display them separately..?

 

{$people->getShow()|escape} {$people->getName()|escape}

[kvnirvana]

Yes it's SMARTY

None of the suggestions worked. I tried jamesxg1 suggestion like this

<{assign var="title" value=$people->getShow()  | cat:$people->getName()|escape}>

 

And I tried Adams suggestion like this

<{assign var="title" value={$people->getShow()|escape} {$people->getTitle()|escape}>

 

Both of them gave me an intern 500 error

Does this help:

http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.modifier.spacify.tpl

 

If not, I'll butt out since I've never used Smarty before.

[kvnirvana]

I don't think I can use the spacify because I don't want to insert a space between every character, I only want a space between what the variable $people->getShow() outputs and what the variable $people->getName() outputs

Have you tried Smarty's forum?

[kvnirvana]

No, I'll try that, thanks for the link :-)

[cyberRobot]

No, I'll try that, thanks for the link :-)

 

Well, I would hate to see you leave...but they'll probably be better at answering your questions.

 

Good Luck!

And I tried Adams suggestion like this

<{assign var="title" value={$people->getShow()|escape} {$people->getTitle()|escape}>

 

That was not my suggestion? I posted:

 

{$people->getShow()|escape} {$people->getName()|escape}

 

Use that wherever you want the values to be shown; don't assign them to a variable! I would always hesitate to assign a variable within SMARTY, there's generally always a better way.
