Geeklog Forums

Geeklog uses a lot of variables like {this} inside its templates.
But what if {this} is an array?
In real time, it just says "Array" (no quotes).
Both {this["index X"]} and {this[index X]} (the first one with quotes, the second one - without) pass "" (empty strings).

Does it just pass the word "Array" or the array itself? I was willing to believe the first choice if only the latter two hadn't returned empty strings, which built my hopes...

I can, of course, just do a "for" loop and pass each index as its own variables, but I just want to make sure there's no way to use arrays in {this} first.

You get the "Array" text when you try to use an array where a scalar variable is expected, so it seems you can't do that ...

A normal array would give me that unless I used array["index"]. The question is if I can provide the "index" for a scalar variable.

reading the comments in the template class file will give you more of an idea about why that won't work. basically, the template class will not parse that placeholder, but will only replace it with output set before the template object is parsed... something like that.

btw, any text within the curly braces that is not set in the template object will return empty strings. Leave the text out and you'll just get curly braces.
