Hello :)

I don't do a huge amount of SS developing (which is a shame really), so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.

I have a data object which is for a blog, and I have a blog page which obviously displays the blog posts. In the BlogPage file, in the controller, I have the following:

	public function display() {
		$params = $this->getURLParams();
		$slug = $params['ID'];
		
		$article = Blog::get()->filter(array(
			'Slug' => $slug
		));

		$count = $article ? $article->Count() : 0;

		if($count == 1) {
			return array("Article" => $article);
		} else {
			$errorPage = DataObject::get_one('ErrorPage');
			$this->redirect($errorPage->Link(), 404);	
		}
	}

However, the following in the template simply doesn't work:

                    <% with $Article %>
                        $Slug - $Title - $Post
                    <% end_with %>

All of those are correct variables defined in the DataObject file, but they all output nothing. The page is correct (not seeing the 404), but still no blog details.

Any help appreciated :)

You probably have a scope issue, or you've put it into the wrong tempalte.
By scope I mean, you need to be at page level before <% with Article %> will work. If you're already in some form of control the variable 'Article' will not exist, and the output will not happen.

Alternatively you can try $Article.Title, etc. This way you don't need the with control, and you'll see the hyphens ('-') between the variables. If you can see these, you've got the right file, but the output is blank for some reason, if you cannot see them, you might not be editing the right file (or need to ?flush).

H Pyromanik,

Thanks for your reply. As far as I can see, being out of scope shouldn't be an issue. Literally, my full page is as follows:

<% include Header %>
        <div class="container white-bg">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-xs-12">                  
                        $Article.Slug - $Article.Title - $Article.Post
                </div>
            </div>
<% include Footer %>

As you can see, I've tried $Article., which doesn't seem to help either, even trying it with the <% with $Article %> surrounding it. I am however seeing the dashes, so it is loading the right template

Oh duh, silly me.
You've got a list, not a single object.
<% with $Article.First %> or: return ['Article' => $article->first()];

No, not silly you at all! That works :)

Thank you!
