Passing variables from controller to template
8 January 2009 at 12:58am Last edited: 8 January 2009 2:10am
I feel really stupid asking this question, but if I want to make some changes to an existing variable in the controller before it is rendered in the template, such as $Content or $Title or a custom field such as $AuthorName for example, how can I do this? I just can't seem to find instructions on how to do this in the tutorials or the forums. Can someone point me to the right page that explains how to accomplish this?
If someone tells me to RTFM, I'm really sorry that I'm such an idiot, but I just cannot find any information about this anywhere on Google or the Silverstripe tutorials/forums, and I tried really really hard. So would very much appreciate it if you can point me to the right URL.
Thanks!

Just create a method with the same name as the variable that you want to use, ie:
function AuthorName() {
return $this->Author()->Name;

function MenuTitleLength() {
return strlen($this->MenuTitle) > length;
}Then you can use <% if MenuTitleLength %>...<% end_if %> in your template.
The comparison must be done in the controller as the template language doesn't allow inequalities.
