    Nested Controls Link to this post

    Hey hey,

    Is it possible to have nested control?

    I have this code here

    <% control getSpeciesType %>
    <h2>$Type</h2>
    <div class="species">
    <% control ShowSpeciesByType %>
    <h3>$Title</h3>
    <p>$Description</p>
    <% end_control %>
    </div>
    <% end_control %>

    Both custom functions returns a DataObjectSet. But i've tried debugging by putting an exit(); in my nested function (ShowSpeciesByType) but the script doesn't even get there

    So is it possible to have nested Controls??

    Thanks

    Yes you can have nested controls but once your in the getSpeciesType control then the scope of the template changes to the SpeciesType object so whatever control you want in that - eg ShowSpeciesByType needs to be a function in the SpeciesType class.
