Encapsulate variables in Templates
21 September 2011 at 10:16am
I have a field in the database called $RowOffset which is an Integer and I want to use it in an embedded style like this:
<div class="seatsrow" style="margin-left:$RowOffsetpx">
However it doesn’t work as it sees it as a variable called $RowOffsetpx instead of $RowOffset for obvious reasons.
Desired result is
<div class="seatsrow" style="margin-left:20px">
This doesn’t work because of the space:
<div class="seatsrow" style="margin-left:$RowOffset px">
Is there a way to encapsulate the variable say like this:
<div class="seatsrow" style="margin-left:_v($RowOffset)px">
Hope that makes sense.

You could try putting it in brackets, such as {$Variable}. If that doesn't work, why not create a function in your dataobject file and concatenate the strings together there? Like so:
public function GetRowOffset() {
return $this->RowOffset . 'px';
}Then you could use $GetRowOffset within your control loop.

Like Ryan Said, {$Foo}px should work.
public function GetRowOffset() {
return $this->RowOffset . 'px';
}PROTIP: name it getRowOffset then you can use the slightly nicer string $RowOffset in the template.

You can if using Escaping
<div class="seatsrow" style="margin-left:{$RowOffset}px">
