Re: [Cheetahtemplate-discuss] use of #set vars across inherited templates?

[Dirk v. O. IR l. <la...@ix...>]

Hi,

I don't know if this response comes too late. I'm not reading this  
mailing list so frequent.

What I always do in these cases (when I want the subclass to override  
behavior or state of the super (parent) class), is use methods that  
are overrode by the subclass. In those methods you can also #set a  
variable of course.


(In the super class I use #block instead of #def so it will be run  
without having to call it)


## file class1.tmpl

#block setvar
#set $x = 1 ## this is the default value of x
#end block setvar

#if $x == 2
oh, $x is not set to the default!
#end if

## eof class1.tmpl

## file sub.tmpl

#from class1 import class1
#extends class1

#def setvar
#set $x = 2
## !!! I want to set $x to 2 here in such a way that it will be
visible in class1.tmpl !!!
## eof sub.tmpl
#end def setvar
