Re: [Slashcode-general] way to tell what section a template is called from? - more info

[barry <sla...@i1...>]

In case other people want to know what section their template is being 
called from, within the template -

I haven't finished integrating this into my templates yet, but it looks 
like I need to make the following changes to implement Jason's suggestion:

1 - in index.pl:

I need to add the last parameter to this SlashDisplay call:

         slashDisplay('index', {
                 is_moderator    => scalar 
$slashdb->checkForMetaModerator($user),
                 stories         => $Stories,
                 boxes           => $StandardBlocks,
             section             => $section,
         });

this makes the section hash know to the index* templates. Note that the 
section key does not exist for the default section, so you will have to 
test for its existence in the template if that matters to you

2 - in my case I want to have section specific changes in the header* 
template too.

so in Slash.pm (sub header) I changed this call:

         if ($section){
                 my $sectionInfo = getSection($form->{section});
                 slashDisplay('header',
                 {section=> $sectionInfo},
                 );
         else {
                 slashDisplay('header'); #original line
                 }

and back in index.pl/main I changed the call to header() to:

         header($title, $section->{section});

I haven't really checked to see if header() is used anywhere else, but I 
think the if statement should keep it from breaking if it is.


3- within the templates, I have this code to test the availablity of the 
section hash:

         1234567
         [% FOREACH key = section.keys %]
                 - [% key %] => [% section.$key %] -
         [% END %]


Hope this helps.

Barry

-------------------------------------------

If I do:

[% section.section %]

I get a null value

but if I do

[% section %]

I get a hash identifier.

Is this hash always available or do I need to initialize it in some way?

Thanks!

Barry
