Hi Rodney,
2009/12/2 Rodney Morris <lucifer(a)infernaldreams.com>om>:
I've two issues I've been bashing my head
against for the last few days
and finally decided to put it out to the list as a whole. I'm working
on an increasingly complex template and I'm hoping you guys might be
able to provide some easy answers.
1) Is it possible to put comments into a template? Something that will
only show up on the edit screen for the template, not on the 'view' tab
and not when the template is used?
Try wrapping the comments in
<includeonly><noinclude></noinclude></includeonly>
2) Is it possible to assign a parameter value to a
parameter within the
template? Basically, what I'm trying to do is to use an ifeq statement
to provide output based on one of three possible parameter values. For
example:
Let's assume the only parameter passed from the calling page is a value
for "pet". The two values expected are "dog" or "fish".
If the
parameter value passed is "dog", then I'd want to assign breathes=air,
legs=4 and teeth=yes. If the parameter value from 'pet' is "fish",
I'd
want breathes=water, legs=0 and teeth=none. Later on in the same
template, I'd want to put the values for breathers, legs and teeth into
a table.
Now I know I could just put the ifeq statement within the cell in the
table, but that's going to quickly get repetitive and cumbersome,
resulting in a vary nasty and complex page under the 'edit' tab. I'm
hoping for something a bit more elegant and efficient.
Create a 'public' interface template that accepts pet parameter and
then calls the actual technical template that uses the breathes, legs
and teeth parameters (in addition to the pet parameter)
