Hi Steve,

I have a file called course.html under templates/chemistry/courses/course/ folder, I tried to pass a variable to a function and failed. The detailed information is as follows:

$courseid={$course->htmlValue(‘course_id)}, it will return the correct $courseid.

{foreach from=$site->getCoursePersonnel($courseid) key=position_title item=persons name=course_personnel}

The passed in variable $courseid is empty. Could you please advise why and how should I pass this variable to the above function?

Thanks a lot.

Angie

In smarty templates you can’t just use ‘=’ to assign values to a variable. You need to use the assign tag.

e.g.

Code: Select all

{assign var="courseid" value=$course->htmlValue('course_id')}
