Thanks for looking into this. I suppose we should have a docs page for
developers tips or something. Anyway, as you discovered, I seem to
have told you the wrong thing...
1) It is true you can define the data as normal page vars, like
$BOLTvars[$page]['field'] = $value, and the template will evaluate
them properly. So kudo's to you for figuring this out.
2) There is a simpler way in your specific situation. I remembered
there being a way to insert function parameters into the template, but
in reviewing the code it wasn't what I expected. It is $field.
So for example you could just do this:
function BOLTFtest($args, $zone) {
global $pageLink; //BW variable
$pages[]=$pageLink;
return BOLTdisplay($pages, $args['template'], $zone, $args);
}
And then in your page, put:
[(test name=joe animal=dog one=tree hat=flower template=test)]
/*
[[#test]]
It is [(time {now} "%c")]
Hello $name, I like your $animal
Please keep the $animal away from my $one and $hat.
[[#end]]
*/
If one of the variables is not defined in the function however you get
$field in the output. Probably not desired. So in your case, you
probably want to set some default values like this
function BOLTFtest($args, $zone) {
global $pageLink;
$pages[]=$pageLink; // actually you could just do $pages[] = '';
since you are not using any info from the actual page...
$myarray['name'] = 'Bob';
$myarray['animal'] = 'Dog';
$myarray['one'] = 'Tree';
$myarray['hat'] = 'Flower';
$myarray = array_merge($myarray, $args);
return BOLTdisplay($pages, $args['template'], $zone, $myarray);
}
So either option could work, but this might be a bit easier. Kind of a
cool function actually.
BTW, the reason for this functionality is so you can easily pass
labels and things from a search function say directly into the output.
Or display things like the search query or groups, or whatever. Very
handy. More hidden treasures in BoltWire.
Cheers,
Dan
P.S. Sorry again about sending you "barking" up the wrong "tree".
