Thanks, that works, but I'm still a bit confused about the passing of hashrefs
to object methods from within TT. This does not work:
[% images = product.images( { 'image_type' => 1 } ); %]
Given the comments in the docs at
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Variables.html#Hash_Array_References
under "You can use Perl's familiar..." however, I would have expected the
following to work (and it doesn't):
[%
criteria = {
'image_type' => 1
};
images = product.images( criteria );
%]
Is the problem here simply that TT doesn't allow you to pass a hashref to an
object method?
