[SOLVED] Passing in variables into theme

[Michael Poznecki, modifié il y a 15 années.]

Hello,
I have created a new theme. How can I dynamically pass in some values? Depending on what a user chooses in a dropdown listbox, I want to display some information in a <div> in the theme.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Michael

Theme can access the request and thus any query parameter given to the page.

Hi Mika Koivisto could u plz explain in more details...............

Mika is saying $request will give you access to the request... thus you can do $request.getParameter("parameter")

Note that the parameter will not be namespaced so you should make sure that you don't namespace it also in your form.

You can also insert values by sticking into the velocity context. Check out VelocityVariables

Thanks guys. The Velocity Variables worked. I found a couple of examples on the web.

and

Ok,
so I would like to create a new array of information that can be access at any time while the user is logged in. I don't think that this can go into a velocity variable, so what can I use?

Thanks,
Michael

Can you tell us more by what it needs to be accessed by? Portlets or
themes?

I need to be able to access my array at any time. Basically it is additional user information. I can take the array and get what I need out of it to put into a velocity variable, so in practice I really don't need to access the array from a theme.

Just store it in the session and ignore putting it in the velocity context. I say that just in case you need to grab it from portlets.
