The MergeSpecial Function.

I dont understand how I use the MergeSpecial function from the description in the TBS Manual.......

would it be this way:

index.tpl

Hi Mankiy,

No that not the point of the MergeSpecial() function.

MergeSpecial() will marge all [var.*] tags, or all [tbs_include] tags or all [sys.*] tags,...
Those tags are usually merged with the Show() function. But for very specific needs, i could be intersinting to merge some of them before.

If you want to merge only one tag, then the MergeField() function is for that. It can merge any tags with any value, even var or sys tags.

well, I only have one [var.something] tag i need merged ahead of time......

so, would MergeSpecial be like this then?

Yes.

Just to be more clear, if you have only one var tag, then the following issues are equilvalent :

or

k, and one thing, im having trouble with the
tbs_include.onload;file=[var.headdir];htmlconv=no

it isnt replacing the var.headdir and when i try the mergefield, it doesnt replace it either........

im getting these errors:


yet, i am doing the MergeSpecial on both include and var, and I do have the var $headdir in the file...

are you sure that $headdir is a global variable, not a local variable in a function ?

um....
no clue...

Its located in the index.tpl file

heres how my files are set....

index.php: root file
index.tpl: root/templates file
header.tpl: root/templates/test file

im guessing its global....

it will probably end up being in a while loop when im done though....

is the variable $headdir set before the LoadTemplate() function ?
TBS needs it at this time for the file inclusion.

oh!!!!!!

that can be arranged, i jsut put the vars in with allt he other vars i have, which is RIGHT after the LoadTemplate Function, TY! :)
