Block not rendered, I'm becoming crazy!!!

i have a complex situation where a block is not being rendered, and I'm becoming crazy trying to figure out why. If someone can help, I'll be very grateful.

I'm going to simplify it a lot.

I execute this code:
    switch($action) {
        case "add":
            include_once("add.php");
            break;
    }
    $app["TBS"]->MergeField("action","$action")

where "add.php" is
    $sql="select * from categories order by name";
    $rs=$app["db_".$app["name"]]->query($sql);
    sqlError($rs,$sql);
    $categories=fetchAllAssoc($rs);
    $app["TBS"]->MergeBlock("bCategories",$categories);

At the end, $category contains
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => Abbigliamento
            [avgvalue] => 0
            [id_creator] => 1
            [created] => 2016-09-14 07:06:48
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => Cibo e Bevande
            [avgvalue] => 0
            [id_creator] => 1
            [created] => 2016-09-14 07:05:16
        )

)

Then I load a template like that

<h2>Gestione Beni</h2>
[onshow;file=/home/pwrs/powers.money/templates/pwrs/goods/add.htm;when action='add']

than calls a subtemplate like that

<h3>Aggiungi Bene</h3>

<form id="mainform" action="/pwrs/goods/add/" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="db" value="1">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="id_category">Categoria</label>
        <select class="form-control" id="id_category" name="id_category">
            <option value="[bCategories.id;block=option]">[bCategories.name]</option>
        </select>
    </div>
more html
</form>

But instead of having the content of $categories replaced in the block, I get the TBS directives printed on screen as they are. TBH, it seems no TBS code is replaced. The subtemplate is loaded but not parsed.

What I'm doing wrong?

Hi Flodi,

Your field « [onshow;file=...] » is merged at the very end, when you cann $TBS->Show(), not before.
That's why, when you do MergeBlock("bCategories"), that is before Show() as I can guess, the corresponding block is not yet existing in the template.

You have to use [onload] instead of [onshow], or use a field that you manually merge with MergeField().
