smarty tag within a smarty tag

Question

hi im dealing with the CTLModuleMaker in , i have this

 {cms_module module="image_mod_test" what="image" where_project="{$item->id}" orderby="priority,id" template="inner_galleries"}

notice the {$item->id} for where_project, that thing doesn't work i basically want the id of the currently iterating object to show up in place of {$item->id}. i think it doesn't want to accept a smarty tag within a smarty tag,

any ideas what i should do,,

Answer 1

Embedding Vars in Double Quotes

• Smarty will recognize assigned variables embedded in "double quotes" so long as the variable name contains only numbers, letters and under_scores. See naming for more detail.

• With any other characters, for example a period(.) or $object->reference, then the variable must be surrounded by backticks.

So try this:

{cms_module module="image_mod_test" what="image" where_project="`$item->id`" orderby="priority,id" template="inner_galleries"}
