How to convert the type 'string' or 'integer' in an array ?

Tuesday 12 December 2006 12:24:24 am

Hello,

I have 2 arrays like this :

tab1 :

Attribute Type Value
id_objet_film integer 126
annee string 2006
mois string 'Décembre'
date_reference string 'val'

tab2 :

Attribute Type Value
id_objet_film object[ezcontentobjectattribute] Object
annee object[ezcontentobjectattribute] Object
mois object[ezcontentobjectattribute] Object
date_reference object[ezcontentobjectattribute] Object

my problem is that i want to have the same structure for these arrays (like the tab2), but i don't know how to convert a string or integer (from the tab1) into object[ezcontentobjectattribute] (like the tab2), with the template language !!!
Can you help me ?
Thanks
Anthony

I think I hear a familiar if not all too common case when a user is looking to understand quickly how to work within Exponential.

<b>Stage #1 - Understanding Exponential template language</b>

To understand that while Exponential is very flexible, you often must learn how to work within the provided constructs in Exponential.

It would seem you are learning to use the 'attribute()' operator to display the current node/content object's attributes.

You can 'select' a content object's information. To my knowledge there is not a way to alter the content object's information using template language directly, this is a task best left to php.

Strings can be turned into Arrays in template language in the following way.

{def $folder_id=array(1,2,3,4,5)}
