Hello,

how do I create a multi-dimensional array in the eZ template language without static assignments? I tried several approaches but all of them failed.

a naive approach that does not work but illustrates the task:

{for 0 to 6 as $x}
{set $tmparr = array()}
{for 0 to 6 as $y}
{set $data[$x][$y] = $x|mul($y)}
{/for}
{/for}

So I tried to use a temporary one-dimensional array and assign it to a column/row of the 2-dim array, as in:

{for 0 to 6 as $x}
{set $tmparr = array()}
{for 0 to 6 as $y}
{set $tmparr = $tmparr|append($x|mul($y))}
{/for}
{set $data[$x]=$tmparr}
{/for}

My research showed that it is not possble make an assignment with something else than a "variable" on the left side of the assignment operator, according to http://issues.ez.no/6981 for instance.

So, how can I achieve what I want in the eZ template language?

Thanks
Oliver

Something like this?

{def $data = array()
      $tmparr = array()}
{for 0 to 6 as $x}
    {set $tmparr = array()}
    {for 0 to 6 as $y}
        {set $tmparr = $tmparr|append( $x|mul($y) )}
    {/for}
    {set $data= $data|append( $tmparr )}
{/for}

Will multi-dimentional arrays have easier support when template component is introduced to Exponential?
http://ezcomponents.org/docs/tutorials/Template#array
I believe Exponential and the component itself would benefit greatly (if it doesn't support that already).

Hi,

It has been a big feature I've requested for a long time now, but it never appends... :-(
By the way, it seems it will be soon available in eZ 4.5, it will come with the ezcTemplate with some other cool stuff as : disappearing of and and or operators (yes !) and direct operations (like {5*3})...
