This is my code so far " {def $animal = fetch('content', 'list', hash('parent_node_id', 34'))} {def $table_rows =''} {set-block variable=$table_rows} <tr> <td>{pdf( 'text', $animal.name\|wash( 'pdf' ))}</td> </tr> <tr> <td>{pdf($animal.data_,map.age.content\|wash(pdf))}</td> </tr> {/set-block} {pdf(table, $table_rows, hash('showLines',2) )} " The code is located in a overrride template, main.tpl. That happends when i run this code it just return blank, nothing happends. I don't understand what the problem is. Any ideas? Edit: Does the table function only works with data that comes from a xmlblock?

I want to create a table with animal names and the animals age. I have tried to create a table with pdf table function, but i can't make this work. This is my code so far

{def $animal = fetch('content', 'list', hash('parent_node_id', 34'))}
{def $table_rows =''}

{set-block variable=$table_rows}
<tr>
<td>{pdf( 'text', $animal.name|wash( 'pdf' ))}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{pdf($animal.data_,map.age.content|wash(pdf))}</td>
</tr>
{/set-block}
{pdf(table, $table_rows, hash('showLines',2) )}

The code is located in a overrride template, main.tpl. That happends when i run this code it just return blank, nothing happends. I don't understand what the problem is. Any ideas?
