sebibu Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Thanks to all three of you! Learned something new again. I'm on PHP8 and because the $page object should be existent on every page, this should be sufficient and works great: <body n:class="$page->category?->value"> 👏🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebibu Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Directly another question.😇 To save the editor the trouble of entering a dropdown field, I would like to determine the value of a dropdown field in the next (and probably only) pagetree-upper page having a template with template-id e.g. = 50. Is this also possible only with Latte or do I have to determine the value in PHP first?😅 Thx!👋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernhard Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 I don't understand the question and it's probably a bit offtopic for a "why I love latte" thread 😉 But you can use regular PW API inside Latte. That's why latte is so great, it parses templates to regular PHP so you can do anything that PHP can do. Though this should be used with caution, as you should also try to keep your latte files clean, so whenever you need more complex logic use custom page classes and put the logic there in a custom method, so you can do {$page->my_custom_dropdown_value()} for example. If it's simple you can do {$page->parent->dropdown_value} instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I do love Latte, but one little thing is puzzling me at the moment: namespaces. I am using custom page classes for all my 'business logic' - e.g a method getEmailHash() in the custom page class called in the Latte script with $page->getEmailHash(). The class has the namespace ProcessWire. It seems that I always need to specify the namespace in the method - i.e. $page->ProcessWire\getEmailHash(). Is there a way of avoiding this?

bernhard Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 If you have a look at the RockFrontend Site Profile you'll see that it should work without namespaces: https://github.com/baumrock/site-rockfrontend/blob/3c6dcc3d6a73432f4a98f5d47bec9858fa1fbd23/templates/sections/footer.latte#L17 https://github.com/baumrock/site-rockfrontend/blob/3c6dcc3d6a73432f4a98f5d47bec9858fa1fbd23/classes/HomePage.php#L27 I have no idea why the syntax you mention would work. I've never seen adding a namespace on the method call of an object 😮 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) 3 hours ago, bernhard said: If you have a look at the RockFrontend Site Profile you'll see that it should work without namespaces: It works for me too in a similar context - i.e. when calling it to output: i.e in {$page->foo()} - but not when called in a variable declaration - ie. {var $foo = $page->foo()} That's when I seem to need {var $foo = $page->ProcessWire\foo()}. Odd. EDIT - Correction: The issue occurs not with page classes but just with functions defined in init.php (which is in the ProcessWire namespace.
