Hi all,
Just a quick one. Could someone tell me how to reference a variable defined
within a metal macro from within a slot?
In particular, I'd like to define a macro that generates a calendar grid of
days and then use a slot to provide varying content to be rendered within the
'day' cells. I am trying to do this as a macro accepting an array and looping
through the array content. This works fine but when I then try to split out the
cell content into a slot, I receive errors that I can't access the current loop
value (or, by my understanding, any other variables defined within the metal
macro) from the slot.
A quick (very simplified) example...
The macro block (in macro.xhtml):
<tal:block>
<table metal:define-macro="calendarMonthGrid">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>monday</th><th>tuesday</th><th>wednesday</th><th>thursday</th><th>friday</th><th>saturday</th><th>sunday</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tal:block tal:repeat="currentDay days">
<td>
<tal:block
metal:define-slot="calendarDayContent" />
</td>
</tal:block>
</tbody>
</table>
</tal:block>
The main page and slot:
<tal:block tal:define="days monthDays"
metal:use-macro="macro.xhtml/calendarMonthGrid">
<div metal:fill-slot="dialogContent">
<span tal:content="currentDay/someInterestingInfo" /> <-----
this bit fails with an error regarding currentDay not being defined
</div>
</tal:block>
All help appreciated :D
Robert
