Answered How to pass a parameter to a template variable of a different resource?

Hello, i am trying to pass a parameter to a template variable of a different resource but i am (probably) missing something.

Consider i have these 2 templates:
page1 (id:1)
page2 (id:2)

in page1 i want to call a template variable that is inside page2 and pass it a parameter. I am using fastField.

So in page1 i have the following code


while in page2 i have the template variable tvName that simply calls the parameter as follows


The problem is that in page1 i see only the static text "parameter value is: " from tvName of page2 without the parameter value passed from page1...
Hope you can help, thank you very much.

Is the placeholder in the TV itself, or on page2?

I haven't looked at the code, but AFAIK, FastField does not take properties. My guess is that it's ignoring everything after tvName.

Hello Bob and thanks for your reply. The placeholder is in the TV itself.
If FastField is really ignoring the property, do you have any clue on how i could achieve what i am looking for?

But by getting the template variable this way (with it's id) i am not getting the TV as it is defined inside the template/resource.

I mean that if the TV id is (10) while the id of the resource where it is defined is (2) by doing this

and this in a snippet


i am not getting the same result...correct?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but the snippet should replace the placeholder and FastField won't.

Sorry Bob after thinking a little bit, i used just the str_replace function from your snippet to achieve what i wanted and now it is working as expected!
Your solution was obviously working but was not giving me what i was looking for, my fault in posting the question.
You managed to give an answer to it anyway: thanks!!

I'm glad you got it sorted.
