merge VAR doesn't show

I have a script-A that merge with tmpl-A. In tmpl-A, embeded script-B and then script-B includes script-C.

Script-C basically merge and get the source of tmpl-C using TBS->Source. Subsequently, it pass the source to script-B that merge with tmpl-B for final output.

Problem is in script-C where i have a global variable varAAA="ABC" and when i merge with tmpl-C, the source shows [var.varAAA] instead of "ABC". However when I echo "$varAAA" from script-C it did shows "ABC" confirming that the variable is valid.

How do i go about solving this prolem. Pls help.

Hello,

This is probable because $varAAA is not a global variable.
You maybe have coded it as a global variable but scripts exexuted using parameter 'script=' don't have a global scope. They have the same scope as a user function.

Try to add
at the beginin or your sub-script and it should work.

Hi Skrol,
Adding global $varAAA to subscript script-B or script-C or both doesn't help at all.

Currently, I have an alternative solution to it by using TBS->MergeField('new_merge_var',array('varAAA'=>$varAAA)) and it works fine.

Just wondering if this problem was due to TBS as I noticed TBS->Source returned [var.varAA]

I also make another test by replacing TBS->Source with TBS->Show() in script-C and to my surprise, it did merge and display perfectly.

I'm using tbs-2.0

Hope my feedback will help... One last word, really fall in love with TBS :)

Ok, that is the clue!
When a data is merged with the template, TBS replaces '[' with '[' for security reason. This security can be avoid using parameter 'protect=no' ; This rotection is not activated for file inclusion but it is for script inclusion.

So you should just add parameter 'protect=no' to you TBS tag.

I will thing to see if it's more coehrent to have protection desactivated by default with parameter 'script', like it is for parameter 'file'.

Thank you so much Skrol... works with flying colors. 

Your support  worth a million dollars and TBS deserves the best template engine title. :)
