Definedynamic problem with Fasttemplate

[Anon]

Hi,

I have this script:

$tpl->define_dynamic(rel_art, "article");

$tpl->assign(array(
RELATED_TYPE => $related_type,
RELATED_ARTICLE_ID => $ref->rel_link_id,
RELATED_NAME => $rel_art_names
));

$tpl->parse("RELATED_LINKS", ".rel_art");

$tpl->parse("ARTICLE", "article");

My article.tpl look like this
<p><small>{DATE}</small><br>
{HEADLINE}</p>
<p><i>{AUTHOR}</i></p>
<p>{PARAGRAPH}<br><br>

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: rel_art -->
<a href="http://www.{RELATED_TYPE}.php?id={RELATED_ARTICLE_ID}">{RELATED_NAME}</a><br>
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: rel_art -->

But instead of writing dynamic HTML code it write RELATED_LINKS the parse name I gave it. All over the documentation there is nothing about what to put here:
$tpl->parse("RELATED_LINKS", ".rel_art");

If I change to "RELATED_LINKS" to something else nomatter what it will just get writing on the site. Does anybody know how to fix this.

I ran into this exact problem as well, and haven't fixed it 100% yet, but at least I got the dynamic content to output by enclosing the assigned name in brackets, in your case {RELATED_LINKS}, and then inserting that into the template itself after the dynamic block definition.

I still am suffering a residual output of the assigned name as well. If anyone else has any info on how to eliminate said output, it would be highly appriciated.

OK, just found the solution. It is a problem with the FastTemplate class itself. You need to find the following line:

$newParent .= "{$MacroName}\n";

And change it for this:

$newParent .= '{'."$MacroName}\n";

Forget what I had said earlier about putting the assigned name in brackets.
