Concatenating with <txp:variable />

Can I concatenate two <txp:variable />‘s

<txp:variable name=“a” value=“concat” />
<txp:variable name=“b” value=“enate” />

then

<txp:variable name=“c” value=”<txp:variable name=“a” /><txp:variable name=“b” />” />

I’ve tried a few combinations but I’ve had no luck.

Is it possible?

Thanks
Geoff

Re: Concatenating with <txp:variable />

<txp:variable name="a" value="concat" />
<txp:variable name="b" value="enate" />
<txp:variable name="c" value="<txp:variable name='a' /><txp:variable name='b' />" />

Echo c: <txp:variable name="c" />

It’s an issue on apostrophes!

Re: Concatenating with <txp:variable />

Yes, except to do tags within tags you need single quotes around the enclosed tag, as in:

<txp:variable name="c" value='<txp:variable name="a" /><txp:variable name="b" />' />


Code is topiary

Thanks for your help.

The single tags work.

Hacking adi_calc and adding a few string operations made it easier too. (Prefix & Suffix)

Cheers

Re: Concatenating with <txp:variable />

Hi folks.

It seems <txp:variable> can manipulate only string values.
Do you think we can change the values to manipulate integers?

Best regards,


Patrick.

See adi_calc for arithmetic with txp:variable.

Re: Concatenating with <txp:variable />

As always, a good advice Stef :))

Tks.

Another question :

What is the impact of plugins into a front-end TXP website performances?
I know TXP 4.0.7 includes a new loading feature for plugins. Combinate with your/Yura/Steve ied_plugin_composer we can manage ressources.

Some infos will be appreciate.

OT: how long is a piece of string :-P

It depends on:

  1. the plugin code — if it does a lot with callbacks or does little in addition to when it is used in your templates
  2. the plugin type — only Client+Admin type is loaded now, with Library plugins loaded only if required. The database index helps
  3. the plugin size — bigger plugins probably take longer to read, though not by much (but use the large smd_ plugins as a last resort!)
  4. if the plugin begins with rvm_ or wet_ — they nearly always use a tonne of core features that us lesser mortals have to find first, and those plugins tend to be very small, very fast and totally focused on the job
