Variable created in an article not available in form
Not sure if this will work, but if there’s a way it’ll save me a lot of replicated code.
I have a an article with this:
<txp:variable name="image_slide_category">news-events-slides</txp:variable>
<txp:output_form form="image_slides" />
<txp:variable name="image_slide_category">
Then in form “image_slides” I’m trying to use the variable “image_slide_category” like so
<txp:images category='<txp:variable name="image_slide_category" />' sort="alt asc" break="">##IMAGE CODE##</txp:images>
Nothing outputs from the form but the second call to the variable “image_slide_category” in the article outputs “news-events-slides”. If I hard code in “news-events-slides” into the images tag it works fine.
Can you not create a variable in an article and then use it in a form immediately after? I want to be able to use pass in a image category name into this form instead of creating a new one for each gallery with a different name.

The second <txp:variable name="image_slide_category">, is that a fault from posting or is that original code?

No, I put that in my Article code to check and see if I was able to get the variable to fire at all.

It should have a closing slash then.

Dinged around with it for a little while and figured out the issue. My form was not updating form some reason, It just all of a sudden started to work flipping to testing, refreshing, and flipping to live. must have been a product of working on this project too long today.
