setvar

Type: modifier

This template tag will assign the output of a block or function tag to the variable specified in the attribute.

Example

Dump the output of a function tag into a variable. This will also suppress the output of this tag. Use this instead of <mt:setvarblock> when the block only contains the value of a tag.

<$mt:BlogID setvar="foo"$>

Dump the output of a block tag into a variable. This will also suppress the output of this tag. Use this when the the first and only child of the <mt:setvarblock> tag would be a block tag.

<mt:Entries setvar="foo">
    <$mt:EntryTitle$>
</mt:Entries>
