I am brand new to craft and have loved it so far. Only area that I'm having a hard time understanding is why I cannot use my template variables in my templates.
I am routing news/
to an action which then uses the renderTemplate()
method to do just that...render the template. The result is sent to the browser but it is accompanied by the following php error:
Fatal error: Cannot declare class Craft\WassermanNewsVaraible, because the name
is already in use in /usr/share/nginx/craft/plugins/myPlugin/variables/MyPluginVariable.php on line 5
So that tells me that the class is obviously already declared somewhere. If so how can I access it? I am currently trying to access it as the documentation describes and is shown below:
{% for item in craft.myPlugin.myMethod() %}
<div>
Test
</div>
{% endfor %}
Here is my template variable class which is in myPlugin/variables/
namespace Craft;
class MyPluginVaraible
{
public function myMethod(){
craft()->myPlugin->myMethod(); //which is in the service
}
}
Is there a difference between how templates are rendered via controllers as opposed to the regular behavior? I saw that the method had a second parameter however I still could not insatiate my template variables to pass that way as it was still already declared somewhere.
I've been banging away at this one for a while. Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
