Hello,

I am trying to assign some value to the $CMS_SET(variable) and rendering the variable inside the $CMS_VALUE(variable).But it is empty values.

Why this behaviour is happening?

$CMS_SET(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline)$$CMS_VALUE(content.stage_overlay_headline,default:"")$$CMS_END_SET$
 <wcs:overlayLinkHeadline><![CDATA[$CMS_VALUE(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline,default:"")$]]></wcs:overlayLinkHeadline>
<!--setValue(content.stage_overlay_headline): $CMS_VALUE(content.stage_overlay_headline)$-->
<!--setValue(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline): $CMS_VALUE(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline)$-->

Output in the xml file:

  <!--setValue(content.stage_overlay_headline): This is the test OverlayHeadLine-->
        <!--setValue(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline): -->

Why here setOverlayLinkNewHeadline is null and empty value?if i use $CMS_VALUE(content.stage_overlay_headline)$ this it is working and displaying the headline properly.

thanks,

Siva

Hello Siva,

I can't find any mistakes.

Where comes "content.stage_overlay_headline" from? Which FS version do you use?

Hello Jan-Philipp,

I am generating an lap_feed_news_bgn_UPDATE.xml file inside the atomfeed format template.

If render the setOverlayLinkNewHeadline inside the xml value ,It always shows empty.

If i render like content.stage_overlay_headline means it is fetching the db column values and displaying the entered text properly.

  <wcs:overlayLinkHeadline><![CDATA[$CMS_VALUE(content.stage_overlay_headline,default:"")$]]></wcs:overlayLinkHeadline>

Hi Siva,

is there a reason why you don't use

$CMS_SET(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline)$$CMS_VALUE(stStageOverlayHeadline,default:"")$$CMS_END_SET$

?

Hello Jan-Philipp,

Thank you for your reply.

Its a testing content. I just declared in the top of the page like ,

$CMS_SET(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline,"")$ and tried

$CMS_SET(setOverlayLinkNewHeadlinenew, content.stage_overlay_headline)$

But no use..its testing purpose added....

I have done the mapping for the only one Database Schema.

in my project i have almost 64+ Schemas...For the initial version i am working for only one DB schema.later point of time i will implement for all the 64+ DB schema Templates.Do you think this could cause the problem??

Please refer the images,

Thank you,

Siva

Hi Siva,

I don't get the context where you use setOverlayLinkNewHeadline exactly. If you are inside a table template (table templates are like section templates but the data behind the form is coming from a database record) you can not directly refer to database columns (except some rare occasions). You must use the form element's name which represents the column.

So, let's say I have a column myText inside a table. In the mapping tab I specify that this column maps against the form elment with name tt_my_text. Then I could do the follwoing in the HTML channel

$CMS_SET(setOverlayLinkNewHeadline, tt_my_text)$

Later I could output the value of setOverlayLinkNewHeadline like this

$CMS_VALUE(tt_my_text)$

Don't think that the number of schemas matter in this case or you did not tell us all we need to know.
