Passing Variables as Array
Development and Programming
17 years ago
Hi, can I pass the variables as an array as opposed to value=key pairs?
I am thinking along these lines:
{exp:my_plugin options="array('maxWords'=>45,'linkName'=>'goto','alwaysLink'=>'yes','break'=>'')"}
something
{/exp:word_limit_plus}This refers to a plugin.

Sure, though you would need to parse the structure on your own with the plugin, and it would be a departure from conventional ExpressionEngine syntax, which would not be friendly if your plugin is intended for use by others.

Ah, ok. So EE would rather see the variable names expressively used … I concede the point that it makes it easier for people that don’t program a lot. I just love the shorthand notation …
So I’ll probable implement both 😊 Thanx for the answer!
