P&T List not parsing tag correctly

AboutWout 6 Jan 2011 22:52 question, complete

Hi Low,

I'm having some difficulty when using P&T List as a variable type. I have a pretty simple tag pair set up like this: 

<ul id="some_id"> 
 {low_var_name} 
   <li>{item}</li> 
 {/low_var_name} 
 </ul>


You would expect a nicely outputted list, but instead I get: 

<ul id="some_id"> 
    All list items here... 
   <li>{item}</li> 
   {/low_var_name} 
 </ul>


But! When I use the 'long' syntax it does work as expected, but obviously I'm trying to keep my query load as slim as possible. 

// Long syntax 
 <ul id="some_id"> 
   {exp:low_variables:parse var="low_var_name"}           
     <li>{item}</li> 
   {/exp:low_variables:parse} 
 </ul>


Any ideas?

Greetz,
Wouter

    Actually, using the 'extra' parsing options like with P&T List, you'll always need to use the 'long' syntax. Don't worry about the query load too much -- Low Variables will only add 1 query when using the {exp} template tags, even when there are multiple in the template.

    Okay... couldn't find it in the docs, so I was kinda stumped when it didn't work.

    Thanks for the answer!

    Yeah, I guess I should mention that there. I'll put it on the todo list. :)
