Low variables with grid and structure

Maarten 24 Apr 2014 10:38 problem, rejected

Hi,

I am trying to use structure with low variables and a grid field type to generate different menu's.

But I am only able to get the url for the structure entry. Any suggestions?

Working:

{exp:low_variables:parse var="main_navigation_left"}

• Page

{/exp:low_variables:parse}

{exp:low_variables:parse var="main_navigation_left"}

• {main_navigation_left:page:title}

{/exp:low_variables:parse}

   What's the variable type of the "main_navigation_left" variable? It's up to that variable to parse the content of it, so it's looking like LV itself isn't responsible for it...

   "main_navigation_left" is of type "grid"

   So what I mean is:
   
   {main_navigation_left:page} is parsing the URL of the structure entry.
   
   But I also need the title for instance. And I am not able to parse that (or any other field)

   LV only calls the Grid functions, after which Grid should take care of the parsing. If the cell not being parsed is a Structure field, then even that cell is responsible for it. You'll have to ask either EllisLab about Grid, or the guys over at Structure; there's not much I can do from a LV perspective, I'm afraid.

   Thanks Low for your reply. I already posted the question at the people at strucure. I will wait for their reply.
   
   Thanks again for the quick reply.

   To round this up. I got an answer of Travis (structure):
   
   "Do you mean the Structure field? All it does it return the URL – that's
   intended."
