1: master.tcl Template Scope
Posted by James Thornton on 09/10/03 11:35 PM
I have this proc loaded from openacs/tcl/moto-procs.tcl...

proc moto_dealer { var } {

    set dealer_id [moto_get_dealer_id]
    array set moto_dealer [nsv_array get moto_dealer]
    return $moto_dealer($dealer_id,$var)
}

If I call it from normal Tcl page such as index.tcl, it works fine. But, if I call it from a template page such as master.tcl, I get this error:

can't read "moto_dealer(73,name)": no such element in array

So, what is [nsv_array get ...] returning differently under the two circumstances? Maybe the nsv array moto_dealer is somehow not set when you call it from the wrapping template due to some difference in execution logic? The code sure looks ok to me.

without knowing how you're indexing moto_dealer it's a bit hard to guess, but I'd suspect that the literal "name" in your error is perhaps meant to be the content of a var called "name"... Is the call to moto_dealer perhaps
set foo [moto_dealer name]
where it should be
set foo [moto_dealer $name]
