Accessing variables in custom template file in Client Area output

[mcpacific]

I am creating a custom module, for which I have the following function:

 

function mymodule_ClientArea($vars) {
   return array(
       'templatefile' => 'clienthome',
       'vars' => array(
           'test1' => 'hello',
           'test2' => 'world',
       ),
   );
}

 

In my file 'clienthome.tpl' I have the following:

 

{php}

echo $vars['test1'].'<br>';

{/php}

 

It seems that the variable isn't being passed, nothing shows. If I apply gettype($vars), it returns null. What am I doing wrong?

you may need to call the variable like that:

{$test1}

{$test1}

 

I tried that also, but it doesn't work either.

note: you need to place "clienthome.tpl" inside the addon module directory

Yes, of course. Although, I assume you meant the modules/servers/mymodule folder.

Ok, well I figured it out. I accidentally left off the dollar sign... it should be {$test1}. Thank you sentq! I guess I didn't notice that in your reply.
