If I want to LOOP through a list of arrays, where do I store/write them? Do I nest them inside some other Tempcode like $SET or something?

I could write them out inline, like so:

Code

{+START,LOOP,a\,b\,c}...{+END}

But I'm not sure I want to go about it that way. If I could store them in a file or separate template on the server, that'd be cool, otherwise I suppose I could write them inline, I just think it looks messy.

Oh yes, and I'm new with arrays. Trying to broaden my Tempcode knowledge :thumbs:  :thumbs:  :lol:

You could put them into a variable using $SET, and include that using the INCLUDE directive. That would let you include them into multiple pages.

So, the syntax would be like this?

Code

{$SET,EXAMPLE,'EXAMPLE'=>array('a','b','c')}

No, that looks like PHP code, and Tempcode isn't based around PHP syntax at all. It would actually be much like what you had in your original code, just encapsulated as a parameter to SET rather than LOOP.

{$SET,EXAMPLE,a\,b\,c}
