A template's index.tpl uses included templates to render portions of the page like this:

    {if $condition_1}{include file="content_1.tpl"}{/if}
    {if $condition_2}{include file="content_2.tpl"}{/if}
    {if $condition_3}{include file="content_3.tpl"}{/if}

Those included files fetch entries for a particular category using a specified entries template, such as:

Code: Select all

{serendipity_fetchPrintEntries limit="0,5" category=1 noCache=false fetchDrafts=false full=false use_footer=false prevent_reset=true filter_sql="$filter" template="entries_1.tpl"}

After fetching the entries, that same template sets or appends $filter so entries are not fetched again by the next included template's category.

My problem is that $filter does not survive from one included file to the next. Is there any way to do this?

have you made your variable global?

Yeah, that's pretty much the direction I took, plus I added the entire filter process to a function.

maybe try to use the var everywhere as $_GLOBAL['varname']. Than it have to be reachable everywhere you use it.

Sorry - I did not make myself clear. I solved the problem by making the variable global as you suggested.

Ok, happy to hear that
