Problem with curly brackets

Post by Ciao121 »

On a template file I have to use:

Code: Select all

var xxxx = {};	
bute when I open the page, in the source code I can see:

Code: Select all

var xxxx = ;	
Curly brackets are stripped down.
I think this is because curly brackets are used for template variables.
Should I escape them in any way?

Thank you!

Try

Code: Select all

var my_var ='{MY_VAR}';

Old, but I spent HOURS with something similar for my phpbb 3.2 installation and this post and this other (locked) where top results in search engines.


Let's say you want to print:

Code: Select all

{HELLO}
Yo have to do following substitutions:

Code: Select all

{ ---> {{'{'}}
} ---> {{'}'}}
Final code:

Code: Select all

{{'{'}}HELLO{{'}'}}


Explanation: With "{{" you bypass simple phpbb template sintax and go straight twig syntax. {{'xxx'}} in twig means "print literal xxx" and that's what it does.

Probably you can also use:

Code: Select all

{{'{HELLO}'}}
But I stopped at 1st solution, I'm really tired.
