Description

I'm looking for a way to evaluate a variable inside a template. so far the only way I could think of implementing it would be:

in the manifest: 

klass="abc"

in the template: 

<%
begin
   classname = klass
rescue
   classname = "Unknown"
end
-%>
<% if classname = "abc" %>
something
<% end %>

it should be possible to use in a template: 

<& if defined(klass) &>
something
<% end %>

  • resolution set to duplicate.

ok, duplicate of #1177

ok, this enhancement require a feature which is not included in #1177. if you would like to check if a class is being included, the has_variable patch should check also for class names (which would mean to check also if the variable is a class name).

can anyone reopen this ticket?
