I'm just getting the hang of the EZ template language. I'm familiar with coding in Perl/PHP, etc. Basic question: I have created a hash like this:

{let myhash=hash('key1','val1')}

How can I change the value for key1? I've tried all kinds of variations like:
$myhash[key1]="val2"

But this doesn't work. I tried some of the array functions like merge but that didn't work either. Ideas?

thanks!

Hi Aaron

I think I looked into this a couple of versions ago and didn't find a solution. Have you tried using the set operator ?

Cheers

{set myhash=hash('key1','val1')}

In case anyone else has this question, I've found the following to work:

{set myhash=$myhash|merge( hash( 'key1','newVal' ) )}

Remark: You cannot use numeric keys in a hash !

In case you have to create a hash based on numeric keys within a loop, here is my code:

{section loop=... var=result}
  {set list=$list|merge( hash(
    '_'|append($result.item.contentobject_id),
    'some values...' ) ) }
{/section}

This is useful when doing computation !
