I created the InstantWeather Module. Okay. Now I have there an variable for example “$iwm_metar”.

Now, how can I show THIS $iwm_metar variable on the frontpage_main for example? Now it works only for the Module-page of InstantWeather.

Hope you understand now^^

 

THANKS

I do not know if something like this can be done (directly getting a variable from a function without running it). What you can do is creating a new function in your module and call it in your frontpage using the following part of code:

<?php MainController::Run('YOUR_MODULE_NAME', 'YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME', 'SET HERE ANY FUNCTION PARAMETERS IF ANY); 
?>

And anything you echo inside the function will be shown where you placed the above part of code.

Mh… I tried something like this, is it correct?

I first added a function

public function get\_metar() { echo "HELLO"; }

and then I added the code in my frontpage_main

\<?php MainController::Run('InstantWeather', 'get\_metar()'); ?\>

 

Nothing happens. Even if I declare a new variable in the get_metar() function and ask for it in the frontpage. Any ideas?

Use this:

\<?php MainController::Run('InstantWeather', 'get\_metar', ''); ?\>

Use this:

<?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘get_metar’, ‘’); ?>
