Template code to modify an array element?

[Kent Multer]

I feel like I should already know this ...
I need to modify the value of an array element in template code. Initially I wrote something in the form:

<mvt:assign name="l.settings:MyArray[l.settings:ElementNumber]:someMember" value="l.NewValue" />

But that's not allowed; and according to the docs, you can't use the index or member attributes in mvt:assign like you can in regular Miva Script MvASSIGN.

The only solution I've thought of is to:

• Copy the array element to a temporary variable,
• delete the element from the array,
• modify the temporary variable, and
• Insert the temporary element back into the array.

But that seems kind of klugey. Is there a better way, and I've just forgotten?

I think the forum has been requesting that feature for years.

I still have to use the Toolbelt for array indexing in template code.

You could probably write a small utility module for just that purpose.
