Clarify stash:extend params

[timkelty]

I wanted to set replace="no" on stash:extend, just as I would on a set or stash:embed.

It appears to work, but the wiki doesn't say it accepts params from set or embed, so I just wanted to make sure that made sense to do.

How about process="start" parse="no", should those work the same too?

Basically, I'm trying to replace this code with a stash:extend:

{exp:stash:set
  name="content"
  replace="no"
}
  {stash:embed:views:page
    process="start"
    parse="no"
  }
{/exp:stash:set}

{exp:stash:extend} supports all the SET parameters, since you are effectively setting a variable with the embed as the value. You can't pass parameters to the embed beyond embed variables in the form stash:my_var="value".

Extend is really just a convenience tag to make the block/extension template inheritance pattern explicit. Likewise a Stash embed is really just a wrapper for stash:get. It's all about the semantics.

If you need more control over the embed being passed then you can do that explicitly with a {exp:stash:set} wrapped around an embed, as you have above.

[croxton]

Well I'm wrong (forgot!), you can pass parameters to the embed. I'm not sure it's as legible though?

   {exp:stash:extend:block name="content" with="views:page process='start' parse='no'"}
        {stash:my_var}value{/stash:my_var}
   {/exp:stash:extend:block}

Or as a single tag

   {exp:stash:extend name="content" with="views:page process='start' parse='no'"}

Yep, makes sense to me.

Thanks!

Is it possible to do this with a list item as well? Or would you have to just do:

{stash:foo}{stash:embed:my_view process="start" parse="no"}{/stash:foo}

[croxton]

Yes, if that is in the host EE template it should work. If not, you may need to prefix the embed with exp: - {exp:stash:embed:my_view ...}

Thanks!
