If the requested URL is "/content/view/full/65" (or using URL alias that points to "/content/view/full/65"), the following output will be produced:

  • Writing out a single value

    I`d like to write out the NodeID by itself, but can`t seem to find a way to do this. While the following outputs the function_name value:

    {module_params.function_name}

    This for some reason fails to do the same for the NodeID:

    {module_params.>NodeID}

    Is there some other way I should do this, or might this feature be disabled for some good reason? Any help is appreciated.

      Found the answer to this slightly silly question: Apparently >NodeID and >ViewMode are elements in the array 'parameters', so the two values are accessible by using eg:

      {module_params()[parameters][NodeID]}

      Hope this saves somebody else a little pointless frustration.
