Pulling My Hair Out Trying to Get SpiderString

[amykhar]

I am trying to use unserialize to get the wol_spiders spiderstring out of the datastore. Nothing seems to be working. Does anybody have any suggestions (besides stop trying :D)

Using the special templates doesn't seem to work in CMPS modules.

This SHOULD do it, shouldn't it? But I keep getting an empty sting:


$spiderdatastore = unserialize($datastore['wol_spiders']);
$spiderstring = $spiderdatastore['spiderstring'];

Well, if wol_spiders wasn't in $specialtemplates before global.php was called, the associated data will not be in $datastore.

Either make sure that it is there, or use a query.

Bless you. I tracked it down and realized a couple of things.
1. The special templates for CMPS are added in global.php
2. I didn't have to use unserialize.

Plus, I upgraded CMPS just to make sure. It's finally working right. :)
