[jifty-devel] MASON error in tutorial

[Malte Ubl]

Hey,

I just installed Jifty on MacOS X 10.4 and started doing the tutorial
application.

Entering posts via the administration interface works, however when I
copy the code from the tutorial to view the posts I get a mason error.
I am new to mason (long time template toolkit fan), so it is hard to
say why this is failing:

Error:
Global symbol "$post" requires explicit package name at
/Users/malte/jifty/MyWeblog/share/web/templates/index.html line 10.
Global symbol "$post" requires explicit package name at
/Users/malte/jifty/MyWeblog/share/web/templates/index.html line 11.


Code:
<%init>
  my $posts = MyWeblog::Model::PostCollection->new();
  $posts->unlimit();
  </%init>

  <&|/_elements/wrapper, title =>
Jifty->config->framework('ApplicationName') &>
  <dl>
  % while (my $post = $posts->next) {
   <dt><%$post->title%></dt>
   <dd><%$post->body%></dd>
  % }
  </dl>
  </&>

When I try out the AJAX-driven variant I get the same error within the
page_of_posts fragment.

The whole thing seems to be a scoping problem. When I define $post
within the init-block at the top the error goes away but $post is
empty when the method title ist called, so I guess that the my $post
definition is somehow not visible on the next line.

I'm probably missing something really obvious, but thanks for your
help and great work anyway!
