Availability of smarty variables

I am trying to edit the home page block for the Events Guide module. By default, it doesn't display the summary of an event. So, after looking at the eguide_item.html template page, I extrapolated that I could probably just put:

<{$event.disp_summary}>


but I was wrong, apparently that variable isn't available on the template that I am editing (eguide_block_top.html).

All sorts of other variables are available, do I need to load this one somehow?

Thanks for your help!

You need to define that smarty var somewhere before the template is called. Is there an array called $event with 'disp_summary' defined or a null value? If not then it will not show.

Thanks catz, no there isn't a place where that variable is defined in this block's template, but there isn't for any of the other variables either. There must be some place where the variables for a block are called - does anyone know? I'm a PHP novice and a XOOPS newb, so my sifting around is slow.

Thanks again!
