if I call a render asset handler, how do I isolate asset conditionally.

peregrine

e.g.
public function CategoriesController_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler($Sender) {

if I only want something to act on the content, but not the footer, not the header and not the panel.

what would be the way to test for that?

I haven't been successful in retrieving the AssetName out of wherever it is.

Is it even possible to check for the asset it is about to render.

Is this a stupid question or do the people who know just ignore my questions?

If you don't see me answering any of your questions or posting on the board as frequently.

• its because I will be trying to solve the numerous unanswered questions that I have posted and never have been responded to or answered. I'll be back when either I figure out the answers or someone else provides some help to them.

@x00

if it is not clear.

I was trying to echo something to the Content Asset after the event BeforeRenderAsset

public function CategoriesController_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler($Sender) {

since there is no other event just for ContentAsset in Vanilla 2.1

so if something is echoed in this function it gets echoed to the footer, panel, header, and every other assert with respect to the CategoryController.

I can remedy it by displaying none for the other asset classes in the css, but what is the better way besides adding my on event.

You seemed to be on to something similar in the CategoryAccordion plugin, but I'm stumped. And you seem to be the only one with the know how who is willing to help occasionally.

have a look at the pokets plugin

public function Base_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler($Sender) {
    $AssetName = GetValueR('EventArguments.AssetName', $Sender);
}

will do. thanks much, you are the "superstar" in this forum @x00.

If I get it working with that, which seems pretty easy, it should make my plugin better.
