Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Development, Plugins and Globals: Weird bug/issue

Hi,

Just came across a little bit of a weird issue with the <%category%> tag on home.html

Using a simple global:

recode_category_tag

Code:
sub { 
  my $in = $_[0]; 
  $in =~ s/100\%/90\%/; 
  return $in; 
}

..then calling with:

Code:
<%recode_category_tag($category)%>

..I just get an CODE(xxxxxx) text showing.

After some playing around, this worked:

Code:
<%set cattmp = $category%> 
<%recode_category_tag($cattmp)%>

..but just wondering why this is the case? Surely <%category%> is just a basic HTML tag (with the list of categories) ???

Not a biggie - was just wondering why it didn't work as I was expecting Angelic

Cheers
