Well, assuming your loop is working, try this:

{let myvar=array()}

  {section var=Polldata loop=fetch('content','list',hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,sort_by,$node.sort_array))}

    {let kd=$Polldata.data_map.polloutcome.content}
    {set myvar=$myvar|append($kd)}
    {/let} 

  {/section}

  {set-block scope=root variable=myvar}{$myvar}{/set-block}
  {jpgraph('test1', $myvar, 2) }

{/let}

Hi Nathaniel

I stumbled upon the same thing: a template operator for Gantt charts with jpgraph. Finally the template operator we wrote fetches the data itself. If this is not desirable, you could use an <b>{append-block}</b> to a global string variable, seperated for instance with a ','. After the loop you can use the explode operator to create an array out of the string and pass this to your template operator.

@paul forsyth

Does appending in a loop works the way you stated? I'm puzzled by your code :-)

Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it.

So the code that Paul ( Forsyth) posted still returns an empty array. I think my confusion here comes from a lack of a in-depth understanding of how exactly the different name spaces work, and how to get data from a loop to the (global?) namespace, so I can use it as a single array.

However, the post by Paul (Borgermans) about using the append-block command got me thinking, and I ended up this code: 

 
{let myvar=array() 

  {section var=Polldata loop=fetch('content','list',hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,sort_by,$node.sort_array))}
{append-block scope=global variable=myvar}{$Polldata.data_map.polloutcome.content}{/append-block}
{/section}

{jpgraph ("test2", $myvar, 2)}
{/let}  
{/let}

And what do you know, but it works! :-)

Thanks to everyone who responded,
Nathaniel
