Squiz Matrix Simple JSON Helper Snippet

When first setting up a Design in Squiz Matrix I have started to add a little helper JSON snippet so that I can always reference the current page's info in Javascript if I ever need to. It uses simple MySource design tags along with JSON and is extremely helpful. Just add the following to the bottom of your Design parse file:

<script type="text/javascript">
var page = {id:'<MySource_print var="assetid" />',name:'<mysource_print var="asset_name" escape="yes" />',url:'<mysource_print var="asset_url" escape="yes" />'}
</script>

Once added, it will look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var page = {id:'86',name:'Blog',url:'http://www.zedsaid.com/blog'}
</script>

You can then easily reference the page object using normal dot notation:

alert('Page Name: '+page.name+' ID: '+page.id+' URL: '+page.url);
