Php code in a partial

Need Help
#1

My layouts/home.htm has this :

        <!-- Header -->
        {% partial 'site/header' %}

        <!-- Nav -->
        {% partial 'site/nav-links' %}

        <!-- Marquee -->
        {% partial 'site/marquee' %}

partials/site/marquee.htm :

[collection announcements]
handle = "Announcement"
==
<?php
function onStart()
{
    dd($this->announcements);
}
?>
==
<div>
code
</dob>

dd returns null even though I added content in the backend - even for other Tailors like events etc.
So a partial can’t have this ?

[collection announcements]
handle = "Announcement"
==
<?php
function onStart()
{
    dd($this->announcements);
}
?>
==

How else do I have access

Hi @anjanesh

can you share more about your tailor blueprint ?

I got it solved (using Gemini) by placing this in the home.htm layout :

##
description = "Default layout"

[collection announcements]
handle = "Announcement"
==

And in themes/demo/partials/site/marquee.htm

==
<?php
function onStart()
{
    if ($this->announcements)
    {
        $this['activeAnnouncements'] = $this->announcements
        ->where('is_active', true)
        ->orderBy('priority', 'asc')
        ->get();
    }
    else
    {
        $this['activeAnnouncements'] = collect([]);
    }

    $this['activeAnnouncements'] = $this->announcements;
}
?>
==
{% if activeAnnouncements|length > 0 %}
<code>
{% endif %}

It seems

[collection announcements]
handle = "Announcement"

can’t be placed in a partial like themes/demo/partials/site/marquee.htm ?

this is my announcement.yaml file :

uuid: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
handle: Announcement
type: structure
name: Announcement
drafts: false

fields:
    message:
        label: Announcement Message
        type: text
        placeholder: 'Announcement Message'
        validation:
            - required

    is_active:
        label: Active
        type: switch
        default: true

    priority:
        label: Display Order
        type: number
        default: 100

columns:
    message:
        label: Message
        searchable: true

    is_active:
        label: Active
        type: switch

navigation:
    icon: icon-bullhorn
    order: 700

My composer.json :

    "require": {
        "php": "^8.5.0",
        "october/rain": "^4.0",
        "laravel/framework": "^12.0",
        "october/all": "^4.0"
    },

I thought I was using October CMS 4.1
