Visitor variable question

[Jim Boy]

I am modifying a template that is part of a bespoke add-on that I have inherited. I'm try to use the $visitor variable, but it doesn't seem to be available.

For example if I put
{xen:helper dump, $visitor}
into the the custom template, I get "NULL", put it into any other native template and I get the expected output.

Undoubtedly I'm missing something obvious, but any help would be appreciated.

You will need to pass the variable to the template.

Ta- that fixed it, s'pose I should RTFM.
