Hello using liquid markup i am trying to do the following.

{{ ‘holiday’ | album\_thumbs | assign\_to ‘asset\_list’ }}

{% for asset in asset\_list %}  
"link: " + {{ asset | asset\_path }}  
{% endfor %}

It should return a list with all assets for the loop, but the asset\_list  
variable never gets set. It just returns #### (number of records) on  
this line:

{{ ‘holiday’ | album\_thumbs | assign\_to ‘asset\_list’ }}

I have created the following function inside a (drop) filter

def album\_thumbs(tag)  
@context[‘domain’].find\_assets\_tagged\_with(tag)  
end

I am using Liquid 1.9.0 on rails 2.2.2
