Using variables in templates?

Oct

2011

On PunBB, what code is it, so that i can add,

Code:: Welcome { USERNAME }

I know that

Code:: { USERNAME }

works, but i doesn't work outside, the posts... e.g. in the overall_Header, it didnt seem to be working.

any suggestions, on what it could be?

Code:: { USERNAME }

I know that, but in this forums if i remove the sapce it does this:

Code:: Using php in posts is called being a smart [Language]... Stop it

thats why to show the code i did it like this:

Code:: { USERNAME }

I think that forumotion removed those codes.

Hi,

They are not removed. They have never worked in templates.

For the space that you must add to write it here it's cause those variables have been censored on the support forum.

If you want them to work in templates you can use Etanas tut from the French forum.

All you need to do is take the script showed there http://tinyurl.com/var-fa and add it to your JS managment. Mark all pages.

Than you can use the variables she listed in the tutorial and they will work like the default ones forumotion offers.

It works if you use it in templates since it's the templates variable (the one that's already there).

Welcome.
