vb variable in phrase?

[doa24uk]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use a variable ... for the thread title in a phrase ...

Is this possible??

$threadinfo[title] - that's the var i'm trying to insert but it isn't outputting the thread title, it's outputting itself ....

Please provide the code you are using.

Hi it's just the following in a phrase...


$threadinfo[title] from MySite.com

I've also tried -

Test - $vbphrase[$threadinfo[title]]

and

Test - {$threadindo['title']}

This is done quite a bit in vb. If you look at how they do it, it's done something like this:
phrase = my_phrase:
The title is {1}

Code in the template:
<phrase 1=" $threadinfo[title]">$vbphrase[my_phrase]</phrase>

Hi Lynne,

I think we're getting closer but still nothing unfortunately!

I've created a new phrase and put this as the text

<phrase 99xsa=" $threadinfo[title]">$vbphrase[doa_thread_title]</phrase>

Varname - doa_thread_title

Then in the phrase where I wish to call the thread title

Test - {99xsa}


And that simply out puts

Test - {99xsa}

:( :(

So close yet so far!

Reread my post. The phrase itself will have the {1} in it, not any variable. Then the other code is what you put in the template to call the phrase. Like I said, if you look at the templates, you will see this method used throughout.
