Varibles
 

Hi there,

If a variable is created in a php file, how can I tell a template where to find what the variable is meant to do?

IE.

$mad

$mad is assigned in mad.php, how, in a template such as navbar_link, would I get this information from mad.php?

Thanks

Make a plugin and use hooks to achieve this.

What hook location would I select? Would I put the contents of mad.php into the plugin?

If the template is fetched on the same page as that in which $mad is defined then you can type $mad directly into your template.

Thats the thing, its not. navbar_link is used on every vb page.

You need to create & assign data to the variable before the template is parsed.

I know but how do I do this..?

Create a Plugin on the page on which the template is parsed. For something displayed on all pages, global_start would be best.
