Variables in templates

Hi there,

I'm trying to optimize some processes and for that I need to know if it's possible to have variables inside of templates.

Now, I know about conditionals and stuff, but what I want to achieve is typing less code while manually updating some custom slider-templates or having these templates update automatically.

A SIMPLE EXAMPLE:

Code:

<ul id="slider">

  <li>

  <a class="featured-item_1" href="showthread.php?t=4468" title="Title">

  <span class="slide-caption">Title</span></a>

  </li>    

</ul>

Instead of manually having to insert TITLE twice, I'd love to have it show up in both positions automatically - after having entered it once.

The optimal thing would be extracting the thread-ID and title of each thread marked as featured item, so that it shows up automatically.

Do I make sense? :D
Thanks!

You can use variables, you just put a php variable directly in the template. You can use any variable that's available when the template is eval()'d. So you could do something like:

Code:

<ul id="slider">

  <li>

  <a class="featured-item_$item" href="showthread.php?t=$tid" title="$title">

  <span class="slide-caption">$title</span></a>

  </li>    

</ul>

Then of course you'd need to set those variavle in php code somewhere, like a plugin or a custom script.
