How can I access a new variable within a template?
 

I've used this tutorial to make a simple page. The goal is to create a movie viewer. I need to have access to a new variable inside of a template file so I can use conditionals on my new variable to make something happen.

For example here is my ideal template:

That's correct, you may want to add a value to it, such as
What is the problem? You will need to define the variable in your PHP file first.

Thanks

I'm not really sure why my variable wouldn't work before. All kosher now, thanks!

I have the same Problem:

I want to use a variable
$tight_editor
in my
editor_toolbar_on template

which i declared in my profile.php on the first hook which is called profile_start

unfortunately in my editor i can't echo the variable

any ideas

Should the variable be defined global?

Hello,
I battled with a similar issue for quite some time and noticed the following:
Lets say I want to display a debug variable in the header template like:
That var must be set BEFORE global_setup_complete. For example, if I make the var
in the global_setup_complete hook, the header template will never display anything. However, if I move the above php to global_start, it works as intended.

This is great if you want your code to be in global_start, but what if you need it later? Does anyone know a simple way to change the already processed templates?
