Can u advise me on {1} in a phrase?

[b6gm6n]

Hi..

I've made a simple plugin which calcs the amount of pictures in my gallery, using : $totalphotos : i can use this in a template or a php file and the total number shows, but in a phrase i don't understand how to implement it

I'd like to use "I have {1} photos" in a phrase, but how do i set this up? i've added a custom phrase "<phrase 1="$totolphotos">$vbphrase[phottot]</phrase>" but i cannot call is or use it...i dunno, i keep seeing "i have fag.php photos" or whatever...please advise, cheers

make a phrase called phottot and add the I have {1} photos to it. then use this to call it in the template:

phrase 1="$totolphotos">$vbphrase[phottot]</phrase>

Make sure you are doing the query to get that info somewhere.

Set your custom phrase:

varname: i_have_x_photos
text: I have {1} photos

Use this in your template:

<phrase 1="$totalphotos">$vbphrase[i_have_x_photos]</phrase>

LOL, Boofo was faster...

hi thanx guys, but thats the problem, im not using it in a template, just a phrase...so "<phrase 1="$totalphotos">$vbphrase[i_have_x_photos]</phrase>" would work in a phrase? or would i have to place that into say my navbar template, im using this in conjunction with the welcome headers mod and it uses phrases which i hoped "I have {1} photos" will work i bet it does you clever people, thanx guys, i'll try this later
