hi there,

Is there a way to use custom global variables within the forum templates?
or path variables?

in my index templates, I’ve created some useful variables, that I’d like to use within the forum.

$assign_to_config['global_vars'] = array(
     'cgv_language_code' => 'de',
     'cgv_root' => '/',
     'cgv_locale' => 'de_DE',
     'cgv_language' => 'german',
     'language' => 'deutsch'
 ); // This array must be associative

it would be handy to be able to use them in the forum templates.
also the path variables {path="/"}

cheers

Hi Stefan,

Not typically. The only way to use global variables in your forums is to run them through the regular templates, as noted here. If you’re running EE 2.5.3, however, I’d recommend holding off on that since there’s a bug that currently breaks part of that feature.
