Oncle Tom Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 In the Topic View Format? option we can add content which will be displayed in a topic. But at least, it can't use templates variables such as {ipb.script_url} etc. In the topic view, variables are raw, they are displayed as is, not replaced by their value. It would be very handy to use templates variables (in order to make a link to a special part of they profile, for example to notice their collection of games etc).

Oncle Tom Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Yep i mean, if you write this in the field Topic View Format :{title} : {ipb.script_url}showprofile={$author['id']}#{key} It will be displayed in a post as[i]value of {title}[/i] : {ipb.script_url}showprofile={$author['id']}#[i]value of {key}[/i] not as[i]value of {title}[/i] : [i]value of {ipb.script_url}[/i]showprofile=[i]value of {$author['id']}[/i]#[i]value of {key}[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oncle Tom Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I don't understand your answer. Maybe you mean it is stupid to link twice the profile page ? It's not useless : if you don't have the place to display informations in the topic view column, how somebody can guess where is this precise information ? However, with an anchor you aims directly the area of the page you want to show. Not all users and guests are as familiar with bulletin boards so i don't see why another link should be useless ... and it's only and example, it could have been something else i would have linked. PS : and if you have read correctly the {template.var} is not replace at all ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germany Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Wait. I think I get it. You want the variables in the custom fields to be parsed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oncle Tom Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yep, exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germany Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Sorry, you confused me a little. This is a great idea in that case. Except, there was a topic like this, and it was thought to be a security issue of downloading malicious skins. So, with this added, there will be an extra element of caution needed in using downloaded skins. Maybe there should be an option to turn this on. I, personally, like it and would download trusted skins only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Agree 100%. Also a List of Possible/Commonly Used/Usefull Variables would be Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hancoque Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 <#IMG_DIR#> works by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oncle Tom Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 <#IMG_DIR#> works by the way.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because it is a macro. It seems that macros are evaluated at the very end of the page generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
