Referencing Keys in Templates?

[oxym0r0n]

Is there a way to reference a super key from one of my plugins in templates? I want to show the value of the key on my user's profiles.

Yes, but it's a bit complicated.

The way Peter has the monetary plugin set up is to have the admin insert a placeholder element into their layout templates, then have the plugin insert code into that placeholder when the page is loaded.

There's not much of a way to reference it by placing Javascript inside the template without breaking the page somehow due to how the AJAX loads pages in threads.

Hmmm... okay. I'd love to see how Peter does this. It would be really helpful for the RPG mod that I'm working on.

It's something along the lines of having this HTML in your template.

<span class="placeholder-thing"></span>

Then telling some Javascript/jQuery to populate it with the appropriate data.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.placeholder-thing').html('This will show inside the span when the page loads.');
});
</script>

There's a bit more to it than that, but it's still a good starting point to work with nonetheless.

I started to do something similar to that. I've been getting the key and putting it in a variable, then printing the variable to a div.
