Personal variables

[cheveyo]

Is it possible to create a new variable in the same language used in the Layout Templates? For, say, a new mini profile line where $[x] = $[user.posts]*2

EDIT: shoot me if this is super easy/impossible/already addressed somewhere

Probably something easy yes.


var postcount = parseInt($[user.posts]*2);

That wouldn't work in the layout templates themselves. You'd need to have that in a bit of Javascript with <script> tags and then do something to get that new value put back in where you wanted it (maybe a specific class on some placeholder <span> tags etc). But at that point you're just back to V4's "use Javascript to rename things" way of working.

I don't think there is a way to make new variables for the layout templates.

Possibly of interest: some related questions I've asked about the template variables.

Well, if javascript is the only way to do it, looks like I'll have to learn it. xD

Thanks muchly, you two ^_^
