[pmwiki-users] Navboxes on pmwiki

[Peter Bowers]

I think PTV (PageTextVariables) will do what you want.

Put this in Templates/Navbox:

===(snip)===
Hi, my name is {$:MyName} and I live at {$:Address} but you can call me
{$:Title}.
===(snip)===

Then in page Mygroup.Mypage where you want to see that displayed you put
this:

===(snip)===
(:MyName:John Smith:)
(:Title:Sam:)
(:Address:132 Main St:)
(:include Templates/Navbox:)
===(snip)===

Now when you view Mygroup.Mypage you will see

===(snip)===
Hi, my name is John Smith and I live at 132 Main St but you can call me Sam.
===(snip)===

Is that what you were wanting?  Or were you wanting the variable to be set
in the Nav page?
