hi there,

how do you add common tags to user defined tags?

this is what i have:

echo'For information regarding Licensing and/or Production rights for
';
echo'{title} please use the form below, or use our contact page.';

and where the {title} is, i'd obviously want to page title to appear. what do i need to do to make this work, with a minimum of code (i'm more of a designer)?

thanks in advance

I guess like this

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$my_title = $gCms->variables['title'];

thanks, but this doesn't work:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$my_title = $gCms->variables['title'];

echo'<p>For information regarding Licensing and/or Production rights for <br />';
echo'{title} please use the form below, or use our <a href="contact.html">contact</a> page.</p>';
again, i'm not really a programmer

??

Actually, use Global Content Block to implement this. Just create a new GCB with text

For information regarding Licensing and/or Production rights for

{title} please use the form below, or use our contact page.

If you do want to implement it as a UDT you'll need:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$my_title = $gCms->variables['title'];

echo'<p>For information regarding Licensing and/or Production rights for <br />';
echo $my_title . ' please use the form below, or use our <a href="contact.html">contact</a> page.</p>';
