Lisa Pini	Thursday 24 July 2008 8:28:40 am Hello, I'd like to define a variable that can be read in every template. Is it possible? Where I must define it? Now I'm trying to read a value in pagelayout.tpl, folder.tpl and menu.tpl If I define my variable as global in pagelayout, menu read it correctly, but folder not. I have read a topic that explains how to do it with persistent variables. (this is the post: http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/scope_namespace_variable_pagelayout_templates_how_to ) I defined my variable as persistent in folder.tpl and it can be accessed correctly within pagelayout.tpl, but now I have problems with it in menu.tpl and folder.tpl. How can I solve it? I suppose that I can define the variable as persistent in folder (to read in pagelayout), and redefine it as global in pagelayout (to read in menu), but this solution is contorted... Thanks

Hello,
I'd like to define a variable that can be read in every template.
Is it possible? Where I must define it?

Now I'm trying to read a value in pagelayout.tpl, folder.tpl and menu.tpl

If I define my variable as global in pagelayout, menu read it correctly, but folder not.
I have read a topic that explains how to do it with persistent variables.
