    Placing variables on site

    Hey.
    Is there anyway that I can create text "variables" for templates. Meaning that every time a tag like <siteURL> or something like it appears it will replace it with the actual site URL etc.
    Thanks.

      This is a most common tecnique for Smarty and other similars. Of course, it is part of a CMS. The content is retrieved usually from the database.

      Even the BlueVoda built in form processor uses the same tecnique. In fact (look at the Form Wizard tutorial) the error page has simply the text ##error## (could be anything else, like {error} ) is then replaced by the actual error message as it is created by the processor (if errors are found).

        So I still don't understand how you can do this. Maybe if it's something a lot of people can use you would be able to make a tutorial about it ?

        Don't mean to be out of line....just thinking out loud.

          This is not something that has to do with BlueVoda or Vodahost hosting. From this point of view, no tutorial can be made.

          Please note that using templates this way (not in the simple way that the form processor does), you need to have extensive knowledge of php and MySQL. Looking at the issue from this point, whoever has that knowledge also (usually) knows how to create such a template and use it.
