{%blahblah%}

Can some please help explain more about the above? I downloaded a script. I know it's refering to a template. I can't find {%blahblah%} in any html files. How do I set values to {%blahblah%}?

Is it something like this?
{%blahblah%}="this is blahblah";
or
$blahblah="this is blahblah";

Does it refer only to html files? What about .tpl files? If I were to make a {%blahblah%} how do I setup values to it and what extension do I save it as?

Thanks alot.

Depends upon the software... what did you download?

Generally, most of the time a variable in PHP is set and then a [man]str_replace/man is called which replaces all the template vars ({%blahblahblah%}) with the value of the variable.

If you give us what you're using, or some examples, we could help you further

{%title%} usually prints out title.
{%pollresults%} usually will print out some kind of poll results.
<a href="{%HOME%}"> will link out www.url.com

Here's a clip of script showing featured images and brief detail:
<table cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td>
{%FEATURED_IMAGE%}
</td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;font-size:9pt;"class="color">
{%FEATURED_USER%}
<br />
{%user_gender%}
<br />
Age: {%user_birthday%}
<br />
<!-- HIDE_STATE_START --!>
{%user_location_city%}, {%user_location_state%} <br />
<!-- HIDE_STATE_END --!>
{%user_location%}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

So any ideas to find out what {%%} is?

There's no way to find out what the value is?

I'm playing around with phpfox's community portal.

Pay for portal system.... okay...

I can't help you cuz I don't have $300 bucks to just throw away...

But my guess is if you look around for it, you'll find a template parser class or set of functions that will do replacements. The theory is this:

str_replace('{%'./* Some variable name here */.'%}', /* Some replacement variable here */, /* The string to search in */);

Uhmm.. so what's the difference between <%%> and {%%}?

Thanks for the help.

[bpat1434]

Different template variable maybe... not sure.... You'd have to ask the developer(s).

Although, <% is usually an ASP tag.....
