Hi SilverStripers,

prolly it a stupid question, but is it possible to make template vars like $URLSegment usable from the backend?

I have a table with 3 columns having a specific image in the headline and footline of the table.

In the template i would use <img src="/hemes/myTheme/img/headline_{$Parent.URLSegment}-A.jpg" /> to load the specifi image. Unluckily the template var is not replaced when used inside Content (using tinyMCE).

Any Ideas how to solve that prob?

Kind regards
Metin

In 2.3 theres no easy way to handle that sort of thing. Have alook at this tutorial for a way you can do it http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=recipes:customising-content-in-your-templates. Its not really that nice but should work.
