What are Page Variables?

Page variables are used to define what page a user is on. Variables are used in Pligg templates to determine whether or not you should display content by using {if} tags, this method is similar to many programming languages such as PHP.

Pagename variables are defined in .php files to determine what page you are currently viewing. If you open up index.php, for example, you will find the code below which assigns the pagename variable "published" to the Pligg homepage.

PHP Code:

// pagename    
define('pagename', 'published'); 
$main_smarty->assign('pagename', pagename); 


Below are example codes that you can use with these variables, in these examples "story" is the page name that can be replaced with one of the variables listed lower on this page.

{if $pagename eq "story"}
Content to show if it IS a story page
{/if}

{if $pagename neq "story"}
 Content to show if it's NOT a story page
 {/if}
