Low Variables not working with img sizer and MSM
Hi,
Been trying to get Low variables working with img sizer. Iv tried putting early parsing on but doesn't seem to make a difference.
Im using EE1.6.9 and MSM.
It should work but i'm thinking MSM is the problem?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

The MSM shouldn't matter. Some questions to get a better idea:
- What version of Low Variables are you using?
- I'm presuming you're using a Select File variable type, correct? Early parsing should be enabled.
- What's the template code you're using?
- Turn on template debugging (Admin -> System Preferences -> Output and Debugging Preferences) and load the template with that code. Check 2 things:
1: do you see the variable in the list of "Global Path.php Variables" and can you see the correct value?
2: look up the imgsizer tag and check the value of the src parameter.

Hi, thanks for quick reply.
{exp:imgsizer:size src="{exp:low_variables:parse var="latest-news-image"}" width="100"}
< img src="{sized}" width="{width}" height="{height}" />
{/exp:imgsizer:size}
( ^ space put in so will render here )
Yeah i see the variable in the global list but i dont see it in the imgsizer tag.
I'm sending you an email with debugging file.
Thanks again.

Using an {exp:...} tag as a parameter value doesn't work in EE. You should simply treat it as a global variable and use this syntax:
{exp:imgsizer src="{latest-news-image}" width="100"}

This is my first time with low variables and will be using on pretty much every site from now, beats a misc weblog/ channel any day. Great module.
Thanks for your help and have a great xmas and new year.
