Implementing {var:var_option} in a Low Variables fieldtype bridge?

Derek 2 Jun 2011 16:52 question, complete

I'm guessing not, since LV are essentially global variables, but is there a way for me to implement options for my variable type (using the fieldtype bridge) using the {var:var_option} syntax, much like I can with replace_foo() and replace_bar() functions in a standard EE fieldtype?

   Hey Derek,
   
   That would probably mean using the {exp:low_variables:parse var="my_var"} syntax. And that means you can also use any additional tag parameters to do pretty much anything you want, for example:
   
   

   {exp:low_variables:parse var="my_var" foo="bar"}

   Thanks Low, fair enough.
