Parsing {title} not working...

boldfire 15 Aug 2012 13:46 question, complete

I would like the customer to be able to control a call-to-action via a Text Input variable. For example, "Get in touch us about {title} today...".

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be parsing properly. It is within a channel entries loop but the code (below) renders {title} instead of the title itself.

<a href="#" class="cta">{exp:low_variables:parse var="var_services_cta"}</a>

If we type {title} outside of the LV, it does render/parse properly.

Does anybody have any idea how we can achieve this?

    Try and use the variable syntax instead of the tag syntax, and make sure early parsing is enabled (so {var_services_cta} instead of {exp:low_variables:parse etc).

    Unfortunately that didn't resolve it.

    I take it you're putting the variable inside a channel:entries tag... What's the complete code you're using for this bit, so including LV content and template code? You can use http://pastie.org for larger chunks of code.
