Want to parse an embedded title

RobPost 30 Aug 2012 10:14 question, complete

Hi,

I want to parse a title as an embedded title with Low Variables.

My current situation is:
{embed="_includes/_htmlhead" title="Sitemap {low_settings_title}"}

Changed it to:
{low_system_htmlhead title="Sitemap}

In the Low Variables template it refers to:
{embed:title} {structure:page:title} {low_settings_title}

But it'll break the template.
Early parsing is on for this Low Variable template.

   Hi Rob,
   
   Not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but it looks like you're replacing an embed with a LV.
   
   First of all, this will never work:
   
   

   {low_system_htmlhead title="Sitemap}

   
   
   You're missing a quote there and, more importantly, variable syntax can never have parameters. You'll need to use the tag syntax:
   
   

   {exp:low_variables:single var="low_system_htmlhead"}

   
   
   If you want to pass on variables on the fly there, use the preparse parameter:
   
   

   {exp:low_variables:single var="low_system_htmlhead" preparse:my_title="foo"}

   
   
   ...which will make the variable {my_title} display as "foo" (without quotes) in the variable data.
   
   If you're using the tag syntax, having early parsing enabled or disabled is not important.
