I need a global... but it is a "Super" global. I need to access it everywhere... on Detail, in other globals, on Cat pages... everywhere. Essentially, it is the "Title" field, but modified. I used the modified Title field in a number of ways, and have 5-10 different globals now to accomplish this. There are 20-30 steps in modifying Title to make it correctly mofified... and that takes up a few lines of code in each global.

I thought if there were somewhere deep in Links I could put this all in perl, and then just call it where ever I needed it as <%mod_Title%> (or even $rec->{'mod_Title'} in other globals), I could make sure all versions are using the correct and current modifications...

Does that make sense?

I thought about in Site_HTML in the detail page, but I need it other places than JUST Detail...

Thanks!

You could try making a plugin which would hook in on the appropriate hooks, such as build_detailed, build_category etc

Alternativly, you could put them in a plugin such as TitleRename.pm and then just have a function in there which you would call with <%Plugins::TitleRename::FunctionName($Title)%>

Hope that helps

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Maybe this one is of some importance. I use a Plugin hook with init:
