Description

You can create your own skinvars, and call them using <%plugin(PlugName,parameters)%> or <%PlugName(parameters)%> (when this does not conflict with an existing skinvar). Parameters are comma-separated.

To handle skinvars, you'll need to implement the doSkinVar method. Some samples of signatures are given below:

function doSkinVar($skinType)
function doSkinVar($skinType, $param1, $param2)
function doSkinVar($skinType, $skinVar, $param1, $param2)
function doSkinVar($skinType, $skinVar, $param1 = 'default value')

• The $skinType parameter will be one of 'index', 'item', 'archive', 'archivelist', 'member', 'error', 'search', 'imagepopup' or 'template'
• The $skinVar is actually the first parameter that's being interpreted as a type of skinvar (e.g. <%plugin(PlugName,VarType)%>)
• You can use doSkinVar() (no parameters) and retrieve the parameters using the PHP function func_get_args(). Could be handy if you have different types of skinvars with different numbers of arguments

Notes

• (v2.0b) You can find the name of the skin that's currently being parsed in the global variable $currentSkinName
