Did you make a plugin to declare that variable, and make it available to the various templates that you want it available to?

its not a custom variable, its option within my admincp with a mod

this is my setting within the .xml file for the product
<setting varname="fbbadge_active_link" displayorder="20">
<datatype>free</datatype>
</setting>

If you are certain that this variable should be available to all templates, I'd suggest raising a JIRA bug report for it.

The variable $vboption has to be available at the point where you call the specific template in which you want to use the var.

which i already did


{vb:raw vboptions.fbbadge_active_link} is what i used for the admincp option
the data from http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6...77588d5c3e.png
what is shown in that input box is from

<setting varname="fbbadge_active_link" displayorder="20">
<datatype>free</datatype>
</setting>

and i see that {vb:raw vboptions.bburl} is also called the same way in pages

<setting varname="bburl" displayorder="20">
<datatype>free</datatype>
</setting>

is that variable from xml

I was talking about the variable vboptions being global at the time when you ask for it in the template

ok, but all other options work

<setting varname="fbbadge_active" displayorder="10">
<datatype>free</datatype>
<optioncode>yesno</optioncode>
<defaultvalue>1</defaultvalue>


<vb:if condition="$vboptions['fbbadge_active']">

the above works, i am only stuck on why

{vb:raw vboptions.fbbadge_active_link} does not work if its already an option shown in admincp
from

<setting varname="fbbadge_active_link" displayorder="20">
<datatype>free</datatype>
</setting>

if you could help it would be great

Probably because it hasn't actually been declared for whatever template you are trying to show it in.

how do i declare it ?, VB5 is different than i am used to, if i used this in VB4 i didn't need to do anything, it found the data from admincp with no issues

[Hartmut]

In general, you also have to declare the variables in vB4 aswell. In your case, vboptions was declared already when using this in vB4

as i said Hartmut, if i am doing it correctly in the template, why does it not show my data from http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6...77588d5c3e.png
so i cant see what i am doing wrong in the template i declared the correct variable
{vb:raw vboptions.fbbadge_active_link} from

<setting varname="fbbadge_active_link" displayorder="20">
<datatype>free</datatype>
</setting>

which is shown in the screenshot, i hope you understand ?

EDIT

i am not trying to load a phrase with is for [ global ]

i am trying to import data entered into [Admincp Options] > fbbadge_active_link
this is the only one not working i can use all other options that desclare
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['fbbadge_active']">
it works fine 100%

but when i call this
<a href="{vb:raw vboptions.fbbadge_active_link}" target="_blank">
which is the correct section for manual data entry from admicp options the data does not appear and just shows the homepage url

Your option is a public setting? Please check your setting options, it's one of the latest option available.
