txp:variable in plugin

Hi there,

probably I’m very stupidly overlooking something here. But how can I access the global $variables in a plugin, say admin side?

The variables a decleared in a form (with <txp:variable name="this_name" value="this_value" />). I tried to parse that form (parse_form()) in the plugin but it seems that they are somewhere else populated into the global namespace not just by parsing. The globals $variables remains null.

Can someone enlighten me.

Thanks in advance.

Re: txp:variable in plugin

Never mind. Figured it out. For future reference:

global $variable;

require_once(txpath . '/lib/txplib_publish.php');
require_once(txpath . '/publish/taghandlers.php');
require_once(txpath . '/lib/txplib_html.php');

$form = safe_field('Form', 'txp_form', "name = 'form_name_with_txp_variables'");
parse($form);

// now we have access to the $variables
dmp($variable);
