Lack of interest Add some global variables to the template

[ragtek]

It would be great if xenforo would register automatic some important variables in all templates.

At least it would be useful to have the node_id and if you're viewing a thread the thread data.

I agree. Global variables can be useful in some situations.

In the absence of global variables, here is one trick you use to pass values:

It seems that at least $forum was implemented in thread & forum controller

    /**
     * Adds 'forum' to the list of $containerParams if it exists in $params
     */
    protected function _postDispatch($controllerResponse, $controllerName, $action)
    {
        if (isset($controllerResponse->params['forum']))
        {
            $controllerResponse->containerParams['forum'] = $controllerResponse->params['forum'];
        }
    }
