SID-02472: One Place to store and change variables to show in topics

Category:		Server OS:		Last update:	4 years ago

In my project there are people who are responsible for a topic and so in every Topic there is a short sentence like "Responsile: Name". If someone isn't responsible anymore or someone else takes his place, I don't want to change the name in every topic manually. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how I can use Twiki variables or something like that to only have one place/topic where I change the name and every affected topic is changed thereafter. I'd really appreciate if someone could tell me how to achieve that, it would save me a lot of time.

Discussion and Answer

Simply define a RESPONSIBLE setting in the WebPreferences of your web, such as:

• Set RESPONSIBLE = Responsible: Jimmy Neutron

Then in all topics where you want to show this type: %RESPONSIBLE% to get: Responsible: Jimmy Neutron
