Samuel Sauder	Friday 06 May 2005 10:13:11 am In a template, I am trying to replace a string like "%current_user%" in a URL with the actual value. Do I need to create my own operator to do a simple string replace? Or create my own link class? In attempting to use the "contains" operator it doesn't indicate what position it is at. So I don't know the offset to "remove" it. Just making sure I'm not missing something obvious :)

Samuel Sauder	Monday 09 May 2005 8:10:36 am Thank you! As I was researching more I found this which is very powerful if I want to dive into building my own extension to call ANY php function/logic. http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/extensions/template_operator Idea: Why not create a pass-through function that will attempt to execute any php function with a variable number of parameters? Maybe harder than I think... Any comments?
