Settings (.ini) available in templates?

Hello

Is there a way to get ini variables available in templates? I searched to code, but could not find anything.

Background: I'm trying to improve the forums and would like to set some variables in an existing or new ini file to be read in the templates (without adding php code). Examples: wether or not to display an icon/photo for each user, thread views or not etcetera.... Forums can be much improved by more advanced templates, but I would like to keep some parameters outside of the templates and group them in an ini file (that's what ini files are for).

i don't know if it will do what you want but try this:

{ezini('RegionalSettings','Locale')}
__GROUP__ __VAR__

Thanks,

I forgot the (undocumented) ezini function, although it was mentioned by Jan before.

I'll update the user docs to reflect this.

There's also a third parameter which states the ini file (site.ini is default).
{ezini('DataTypeSettings','RepositoryDirectories','content.ini')}
__GROUP__ __VAR__ __FILE__
