Question

Is it possible to reference a custom variable (defined in WebPreferences or TWikiPreferences) in a .tmpl file? Doing this causes my browser to crash.

More details:

I have defined a variable

%CUSTOMTOC%

. This variable defines two INCLUDEs: the first referring to a USERNAMELinks page (wherin a user can define a set of links that she wants to show up on every page); the second referring to a SEARCH (display the 10 most recently changed twiki pages on each page).

CUSTOMTOC renders just fine when I include it in the body of a page, but not when I include it in one of the templates.

This is on a FreeBSD system displaying in MSIE 5.5.

( I also asked this question in CustomVariablesInTemplates before i found the support questions... sorry for the redundancy)

• TWiki version:
• Web server: Apache
• Server OS: FreeBSD
• Web browser: MSIE 5.5
• Client OS: Win2000
