Substitution Variables can be placed within pages in the same manner as regular text. When the content retriever finds a substitution variable while building the output for a page, the substitution variable is replaced by the value it represents. The value can be as simple as the current date or as complicated as the definition to place the contents of the events calendar within a page.
Substitution variables are often used where you might use a Java-Script or code snippet within other content management and blogging systems. Check out a suggested procedure to add the current date to a page of one of the most popular cms/blogging systems:
<?php echo date('l jS F Y'); ?>The date format can be easily formatted. More info on the date() php function here...
Now let's try {TIME_STAMP} which returns 2024/04/25 13:04:57 {MM/DD/YYYY} returns 04/25/2024
Mix in a little text: "Hello, the current day, date and time is {DDDD}, {MMMM} {d}, {YYYY} {TIME_OF_DAY}"
and the result is: "Hello, the current day, date and time is Thursday, April 25, 2024 01:04 PM"
