Hi!
I searched in this forum but found no answer to my simple problem
From sourcerer and within an article, I would like to access variables and functions defined in the index.php of the joomla template.
For example, in the template JA_purity, the file index.php includes ja_vars.php and I need to use some variables defined in it.

Is it possible ?
thxs a lot for your help.

Unfortunately no.
This is because Joomla generates the content (component) before it passes it on to the template. So the code in your article is executed before the template file is called on.

What is it exactly you want to do? Because ReReplacer could help out... maybe...

Well, in fact, in all my articles I need to use some functions I created in one of my own PHP files. Instead of importing this file in all my articles, I thought I could put the "import" into the index.php of the template. In this way, the functions could have been available everywhere in my code.

No better solution to my problem than importing my libraries at each time I need a function?

Not really.

Or you have to add the import to the core files (index.php).

Ok. I will import from sourcerer, then.
Thanks for the information
