Overview

Contextual Variables are Platform Variables that are based on your current context within GeoHazardWatch.

Contextual Variables are Platform Variables that require user or page context Like:

• what page you are on: Contextual Variables
• Your User Name: Anonymous
• etc.

Contextual Variables are provided from Plugins

Available context variables

Both the ${...} (dollar-brace) and [{$...}] forms are supported; the ${...} form is the one to use inside plugin parameters, since it is expanded before the plugin runs.

contextual-variables vs current: contextual-variables always gives the slug form. The current parameter shortcut (see Plugin Parameter Shortcuts) is smarter for keyword-scoped plugins — it tries the page name and slug and uses whichever has content. Prefer current for self-scoping media/search; reach for contextual-variables only when you specifically need the slug form.
