Additional Variables in Themes (Smarty Templates)
I am working on the new theme I mentioned earlier, and am having some difficulties.
Using the {{debug}} feature of smarty, I figured out that some of the variables I need are simply not available, at least not in the navbar_default.tpl.
For example, I can get the avatar of the person logged in and their user@example.com, but not their actual human readable name.
Another example: the variables {{$banner}} and {{$sel.name}} work and you can even get the {{$channel_thumb}}, but you can't get the name of the channel you are currently viewing.
Is there a way to get additional variables in smarty without modifying the core?
