Pandora - Sample - Obtain System Variable

The following code will obtain the value from the System Variable called Registration Deadline

var rs= session_getuser(false,"","firstname");
USERID=rs.getfieldbyname(1,"userid");
rs=variables_replace(false,"",40,USERID,"@system.Registration Deadline@");
var msg=rs.getfieldbyname(1,"msg");
alert("The Registration Deadline is " + msg);

Notes

• This would ONLY be required on a page that does not go through the SmartSimple variable process such as a static page in a SmartFolder. Any content in custom fields would be processed directly, so @system.Registration Deadline@ will be replaced directly without the need to use Pandora.
• The first 2 lines obtain your user ID, in case it is relevant to the variables_replace search (ie: if the variable is a user variable)
• The variables_replace function returns the result in recordset in a field named msg
