    Hello!
    I've made a new addon/extra for Revo 2.1 (Hopefully it will work with 2.0 too, but I haven't tested it).
    Have you ever wanted that the Output Types of the Template Variables would be possible to create as easily as Snippets - straight from the Manager?
    Well, now it is possible!
    With this addon, the Snippets parses your Template Variables Output! You just specify the output type, enter the snippet name - and voila. You have the whole TV content in the $input variable of your snippet!

    Big thanks to splittingred and it's GoogleMapsTV addon - I took it's structure and transport build files to make my own transport package. [ed. note: eiventeleiron last edited this post 15 years ago.]

      Looking interesting!

      I think this should actually be a core feature instead of an addon. Can definitely see lots of use for this..

          Doesn't take too long normally.. few days max. If it's not being accepted within a week I'd suggest sending an email to [email protected].
