Variable from Page to Template or something

Hi people.

I’ve been trying for a couple of days to work out a way to pass some form of variable from a PAGE to a TEMPLATE.

I’m using EasingSliderPro and have it embedded in the header via my page template.

I want to add a line or 2 per page where I can store a variable that will be the ID for which specific slider is loaded on that page.

I realise that you can’t normally do PHP on a WordPress PAGE so would appreciate some help in achieving this.

Any thoughts from anyone.

Thanks,
Ross.

Can you make a function and call that instead? Which theme are you using?

Where did you download this plugin from?

Well I’m not using a plugin. Though I have tried using a PHP plugin.

I’m no web designer, I’m dabbling a bit and getting to grips with it.

Andrew, how would you suggest implementing a function in this manner?

Thanks

If EasingSliderPro is a theme, where did you download that from?

Ahh sorry, EasingSliderPro is a plugin listed on WordPress.

The theme is Lysa.

The site I’m working on is http://Ross.McIntosh.DJ

Just the ‘Lite’ version on the plugins section. Download of Pro only available via developers site. http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/easing-slider/

So I have this in the Theme template where I expect it to appear.
```
<center><?php if ( function_exists('easingsliderpro') ) { easingsliderpro( $slider_id_var ); } ?></center>
```
I put this in theme functions and when I change the ID number “variable” it works and changes the slider. Effectively I want to be able to do this form each page.
```
$slider_id_var = '1';
```

I appreciate that.

I suppose this issue is part plugin. Though more a question about passing variables from pages back to a theme template.
The plugin works fine. I’m just trying to make something else happen around it.

Generally you pass data around by calling functions from the functions.php file.

I’m reading up on that just now.
