Passing in vars for use in conditionals in Low Variables

Question

Is there a simple way to create a custom conditional a bit like this:

In the template:

{exp:low_variables:single var="footer" foo="bar"}

In the variable:

   {if foo == "bar"}
      Show something here
   {/if}

I've played around with preload_replace a bit but no joy so far

Answer 1

You can use the preparse:my_var parameter, available only in the Textarea variable type. Example:

{exp:low_variables:single var="my_var" preparse:foo="bar"}
