I'm using Low Variables (2.3.3) with a Wygwam (2.7) variable type.
Is it possible to get the has_excerpt functionality working in this setup?
I've tried the following code but it ignores it and just outputs the tag:
{lv_my_variable:has_excerpt}
Wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or whether it's just not supported? Thanks.
The variable syntax, {lv_my_variable}, doesn't support any additions or variations like that. It's like a Snippet or Global Variable: just as is. For extra processing, you'd need to use the tag syntax: {exp:low_variables:single var="lv_my_variable"}.
However, getting to additional options like the :has_excerpt function is up to the fieldtype author to implement. Something like {exp:low_variables:single var="lv_my_variable" method="has_excerpt"} would be nice in this case. But, again, that's up to Pixel & Tonic to add support for.
