PHP tag in templates

[polanskiman]

Thanks Omar. I really appreciated the help. I think however this is a bit too time consuming to create multiple variables for just a few echos and a few functions that are only used in one or two templates. I understand if the purpose is to write a lot of repetitive code. These variables makes it much faster but in my case it just adds additional maintenance to the code and to be honest I don't have all that much knowledge in coding.

Is this the only way? If so then I guess I'll have to drop those customisations for good.
