CMS content variables / get data base content

hey, 

i want to use the cms functionality and am mostly satisfied. I prefer to
manage the content with the backend CMS future without touching the code to
make live easier for my employees (html editor).

So I am wondering now if there is the possiblity to use variables within the
CMS / content screens of the admin backend. I mean like using a groovy file
and within the html editor I add variables like ${...}

Or do I have to use only FTL in this case? i.ex. I often have to show the
company adress, and want my employess not to type it each time. I want them
to use just the variable for it.

Hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance

robert

thanks for your fast reply :)

I see, so I can use FTL Syntac within:

<textData></textData>

Can I use also the Syntax within the HTML / WYSIWYG Editor in backend as
well?

because the things between the above named tag overwrite my database content
in case that I reload the XML file, so I dont want to write anything between
these tags.

please let me know.

Robert,
Yes, you can do this and you will be using FTL. The ftl template will be stored in ElectronicText table, Set dataTemplateTypeId=FTL for your dataResource. For reference look at data in "specialpurpose/ofbizwebsite/data/OfbizData.xml" file.

Anil Patel
