When adding a custom variable, you can see multiple fields: one for the default value, and one per language you’ve enabled in Refined.
Nest default variables within a custom text variable
It’s possible to nest one or more default variables within a custom text variable, for example:
$welcome$ = Welcome to $sitename, $userfirstname!
However, it is not possible to nest custom variables within one another. This means that the following would not work:
$first$ = coffee
$second$ = I like $first$
Note that in the Site Builder you can only use custom text variables that don’t nest any variables at all, or that nest one or more of the following variables:
Variable | Description | Introduced in version |
|---|---|---|
$username | The logged-in user’s username. |
|
$userfullname | The logged-in user’s full name. |
|
$userfirstname | The logged-in user’s first name. | 2.0 |

In this example, we add a text to the top of the Search Highlight to inspire visitors to search for help. The entered text will be a combination of text and a text variable.

Scripted text variables
Custom text variables can execute small scripts, which lets you use them to display dynamic values or to add a condition to them. For example, you can create a $greeting$ text variable that says Good morning or Good afternoon depending on the time of day.
