[pmwiki-users] How to get a variable into a page

[Richard Crane]

  I want to insert a calculated value into the text of a group header.

I copied the examples from http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/PageVariables:

$FmtPV['$VarName'] = "'variable definition'";
$FmtPV['$PageCreationDate'] = 'strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $page["ctime"])';


into local/config.php.

then added a line

The variable is {$VarName}  and the page is called {$Name} date of page is {$PageCreationDate}

to a test page, but there is no substitution of $VarName or $PageCreationDate;
$Name is replaced with the page name.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Richard Crane
