Add custom Dynamic Variables

Joinchat includes dynamic variables that change their value on each page to display the appropriate message. ({SITE}, {TITLE}, {URL}, {HREF}, {PRODUCT}, {SKU}, {REGULAR}, {PRICE}, {DISCOUNT}). You can also add your own variables:

function joinchat_custom_variables( $variables ) {
	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

		$variables['USERNAME']  = $current_user->display_name;
		$variables['USEREMAIL'] = $current_user->user_email;
	} else {
		$variables['USERNAME']  = 'Guest';
		$variables['USEREMAIL'] = 'example@' . wp_parse_url( site_url(), PHP_URL_HOST );
	}

	return $variables;
}
add_filter ( 'joinchat_variable_replacements', 'joinchat_custom_variables' );Code language: PHP (php)
