Access user variables for data globally

1

Hey everybody, I’m working with Forestry and Hugo and using Data files to provide theme options. I’m wondering if it’s possible to define variables in the baseof.html template that I can pass down to all partials.

i.e. {{$themeTextColor := .Site.Data.theme.text_color}}

I know I’ve seen the ability to pass variables with “dict” but then that requires messing with the “dot”. I know there’s also “Scratch” but that looks pretty verbose too.

I’ve think you’ve covered the possibilities.

@jmooring thanks yeah that’s what I was starting to think, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious.
