Display Text only instead of field

Hi,

Is there any way I can display some text only for each block or field value, instead of pulling the value from the database.

I know one can display php variables, but I do not have access to the php to create the variables as the client creates the templates.

for example this would be ideal.....

[onshow.'This is the text I want to display']

Hi,

They are several ways or getting data to merge with TBS.
They are also many Data Reader Plugins ( see http://www.tinybutstrong.com/plugins.php#plugin_db )

But is you example why can't you simply write
   "This is the text I want to display"
instead of
   [onshow.'This is the text I want to display']
?

thanks for quick reply, sometimes one is blinded by the obvious, I will give it a bash in my template.

If using [block], and using your method, will this then copy my text and duplicate for each row (eg: using opentbs)?

eg:

<tr><td>[L.learner_id;block=tbs:row]</td><td>This is my text</td><td>[L.learner_first_name]</td></tr>

will it give me?

1   This is my text     Surname1
2   This is my text     Surname2
3   This is my text     Surname3
4   This is my text     Surname4

Yes of course.
