Global Variables in Templates

[eluser]Lucas3677[/eluser]
I'm trying to implement simple global variables within my view files, so that when someone creates a template they can just type {site_owner} or {admin_email} and have it replaced by the correct value at run-time.

My first instinct tells me that I should create a hook at display_override and just replace the strings there. Is there a better way to do this?

have you looked at the parser class?
