Shuffle Sense Blocks... before or after ???

[Brainwrek]

I'm thinking about purchasing CS, but I need to know when the sense blocks are shuffled... before or after the variables are populated?

For example... I want the *same* NAME to appear in all sense blocks.

So let's say I have the following sense blocks:

[Name] is a [cool] guy.
[Name^prev] [likes] [dogs].
[Name^prev] hates [cats].

But... how does this work if I shuffle the sense blocks?  If the shuffle occurs after the variables are populated, then (I think) it should work fine.  But if the shuffle occurs before the variables are filled in, then the [Name^prev] variable won't refer to anything, and it will break.  Right?

ALSO...

Is it possible to refer to a variable that is originally set in the RSS title sense blocks?  And then have that variable carried into the body of the article?

For example the RSS title would be:

[Name] is a [cool] guy.

And then the article sense blocks would be:

[Name^prev] [likes] [dogs].
[Name^prev] hates [cats].
[Name^prev] is a  [zodiac sign].

I hope it can work this way, because if it will, then CS is EXACTLY what I'm looking for!

You already purchased, so it does that

I know i already gave you an answer on email, but i will post that all here, maybe other people will be inetretsed in. Feel free to post any news about how that works for you.

Shuffle get occur before variables get replaced, so having the kind of structure you said it can get project broken. However, there are some tricks. Something you can do about this would be to use complete blocks, that use both variable initialisation and the other uses. Like:

[Name] is a [cool] guy. [Name^prev] [likes] [dogs]. [Name^prev] hates [cats].
[Name] is a [bad] guy. [Name^prev] [hates] [basket]. [Name^prev] loves [soccer].

Also, a variable can be carried over from rss title blocks. So if all titles blocks has some variable that is later used with ^last or ^prev, then you can do shuffle because variable was initialised in title.

Thank you Omar.  By setting the variable in the title, I can do *exactly* what I want to do.  CS is an incredible script.  I'm not sure people realize how powerful this thing really is.  Wow!

I'm a happy customer.

Can't wait to see the new version.
