[TYPO3] gpvar into constants or setup? ... so close

[Andrew Davis]

Thanks Tyler for advice, I have gotten this far and am now stuck...



temp.model = TEXT
temp.model.value = MODEL_VAL; plain; text: {GPvar:model}
temp.model.insertData = 1


plugin.tx_pilmailform_pi1.defaultValues < temp.model






I can output temp.model to page and I see it is replacing the gpvar as 
desired, but now it is not passing to the setup for the plugin....




the plugin setup should be seeing

plugin.tx_pilmailform_pi1.defaultValues{
   MODEL_VAL; plain; text: sometextthatispassed
}


Im not sure how this should be pased, i have tried many variations but 
nothing seems to be working....

Any suggestions are very welcome,
Thanks,
Andrew
