Hi Stephen,

It probably means what you are trying to do should be part of the View - if you can, then solve it using conditions and output of {settings.someVariable} (which is already available in your template). If you can't solve it this way a ViewHelper is a good option - perhaps one that will accept the specific settings you have in {settings.*} to configure how it processes an instance of a Model object, for example.

Another option is in your Controller but that's usually not the place to manipulate your Model before displaying it. Which is what I assume you want to do, in which case template variables and ViewHelpers are the better choice :)
