[Building Sakai] Sakai session variables/passing parameters to the Web Content tool?

[Grogan, David]

Hello all,

As a user of Confluence I'm used to having the convenience of session variable such as "$!user.fullName" to be able to dynamically display info where needed. 

Does Sakai have anything like this? 

e.g. a use case I'd love to be able to implement is creating a site template with a Web Content tool with the URL:

http://somesite.edu/portal?courseid=$sakai.SiteID

Anything available along those lines?

David
