Hey Doug,
Chuck is right the way to model the
${datacenter::new_york::VARIABLE_NAME} variable is to do the following:
class datacenter { }
class datacenter::new_york inherits datacenter {
$VARIABLE_NAME = foo
}
Then you can refer to that foo valuable with the fully qualified var
name ${datacenter::new_york::VARIABLE_NAME)
If you need to find that value in a template you will have to find it
with the scope.lookupvar() erb function. i.e. <%=
scope.lookpvar("datacenter::new_york::VARIABLE_NAME") %>
