Hey Donny, do you know what's not working here with the if and unless statements?

• The Organizing/Organized and Playing/Played strings do not display above the type/gamewhen string
• The number needed does not display, just the 'needed' string (i.e. shows 'needed' instead of '8 needed')
• The 'Added by Creator Name' still displays despite the unless statement

Each template has access to (1) its data context, (2) its helpers, and (3) "global" helpers.

The soloGameSummary template currently (as opposed to that in your gist) nests a whoIsPlaying template that in turn has local helpers organizing, playing, and numNeeded, which are defined in devel.js via a call to Template.whoIsPlaying.helpers.

The soloGameSummary template does not itself define those helpers, so while it has access to a data context (which is a Game that has properties like startsAt and creator.name) and to "global" helpers (defined using Handlebars.registerHelper -- I have several defined in handlebarsHelperMap in devel.js such as past and participle), it does not have access to other templates' helpers.

It seems like you may be itching to copy the helper-map argument passed to Template.whoIsPlaying.helpers and with it extend the argument currently passed to Template.soloGameSummary.helpers. Note however that the whoIsPlaying template is currently used by both the listedGameSummary and soloGameSummary templates as an expression of commonality between those templates.

@dwinston lol...I'm gonna have to take a few minutes of quiet time to digest that.
