Notes

• Allows authorized member groups to add and maintain global variables without needing access to Templates or FTP
• Variables are parsed very early on, making them suitable for use in tag parameters, or even to contain tags themselves.
• Works with the Multiple Site Manager, allowing variables to be installation-wide or only available to a specific site.
• path.php variables override Fresh Variables, allowing even greater level of control of content

NOTE: Unlike path.php global variables, Fresh Variables can be used to contain HTML, ExpressionEngine tags, and even PHP, so bear this in mind when granting access to the module.

Installation Instructions

The Fresh Variables Module is simple to install.

1. Download Fresh Variables
2. Upload the files to the following locations:
   • /system/modules/fresh_variables/mcp.fresh_variables.php
   • /system/modules/fresh_variables/mod.fresh_variables.php
   • /system/extensions/ext.fresh_variables.php
   • /system/languages/english/lang.fresh_variables.php
3. Make sure that Extensions are enabled in ExpressionEngine by visiting Admin > Utilities > Extensions Manager in your control panel. If the button on the top right reads "Enable Extensions?", click it to enable Extensions in this installation.
4. Go into the Modules section of your ExpressionEngine Control Panel. Find Fresh Variables in your list of modules, and click install. The companion extension will automatically be installed and uninstalled along with the module from the Modules section.

That's it! You are now ready to begin creating and managing Fresh Variables!
