I wish to have a site-wide template constant.
I can do it within a template via {assign_variable:x="y"} but not across all templates.
Well, the documentation blithely says go to control panel/templates and click on global variables.
Fine, so I do this and it tells me

“There are currently no global variables “

Which is true I suppose, but not very helpful.  There is nothing to click on to add/create etc. 

How do I create a global variable ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, HPCI. Take a look at the upper right corner of the page.. do you see a big green button labeled Create a New Global Variable?

Sue,

thanks, um..actually,  no !

I can find it in the source code, but it doesn’t render..

<td class=‘breadcrumbRight’  valign=‘bottom’ align=‘right’>
<span class=“crumblinksR” id=“rcrumb”  Create a New Global Variable</span>
</td>

I can see the button properly on other instances of Expression Engine, but not this one.  If you can think of an obvious thing that has gone wrong with the installation, I’d be grateful.

But if not, I’ll work around it via $global_vars in path.php

You may need to re-upload your /themes folder to fix the problem.

Thanks.
This was a case of getting the .htaccess file and the URL to themes folder in alignment.
Working now.

Glad to hear that things are working again. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
