View, organize and edit your Global Variables. Republic Variables is made for multi-language content, but works great for your single language sites too.

Republic Variables hooks into ExpressionEngine’s Global Variables and give you an easy way to view, organize and edit all the variables you use on the site in one place.

The main purpose is to have one place for everything that doesn’t naturally fit in channels. Examples include short phrases, footer information, wording in forms, etc. The variables can also be organized into groups and you can decide which member groups that can access each variable group.

Another purpose is to help the content editors get a better overview of all the variables used, especially when working with multiple languages. The built in multi language support makes it easy to first add languages, and then add variables which automatically is created for all the different languages with your preferred language pre- or postfix.

As of the latest version you can have Republic Variables auto sync or import Global Variables created outside of the add-on even after the initial import.

The improved MSM support includes an option to import variables from one site to another, and if you create the same languages on multiple sites the import will include all the language versions of the variables.

Configuration options include:

 
• Select Member Groups allowed to configure add-on
 
• Select Member Groups allowed to access specific variable groups
 
• Expand or collapse groups by default
 
• Define a default language
 
• Show the default variable or not when using multiple languages
 
• Show the variable data as text or use an image to indicate if variable is empty or not, useful when having a lot of languages
 
• Parse variables early or late for added functionality
 
• In templates, decide if you like to fall back on the default language if the current language variable is empty or not

For more information and to download the add-on please visit the Republic Labs web site.
