Module Overview
---------------

[](#module-overview)

This module adds a convenient `SiteConfig` like interface for managing global content. Useful for when you want global content but don't want to give content-authors access to `SiteConfig`

Module Usage
------------

[](#module-usage)

Too add additional fields:

- Create a `DataExtension` that gets applied to `GlobalContent`
- The extension requires an `updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields)` method and any standard `DataExtension` properties

```
class GlobalContentExtension extends DataExtension
{

    protected static $db = [
        'MyFieldName' => 'Varchar'
    ];

    public function updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields)
    {

        $fields->addFieldToTab(
            'Root.Main',
            TextField::create('MyFieldName', 'My field name')
        );

    }

}
```

The use with permissions:

- Grant the user/role/group the `Access to 'Global Content' section` permission

To use in templates:

- `$GlobalContent.MyFieldName`
- ` {$MyFieldName} `
- `$GlobalContent('MyFieldName')`

To use in PHP:

- `GlobalContent::inst()->MyFieldName`

To alter the edit form directly:

- Create a new `LeftAndMainExtension` that gets applied to `GlobalContentAdmin`
- The extension can use the `updateEditForm($form)` method to update the form **before** data is loaded.
- The extension can use the `updateEditFormData($form)` method to update the form **after** data is loaded.
