Global attributes
Permalink
Hi been using C5 for a while and I haven't figured out the best way to achieve a global attribute through the dashboard/attribute system. I would like to have a place to simply set some global site-wide options like something that shows on every page or just a general setting that you want to store site wide and not on a collection or in a stack or using a block, just basic storage of an attribute through the dashboard and ability to pull it when I need it anywhere.
Yes I can code my own dashboard page and make this work, just wondering if I am missing something in the UI because it seems like it would be a standard feature with C5's attribute system to set some global generic settings through the dashboard.

Yeah I really want to use the built in attribute system with the editing interface and widgets they provide rather than hard coding config values or using an addon that isn't using the attribute system.
This seems a bit crazy to me C5 has this powerful attribute system yet there is no built in way to specify a few global attributes! Guess I'll build it myself..

Or you could use Config variables, it just depends what you are using them for which would be better
