Setting Variable value?

  • I see where I can set the variable value when I create the variable. Is there a way to update or change the value by going to a certain page or reading another variables value. I have an input field in a form for a zip code and I want the global variable to get that value any time it’s changed. Is the global variable value only for a specific user?

    Hello,

    The value won’t change per user and it will pull from globally configured value whenever you refer to it through either shortcode or the PHP code below.

    shortcode
    [cgv variable-name]

    PHP code
    <?php echo $GLOBALS[‘cgv’][‘variable-name’] ?>

    If you want variables per user basis, those variables should be added to user entity as field via ACF or any custom fields.

    So if I set an ACF field for names. Three different people come to the site on a page and enter their names, from the front end. As long as they are on the site, can I pull their name independant of the other people that are also on the site? Does that make sense? I could probably do this with cookies but I was trying to avoid that process.

    That is not a proper usage for this plugin.
    User specific temporary data should be stored in a session or cookie.
    Thanks,
