Using fuel (or another way of setting constants)

[thomas]

Hello,

a long time ago I learned in this forum that a nice way of making something accessible throughout my site is

    public function ready() {

        $company = wire('pages')->get(...);

        $this->fuel->set("company", $company);

    }

in a module. I use this so I only need to declare $company once and then use it in all of my templates.

Now my question is twofold:

- is this a good way of doing this? 

- I often use little scripts outside the template folder which bootstrap PW and do little things, mostly via Ajax or sometimes in the terminal. Now how can I make $company available to those? I tried a lot of combinations of wire('company'), $this->fuel->get and so on but no success.

Who can help?

Thanks,

thomas

init.inc? http://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/how-to-structure-your-template-files/page4

Edit: Oops, maybe not. Read this too quickly. Thought you were referring to template files

Maybe define it on the init and not ready. Bootstrap doesn't trigger ready as its not web context.

That was it, thanks Soma!
