Aliases for %globals_asset_contents_raw:Assetid%

#1

I want to start using more global assets through our site. Currently a bunch of things are included in pages with %globals_asset_contents_raw:% which works but it not very developer friendly.

Is there any way to assign aliases to assets so they can be used more easily?

Or is there a better way to set up variables that we want to be able to use all over the place that will be easier to manage?

If you don’t like the keyword format, you could use SSJS instead. So you could have a global area for SSJS variables that you set somewhere and then reference them throughout your templates.

I discovered I could do this by making use of site_metdata to give variables names. It wasn’t the variable format that was the problem, it was having to remember the asset ID
