New Accessory: Template Variables

In the Solspace CodeShare Corner at EECI 2010, Matthew Krivanek gave me a demo of his new, kick-ass accessory:  Template Variables.

This accessory was born out of my frustration for forgetting what I name my custom fields, snippets and global variables. Now, you have an accessory to use as reference for building your templates. Just click on the EE variable you want to use and it will copy it to your clipboard.

Even with namespacing of custom fields, I still often forget what I named this one or that one. This is a great one-click reference of all of your field, snippets and global variable names.

The accessory is free and available now.
