Extension Pointers - Simple yet significant pointers #8: CRM variables
Getting and setting CRM variable values in an extension
CRM variables come in handy when you need global access to a variable across an entire extension. There may also be a need for user-specific data, which the user must provide at the time of installation. CRM variables come in handy in these situations as well. Let's look at how and where you can get or set the value of a CRM variable in an extension.
