# SiteConfig
The `SiteConfig` module provides a generic interface for managing site-wide settings or functionality which is used
throughout the site. Out of the box, this includes setting the site name and site-wide access.
## Accessing variables
`SiteConfig` options can be accessed from any template by using the $SiteConfig variable.
```ss
$SiteConfig.Title
$SiteConfig.Tagline
<% with $SiteConfig %>
$Title $AnotherField
<% end_with %>
```
To access variables in the PHP:
```php
use Silverstripe\SiteConfig\SiteConfig;
$config = SiteConfig::current_site_config();
echo $config->Title;
// returns "Website Name"
```
## Extending SiteConfig
To extend the options available in the panel, define your own fields via a [DataExtension](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataExtension).
**app/src/extensions/CustomSiteConfig.php**
```php
use SilverStripe\Forms\FieldList;
use SilverStripe\Forms\HTMLEditor\HTMLEditorField;
use SilverStripe\ORM\DataExtension;
class CustomSiteConfig extends DataExtension
{
private static $db = [
'FooterContent' => 'HTMLText'
];
public function updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields)
{
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Main",
new HTMLEditorField("FooterContent", "Footer Content")
);
}
}
```
Then activate the extension.
**app/_config/app.yml**
```yml
Silverstripe\SiteConfig\SiteConfig:
extensions:
- CustomSiteConfig
```
[notice]
After adding the class and the YAML change, make sure to rebuild your database by visiting http://example.com/dev/build.
You may also need to reload the screen with a `?flush=1` i.e http://example.com/admin/settings?flush=1.
[/notice]
You can define as many extensions for `SiteConfig` as you need. For example, if you're developing a module and want to
provide the users a place to configure settings then the `SiteConfig` panel is the place to go it.
