Right now it should be considered in development.  I've done some testing and had good results, but I want more testing before I release it on the Mods Site.  It can be downloaded from Github: https://github.com/dragonexpert/MyBB-Theme-Variables

Seems a interesting and useful plugin... just downloaded it will check it (locally) soon...

When I next update this, it will have have an All Themes option. I don't plan on supporting for more than one single theme for a couple reasons:
1) Performance can take a big hit because there is no efficient way to query.
2) The Copy function exists so you can easily copy the variable to another theme.

Added the All themes option. It should be noted that this is the free version. It will be maintained in terms of support and bugs, but additional features will be added to a premium version. The interface may undergo a small redesign based on feedback.

I realize this is an unfinished plugin, but would you care to provide basic usage instructions? I appreciate your work, but it's not very useful if you're the only one who knows how to use it. The initial issue I haven't managed to work out is what the required fields even require. I click "Create Variable" after filling out the fields and the page just reloads. Am I doing something wrong?

Once you have created a variable, the next step is to use the variable in whichever template. I'm not sure if you have the latest code, but if you would like to test out the premium version, I can hook you up with an account that has access to it.

I have the premium version of this plugin but honestly some basic documentation would be nice.

Sure, I'll gladly take you up on that offer.

I'll aim for getting some documentation done on either Sunday or Monday because I have those days off from work.
