Define groups of variables used by a module.

Variable groups are used for presentation only, to display and edit the variables on manageable groups. Groups can define a subset of a module's variables and can be reused accross modules to group related variables.

A form to edit all variables in a group can be generated with:

drupal_get_form('variable_group_form', group_name);

Return value

An array of information defining variable types. The array contains a sub-array for each variable group, with the group as the key. Possible attributes:

  • "title": The human readable name of the group. Must be localized.
  • "description": The human readable description of the group. Must be localized.
  • "access": Permission required to edit group's variables. Will default to 'administer site configuration'.
  • "path": Array of administration paths where these variables can be accessed.
