CMS Made Simple Forums

hi

i create a new module

i need also a settings tab for this to set some colours, names, email address...

the question is where are these data saved normally in cmsms
because for other modules i didnt find this datas in DB and nor in config files

so the question is where the settings saved?(DB, file...)

thanks

We use the GetPreference and SetPreference api methods to store the module preferences, which does store the data in the preferences table.

hi

i find something also

so that all the settings are saved in the cms_siteprefs table in the DB for all the modules
and if i need something i read it from this table?
and if i want to have some settings for a module than i create a new record in this table?
with the name and value which i want

thanks

in a module I just call $this->SetPreference('preference_name',$value);  and to retrieve the preference $this->GetPreference('preference_name')

That's all you need to do.

ok thanks
i do in this way
