Application settings

[inkredible]

Hello,

I am writing a nodejs chat application and I wonder how I should store my settings.

In your complete plugin tutorial you introduced the IPS settings repository which is obviously great for storing settings. However my settings need to be available for my node.js chatserver. Is it still possible to access the settings for my nodejs server in that case? An option would be storing these settings in an own table. What do you recommend?

 

By the way: Your complete plugin tutorial was very useful for getting started, I hope you guys consider to write a complete tutorial for an application as well.

As for settings, they already are in a separate table - core_sys_conf_settings. You can look up a setting by conf_key.
