Nick Baker aka WebtechNick has a settings plugin you can also add settings from with app/config/bootstrap.php
$imageSettings = array(); $imageSettings['thumb'] = array(125, 200); $imageSettings['large'] = array(400, 600); Configure::write('Site.images', $imageSettings); then elsewhere $thumbSizes = Configure::read('Site.images.thumb'); debug($thumbSizes); // outputs Array ( [0] => 125 [1] => 200 ) (Just noticed that Tom has replied with much of the info I would add here) you would use this none plugin method. Nick plugin is here (other simular plugins exist too) https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Configuration-Plugin On 30 January 2011 19:35, elias <elias.leco...@gmail.com> wrote: > That is the best way to store global configuration stuff in cakephp? > > Can the following problem also be solved with storing in in a table? > > A group of image width and height's values > > - 125 X 200 > - 400 X 600 > - 1024 X 768 > > But their needs to be a possibility to add more values. > When the image upload scripts get's an image uploaded, it checks al these > values and makes resized images for each of the values. > So if their are only 2 widht+height values, only 2 images get generated. > But when the admin ads additional values more images get generated. > > I would assume then that i also would have to make another table, and link > this with a $hasMany ? > > But for each change in these settings I would have to alter the database. > Isn't their another (easier) possibility? > Maybe one that uses an xml file to store everything? > > -- > Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials > http://tv.cakephp.org > Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help > others with their CakePHP related questions. > > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > cake-php+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<cake-php%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com>For > more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php > -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
