Retrieve custom setting value added for a site.

Hi,
I have added a custom setting category and a custom setting in that category, by inserting 1 record each in "CMS_SettingsCategory" and "CMS_SettingsKey" for a specific site.
Now I can see this custom setting under "Site Manager"->"Settings". My category is in the last and it has one setting in it when I open that category. I set value in this setting.
But I am not finding any way to retrieve this setting value in my webpart. Please help me with the API.

Thanks
Anshuman

Hello, You can use methods from the SettingsKeyProvider class, as it shown here: int keyvalue1 = SettingsKeyProvider.GetIntValue(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName + ".<keyname1>"); OR bool keyvalue2 = SettingsKeyProvider.GetBoolValue(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName + ".<keyname2>"); Best regards, Michal Legen

RE:Retrieve custom setting value added for a site.

I had tried the about code. that's work for getting global settings. however, i cannot get different settings with different site name.

my custom settings categories as below

sites: site1
site2

Category: myCustom
Group: EmailContact
Key: Australia

Global value:
test
value in different sites:
contact@test1.com

contact@test2.com

so that the full keyname should be myCustom.EmailContact.Australia for getting global settings of that key.

I added the same code as above:

string keyvalue = SettingsKeyProvider.GetStringValue(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName + ".myCustom.EmailContact.Australia");

I cannot get keyvalue in different site, always getting Global value = test

RE:Retrieve custom setting value added for a site.

oo, ok with your reply, Thank you :)

by logic, the code name on category and group would working as namespace.

Should I modify the code name as following (all in code name field):

Category: myCustom
Group: myCustom.EmailContact
Key: myCustom.EmailContact.Australia

OR actually code name is just any string, used to identify when i call in method/function as parameter.
