Member	positivepurchasing - 4/27/2012 10:26:37 AM Custom Settings How to I get the custom settings? Is there a namespace? a context? anything?


Member	positivepurchasing - 4/27/2012 10:55:26 AM RE:Custom Settings Also how do I remove a setting??? Please point in the direction of some developer info so I can learn something. I am struggling with Kentico as I am new to Kentico. I just don't understand the Kentico way of thinking / doing things.


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 4/27/2012 5:52:45 PM RE:Custom Settings Hi, Have you already seen the API Examples available in Site Manager -> Support -> API examples section? There are also examples how to manage the settings keys. I hope it'll help. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Custom Settings

Hi Juraj

I still cannot retrieve custom settings.

In SiteManager>Development>CustomSettings I have created a new category called 'SagePay' and created a new settings key called 'CMSSagePaySuccessUrl' which is a string.

I have tried 'SettingsKeyProvider.GetStringValue("CMSSagePaySuccessUrl")' but this returns null. Does the category matter?

Please show me how to retrieve this value. I cannot find any useful info in the documentation.

Cheers
Paul.


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 10/15/2012 3:28:28 AM RE:Custom Settings Hi, Are you following the API examples? Have you tried using the site ID in the GetStringValue method? The setting you have created may be site specific and not global: SettingsKeyInfo updateKey = SettingsKeyProvider.GetSettingsKeyInfo("MyNewKey", CMSContext.CurrentSiteID); Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Custom Settings

Hi,

I've done this which works OK.

SettingsKeyInfo getSettingsKeyInfo(string keyName)
    {
        SettingsKeyInfo settingsKeyInfo = SettingsKeyProvider.GetSettingsKeyInfo(keyName, CMSContext.CurrentSiteID);

        if (settingsKeyInfo == null || settingsKeyInfo.KeyValue == null)
        {
            settingsKeyInfo = SettingsKeyProvider.GetSettingsKeyInfo(keyName);
        }

        return settingsKeyInfo;
    }

Cheers
Paul
