Get Settings
Hi

How do I get settings?

For example how would I get the 'Default Alias Path' of the current site?

Cheers

RE:Get Settings
Hello.

You can use methods from CMS.SettingsProvider.SettingsKeyProvider class. For example GetKeyValueFromDB. Please see more details in API reference file.

RE:Get Settings
Thanks for your quick reply.

However the API Reference file contains no descriptive text or examples.

CMS.SettingsProvider.SettingsKeyProvider.GetKeyValueFromDB(CurrentSite.SiteName, "DefaultAliasPath");

Can you give me some clues?

Cheers

RE:Get Settings
Hello.

According to my API reference file, it uses two parameters:

Site name (which is known, or can be taken from CMSContext class).
globalKeyName – you can see these values in CMS_SettingsKey table, in KeyName column.
