Setting Settings in EE2 Add on
Development and Programming
about 15 years ago
I’m new to Module Dev, and I’m trying to save settings for the addon (just an api key and username). I cannot figure out documentation on how to save settings for an addon. I see a lot that create their own db table for this stuff, but I’m only looking to save like 3 values. I know theres got to be an easier way, I just can’t figure it out. Any help?

I would suggest simply using an Extension for the settings. We’re doing that with a few add-ons. It makes it simple because the table already exists and EE abstracts the form creation bit as well.
