Re: Application Settings stored in the DB and available in plugin models?

Variables stored via Configure::write should be accessable anywhere in
your site- if it isn't working then the code isn't being executed.
Figure out why it isn't executing and you'll solve your problem.

Does your plugin AppController extend your site's AppController? Also,
where are you defining the settings? If you are doing it in the
AppController beforeFilter, and are using beforeFilter in your plugin
AppController, make sure that you are calling parent::beforeFilter()
in your plugin's AppController.

Sam
