Load settings from database at bootstrap - El Forum - 09-16-2012

[eluser]Saquib[/eluser]
I want to load some settings from database in my application, I am planing to do that using a model which will be auto-loaded from config.

In model construct i will perform actions like a db query and fetch settings and store it in session for later use.

Quote:Application is allowed access from current ip address
Is App is marked as offline
Setting TimeZone for app

My Question is

Quote:What is the right way to load settings which should be available at very early stage in app (on bootstrap) ?
Is it good to store settings in Session ? what else can be done (Almost 25 columns data)?

Please help !

If you dont want to store the data in a database you can always create a custom config file. It tells you exactly how in the user guide.

I just extend the Controller with MY_Controller and have MY_Controller get that data from the database and stick it in an array, which anything else can then use.
