Custom libraries with custom config files ... how?

Hello,

The CodeIgniter documentation states thusly:

Passing Parameters When Initializing Your Class

In the library loading function you can dynamically pass data via the second parameter and it will be passed to your class constructor:
$params = array('type' => 'large', 'color' => 'red');

$this->load->library('Someclass', $params);

If you use this feature you must set up your class constructor to expect data:

Code:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Someclass {

    function Someclass($params)
    {
        // Do something with $params
    }
}
?>

You can also pass parameters stored in a config file. Simply create a config file named identically to the class file name and store it in your application/config/ folder. Note that if you dynamically pass parameters as described above, the config file option will not be available.

Anyone know more specifics on this? I tried this out, making a file in application/config identically named to my library's file name, and added some parameters there; but how are they supposed to be named, and how do you access them from the library? I can't seem to find any documentation on this.

Since it doesn't say anything, I assumed that the parameters in the config file would be available as an array passed into the constructor, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I tried naming my parameters in the config file as members of a $config array, as well as an array named after my class. But neither shows up when the class constructor is called.

Anyone have anything on this?

Thanks
