Problem changing config item in My_Controller

[eluser]spmckee[/eluser]
Greetings,

Im trying to change a config item via my back-end admin settings. In "My_Controller" I have

Code:

$this->output->enable_profiler(Settings::get('my_enable_profiler'));

that doesn't work.


Here's the break-down:

Code:

echo  Settings::get('my_enable_profiler');  //TRUE

// Works
$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);

// Doesn't work
$this->output->enable_profiler(Settings::get('my_enable_profiler'));

//Even tried "(boolean)" but didn't work
$this->output->enable_profiler((boolean)Settings::get('my_enable_profiler'));

If my echo gets the same result as typing it i, why doesn't it work?

Thanks,
SP

Are you absolutely certain it's returning TRUE like you think? Perhaps you should try a var_dump()? The reason I ask, is that's the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't work.

The only other thing I can think of, is that you're calling it too late in your script, but that's quite unlikely. Is this code within your controller constructor?

Thanks Fuzzy.

Code:

var_dump(Settings::get('my_enable_profiler'));     //string(4) "TRUE"

It lives in

Code:

public function MY_Controller() {

        parent::__construct();

   ....


};

I'm baffled. I'd suggest copying ./system/core/Output.php to ./application/core/Output.php, (and maybe the same with the profiler) then you can add some debugging code, and hopefully trace the problem back to the source. Sorry, but that's the best I can come up with. I'm totally baffled by this.
