I have emailed phpfox and they are taking their sweet time to email back, im just wondering what getParam() does? and also it seems to get settings e.g. Phpfox::getParam('user.approve_users') where are the settings held?? i cannot find them anywhere

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

are you familiar with API (and google.com ) ?

your answer is there :

http://www.phpfox.com/phpapi/Phpfox/Phpfox_Setting.html

getParam (line 331)
Get a setting and its value. return: Returns the value of the setting, which can be a STRING, ARRAY, BOOL or INT.

just read the API
