XOOPS FAQ - Hacks and modifying code - How do I access a module's configuration settings?

Suppose that a parameter named 'foo' is defined in /modules/bar/xoops_version.php:

$modversion['config'][-]['name'] = 'foo';

1) To access this setting from within the module you use:

 global $xoopsModuleConfig; // needed only if within a function 
echo "The  current value of 'foo' is: " . $xoopsModuleConfig['foo'];

2) To access this setting anywhere, such as in a block, you use:

 $module_handler =& xoops_gethandler('module'); 
$module         =& $module_handler->getByDirname('bar'); 
$config_handler =& xoops_gethandler('config'); 
$moduleConfig   =& $config_handler->getConfigsByCat(0, $module->getVar('mid')); 
echo "The  current value of 'foo' is: " . $moduleConfig['foo'];
