# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:45 hmic chrisshick: your advice on the table structure of the settigns table is wrong too IMHO. you don't create columns for each setting but key/value fields only to save your settings!
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:43 hmic user settings usually go with a user_settings table, this is things like a currency or language for example
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:42 hmic enviromnent settings go with app_local.php for me, or just .env files, i personally keep api keys there too most of the time, because thez differ from the envs too
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:40 hmic i would want to implement different means of setting these!
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:39 hmic humbba12: you should consider different ways to have these settings stored. you seem to mix up different things here, like: environment dependent settigns (sandbox/production), you have settigns an admin might want/need to change - which might need to be protected in some way (like the payment api key) and application settings, maybe even user settings, like the currency
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:29 chrisshick No problem
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:27 humbba12 I appreciate your help
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:27 humbba12 thank you so much
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:27 humbba12 I see
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:25 chrisshick would be columns
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:24 chrisshick api_key environment currency
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:24 chrisshick Then, there shouldn't be an issue at all to just simply create a settings table with the options you need
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:22 humbba12 I'm sorry I mean no. I'm using the api in the controller
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:21 chrisshick with all the settings in it
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:21 chrisshick you could create a settings table
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:20 chrisshick but if you wanted to stick with models
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:20 chrisshick I would recommend using events and utilizing it that way
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:20 chrisshick Personally, any time you using models within models, it starts to get hairy and creates dependencies
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:18 humbba12 yes
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:17 chrisshick I'm assuming you are using the payment processor api directly in the model?
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:17 humbba12 for example to get the payment proccesor api key to charge the customer in orders model
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:16 chrisshick Why would you need it in other models?
# Jul 3rd 2018, 03:02 humbba12 I'm working in a e-commerce website I need to give the admin the posibility to change payment proccesor api keys, change from sandbox to production, change currency, etc. I got Orders, coupons, users, customers controller and model, etc
# Jul 3rd 2018, 02:35 chrisshick A few more details would hlep
# Jul 3rd 2018, 02:35 chrisshick @humbba12 what are you trying to do?
# Jul 2nd 2018, 23:45 humbba12 what would be the best aproach to handle settings table which I need in other models?
