Uhm, I'm not sure if I understood you properly.

Look at the serendipity_plugin_shoutbox plugin, that is a small and easy example for a plugin creating its own database entry.

If you just want to store values, use:

Code: Select all

$this->set_config('your_config_variable', 'your value');
and later you can fetch it via:

Code: Select all

$this->get_config('your_config_variable');
But this is always stored inside DB table serendipity_config then.
