DB - Module cleanup
Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 1:15 am
I've just started getting into how modules are being stored in the db and I'm lost to as why there are settings in:
the setting table
the extension table
and in individual tables (ie information module)
The came to my attention when I added the 2 modules for loading modules in the footer and for the extra html module.
Looking at how this developer stored his information at first I was like WTF
but upon further digging, it started to make sense as a way to code in a hack to a problem with oc.
I really suggest that modules should be separated so that it'll make developing easier and possibly allow better db management.
