Hey Everyone,

             I was hoping for a little help.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
 I want the site admin to be able to add in information that a module will use. Such as a list of names.


 For each instence of the module the admin can add in multiple name paramaters creating a list of names. The number of names and names stored will very per instence of the module. Then the module will use the list of names to do something.

Is this possible?

I was hoping there was a way to store the parameters inside the database or something based on that instence of the module. I have a vuage understanding of the Module Settings but as far as I understand those will hold a single value that the module uses. I want to hold multiple values of a parameter.

If I've been too vuage please let me know and I'll give as much detail as you need. Thank you very much for your help everyone!

Module settings are stored by module id which a new module id is issued for each intance of a module.

TabModuleSettings are stored by each instance of a module on a tab.  If a module is copied from one page to another it will have 1 module id but 2 tab module id's.

Depending on what you are storing you might want to write your own custom data classes.
