What's up all,
  Just wondering what the difference is between storing my custom module settings in the "TabModuleSettings" or "ModuleSettings" Tables?  Is one global and the other tab based?

Meaning if I store the settings in the ModuleSettings table, the setting will be the same no matter which tab I put the module on.  And if I store the settings in the TabModuleSettings the settings are unique to that tab?

Thanks!
Gary

Thanks for the reply!

Then if that is the case...
What is the norm for storing settings?  Cause I have bought a few modules and where they should be storing the settings in the "ModuleSettings" table for individual page modules?  Are they not following "best practices"?

I have just started building custom modules over the past couple of weeks, before I get into a bad habit, I want to start following best practices.

I would assume it is supposed to follow what I described in my original post (modulesettings table = global, tabmodulesettings table = tab specific settings)

Thanks very much in advance!
