Use it if you want to save and read serialized data into/from DB (DBConfigure::read = (Configure::write + DBConfigure::write)).

Installation

cd my_cake_app/app
git clone git://github.com/samokspv/cakephp-DBConfigure.git Plugin/DBConfigure

or if you use git add as submodule:

cd my_cake_app
git submodule add "git://github.com/samokspv/cakephp-DBConfigure.git" "app/Plugin/DBConfigure"

then add plugin loading in Config/bootstrap.php

CakePlugin::load('DBConfigure');

Usage

In any place of your code:

App::uses('DBConfigure', 'DBConfigure.Utility');

For example:
// save to DB
DBConfigure::write('TestSetting', array(
	'key_1' => array(
		'key_1_1' => 'value_1_1',
		'key_1_2' => array(
			'key_1_2_1' => 'value_1_2_1'
		)
	)
));
// read from DB
DBConfigure::read('TestSetting'); 
	/*return: array(
		'key_1' => array(
			'key_1_1' => 'value_1_1',
			'key_1_2' => array(
				'key_1_2_1' => 'value_1_2_1'
			)
		)
	)*/
DBConfigure::read('TestSetting.key_1');
	/*return: array(
		'key_1_1' => 'value_1_1',
		'key_1_2' => array(
			'key_1_2_1' => 'value_1_2_1'
		)
	)*/
DBConfigure::read('TestSetting.key_1.key_1_2');
	/*return: array(
		'key_1_2_1' => 'value_1_2_1'
	)*/
DBConfigure::read('TestSetting.key_1_3', 'defaultValue_1_3'); 
	/*return: defaultValue_1_3*/

// save to DB
DBConfigure::write('TestSetting.key_1.key_1_2', 'value_1_2_1_update');
// read from DB
DBConfigure::read('TestSetting.key_1.key_1_2');
	/*return: array(
		'key_1_2_1' => 'value_1_2_1_update'
	)*/

// save to session
Configure::write('TestSetting.key_1', 'value_1');
Configure::write('TestSetting.key_2', 'value_2');
// save to DB
DBConfigure::write('TestSetting.key_2', 'value_2_update');
DBConfigure::write('TestSetting.key_3', 'value_3');
// read from DB
DBConfigure::read('TestSetting');
	/*return: array(
		'key_1' => 'value_1',
		'key_2' => 'value_2_update',
		'key_3' => 'value_3'
	)*/
