RE: Settings

Ok, I tried adding the references in the mf in the "Services" and "UI"
folders.  I reload the module and it is actually showing up in the
options, but I get all these IntrospectionExceptions like ever 5 seconds
(really annoying).  I also got a MissingResourceException for
bugs.Bundle.  It is there as you know.  I don't know what I'm doing
wrong.  I can't find any documentation on the NB Dev about it either.
Let me know if you can help. 

Thanks
Andrew

Subject: Re: Settings

ok, i saw that there were references to the setting in the mf.xml, but 
i don't understand the "folders"  I don't know where to add my 
references to the files.

As for the other question, The bug engine pref, I want to be a drop 
down box with the different engines currently supported. Then query, i 
just want that to be a text field.  Where do I tell it that?  How do I 
populate my combobox?  Stuff like that.  I saw code that used the 
settings, that looks pretty easy, but I don't get how you set it up.

Thanks!
Andrew
