Setting.pm creates a setting object, which is a hash containing the user preference information for a single preference for a single user. These are usually accessed through the "settings" object of a user, and not directly.

DESCRIPTION

use Bugzilla::User::Setting; my $settings;

$settings->{$setting_name} = new Bugzilla::User::Setting( $setting_name, $user_id);

OR

$settings->{$setting_name} = new Bugzilla::User::Setting( $setting_name, $user_id, $is_enabled, $default_value, $value, $is_default);

CLASS FUNCTIONS

add_setting($name, \@values, $default_value, $subclass, $force_check)

Params: $name - string - the name of the new setting $values - arrayref - contains the new choices for the new Setting. $default_value - string - the site default $subclass - string - name of the module returning the list of valid values.
