I'm not sure where to put a general purpose function.

In my website I need to have access to an ID number associated with the sub domain that the site is being accessed with. I have a MySQL table that holds a list of sub domains and their IDs. The function's logic is a simple MySQL query to find the appropriate ID, given the current sub domain in use. This function needs to be accessible to all parts of the Vanilla 2 application as well as any applications or plugins.

As for my question: given the explanation of my function, what would be the most appropriate class to add this in?

Thanks for your time.

Wouldn't it be easier to store this in the PHP, as a configuration parameter? Try looking at conf/config.php which contains the global variables of the forum.

@CurtisB You should be able to just create a plugin and paste the function into it. As long as the plugin is enabled, everything else in the system will have access to it.

Don't add it to a core file or you'll make upgrades painful.

<?php $PluginInfo['MyAwesome'] = array( 'Description' => 'Does awesome.', 'Version' => '1.0', 'Author' => "You" ); function myAwesomeFunction() { // does the stuff you mentioned }
Paste into default.php in /plugins/MyAwesome and then enable in Dashboard.
