I have a problem. I want to use this to generate the settings management for my extension. When I click on the Generate Settings link, it doesn't find you generate.php. It is missing the Vanilla folder name. What should I change?
Never mind. I didn't think out how to use this. Now, I see.
You need a readme describing the procedure for using your extension? If you hadn't read through all the discussions here, as I haven't, then you will make mistakes and ask unnecessary questions like I did. How can you edit the settings form you generate? I forgot to add line breaks between each item. How can you change the widths of the text boxes for data entry? I entered default values that extend beyond the current width.
"How can you edit the settings form you generate? I forgot to add line breaks between each item." click the restore last generated link next to the generate button.
"How can you change the widths of the text boxes for data entry?" I really did think to add this feature. It would really be possible unless I came out with a new version. I will remember for 2.1 to add this.

I don't really understand the problem you had, did you have to change anything in the files? You shouldn't have had to. What was the problem and how did you fix it.
Part of my problem was that I was doing things out of order. That's why a "how to use easy settings" would be good, at least for me of little brain.
One thing I found concerning the display of the settings once you generated them is that they display differently in each theme you use. That is not your problem, but something that an extension author will run into.
I hope to get back to this today.
I have generated my settings. I go to the admin for EasySettings settings. What is the purpose of "Generate Settings" and "Clear Test Page" choices?
just goto the generated.php and copy the genrated code or just whatever is in test.php and add it to the default.php for you extension, be should to note that you must enabke easySettings BEFORE thy enabled yuor extension.
That did not do anything. I still have 2 sets of settings.
I had to edit the test.php and delete everything in it. Then I only saw one set of settings.
There was another problem I resolved by adding a space in front of the input fields because you needed to have the label separated from the input. Looks better.

You have done a great job with this.
