Limit queries for pulling add-on options?

[CaseLogic]

I am working on an add-on, and I have set up an option for it in the admincp. However I quickly noticed that these options don't seem to be cached. I have overloaded two model functions, and in each one I am grabbing this option I have set up. When I run the page, I see that my db queries has increased by 2, one for each of the option queries.

I figured that the options would be cached somewhere so it wouldn't use up a db query to grab it. Do you guys have any recommendations for how I can store this value so it doesn't need to query each time? Can I add it to a global registry or something the first time I grab it and then just check that in the future? What have you guys been doing? Maybe I'm just approaching this the wrong way.

Options from:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options

...should already be cached, yes. Is that where you have added your option?

Otherwise the simpleCache can be used to store data that you need on every page load:

Check your debug page. There you'll probably see the 2 new queries. Are they really because of the options?
Do you use probably custom templates? Or do you do anything else inside the 2 model functions?

Thanks for the responses. I'm modifying the content that gets displayed on the forum view. I have overloaded 2 thread model functions so it changes the conditions of the threads it pulls depending on the set option. I have overloaded the countThreadsInForum routine and the getThreadsInForum routine. The only thing that these routines are doing is pulling the option using the Application::getOption('options') call and modifying the conditions. Then it passes on to the next function as usual. So the only thing in these routines that would generate 2 new db queries is the getOption call.

Jake, I have set up the options via that page. I added a new option group/option for my addon, and am getting the option via the $options = getOption('options'); $myoption = $options['myoption'] method that I saw in a tutorial somewhere.

$myOption = XenForo_Application::get('options')->myOption;

 

[CaseLogic]

$myOption = XenForo_Application::get('options')->myOption;

Would that somehow do something different and prevent the query? Seems like it would do the same thing just in one line instead of two.
