It's exactly the same.

XenForo_Application::getOptions()->yourOptionId

<?php
class Nudaii_XFCHAT_Model_XFCHAT extends XenForo_Model
{

    //Pull Data
    public function getXFCHATById($XFCHATID)
    {
        return $this->_getDb()->fetchRow('
            SELECT * FROM xf_XFCHAT WHERE XFCHAT_id = ?', $XFCHATID);
    }

    // Get all the rows of our table.
    public function getAllXFCHAT()
    {
            $XFCHATLimit = XenForo_Application::getOptions()->XFCHATLimit;
            return $this->fetchAllKeyed('SELECT * FROM xf_XFCHAT ORDER BY XFCHAT_date DESC LIMIT $XFCHATLimit', 'XFCHAT_id');
    }

}
?>

is what i have , but give sthis error, any idea what i did wrong?

That's related to you using single quotes for that getAllXFCHAT query so the variable isn't interpolated (it's passed to MySQL).

Oh duh, i cant believe i missed that, thanks mike, working great now

It's also worth noting, that you should be taking a similar approach here to your getXFCHATById query.

You should never pass a variable directly into a MySQL query as this could be a SQL injection attack vector. This is somewhat mitigated assuming that $XFCHATLimit is only an integer, but it's still really bad practice.

You should always use prepared statements for your queries, so it should look something like this. The limitQueryResults bit is a helper that helps apply a limit and an optional offset to the query results. It should make the limit variable safe before injecting it into the query.

return $this->fetchAllKeyed($this->limitQueryResults('SELECT * FROM xf_XFCHAT ORDER BY XFCHAT_date DESC', $XFCHATLimit), 'XFCHAT_id');
