Nick Baker aka WebtechNick has a settings plugin
you can also add settings from with app/config/bootstrap.php
$imageSettings = array();
$imageSettings['thumb'] = array(125, 200);
$imageSettings['large'] = array(400, 600);
Configure::write('Site.images', $imageSettings);
then elsewhere $thumbSizes = Configure::read('Site.images.thumb');
debug($thumbSizes); // outputs
Array
(
[0] => 125
[1] => 200
)
(Just noticed that Tom has replied with much of the info I would add here)
you would use this none plugin method.
Nick plugin is here (other simular plugins exist too)
