Hi Alban,

getting your settings from TS is easy, for example if you have:

plugin.tx_ext_pi1.settings.limit = 10 in your TS Setup, this can be 
retrieved using

$this->settings['limit'] in your controller and viewhelpers (? never 
tried that one).

For Fluid you can use: {settings.limit}

Hope this helps,

Henjo
