How to create multi store module in the Magento

I want to create my custom module multi store compatible. I want to get the value from my custom database table as per configuration scope. While adding the values to the database table, i have specified the scope_id and scope like as Magento does in the core_config_data table. Now how can i fetch those inserted value from the table according to the selected website on the front end.

I have the following database value snippet.

ID    value   scope_id    scope

1   test      0   default
2    test1   4    store
3   test12   5   website

Can anybody help me in this? Thanks

It is not so easy to reuse Magento's config loading for your own needs.

What you want is to inherit your values from default -> website -> store (if not overwritten in there).

Magento converts the database config to the internal XML representation in Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Config::loadToXml and does the merging and inheritance logic in there.

The inheritance logic is all in the loadToXml() function - so you could implement something similar if you want to take the same approach and build your values for each store scope.

If you simply need to get one value for a specific scope you just have to read the database row with that store, if not found with the website the store is in, if not found the default value.
