How do I load custome addon settings

[jim6763nva]

Hi everyone,

This is again in regard to the World of Warcraft Lottery addon I'm working on. I have a custom settings page similar to other addon settings pages that gives the admin the ability to enable or disable the addon for maintenance purposes, as well as set other global addon settings. I've done some research on how to load setting values from the database by looking at other addon code and searched the forums here. I've seen it done several ways to sunday, but now I'm totally confused and frustrated.
Would anyone has some simple suggestions/example on how to do this?

Thank you in advance!
Jim
