Question

In Magento, the function getStoreConfig($path) will get the value of $path in table core_config_data. I’ve checked there is a value for the $path I use which is carriers/flatrate/infotext , but I still got nothing returned from the call Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/flatrate2/infotext') .

I’ve tried to disable the cache as well as flushing all caches but it still doesn’t work.

This happened when I try to install GLS extension for Magento, is there any case that somehow it interferes with this function ? Thanks

Update:

I’ve just found out something : this function actually returns the text, I find nothing wrong with it but it doesn’t work, when I try to use Magento::getStoreConfig directly, it works.

protected function getInfoText($carrierCode)
{
  if ($text = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/'.$carrierCode.'/infotext')) {
    return $text;
  }
  return '';
}

Magento version: 1.7 CE

Magento caches the StoreConfig in memory, so make sure you flush all the cache after making change in config_store_data in Magento. This happens when you try to upgrade or install new extension – which is my case.
