How to create a custom component which uses the values in Admin -> Display -> Front Page
I would like to create a custom component which uses the values in Admin -> Display -> Front Page, to set the number of discussions in the top discussions, the number of posts in the recent posts module, etc. Is there a way of linking these values to my custom component?
