		'title'			=> 'MyPlugin Settings',
		'description'	=> 'Settings for MyPlugin.',
		'disporder'		=> "1",
		'isdefault'		=> 'no',
	);
	$db->insert_query('settinggroups', $setting_group);
	$gid = $db->insert_id();

	$myplugin_setting = array(
		'name'			=> 'myplugin_setting1',
		'title'			=> 'A random setting for MyPlugin',
		'description'	=> 'What this setting will do',
		'optionscode'	=> 'yesno', //this will be a yes/no select box
		'value'			=> '1', //default value is yes, use 0 for no
		'disporder'		=> 1,
		'gid'			=> intval($gid),
	);

	$db->insert_query('settings', $myplugin_setting);



	$myplugin_setting = array(
		'name'			=> 'myplugin_setting2',
		'title'			=> 'Another random setting for MyPlugin',
		'description'	=> 'This is a textbox.',
		'optionscode'	=> 'text', //this will be a textbox, for a big textbox use textarea
		'value'			=> 'defauly value, yay!',
		'disporder'		=> 2, //increment this
		'gid'			=> intval($gid),
	);

	$db->insert_query('settings', $myplugin_setting);


	rebuild_settings();
}

Deleting Settings on Uninstall

Here is how to delete settings.

function myplugin_uninstall()
{
	global $db;
	$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settings WHERE name IN ('myplugin_setting1','myplugin_setting2')");
	$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settinggroups WHERE name='myplugin'");
	rebuild_settings(); 
}

function myplugin_functionname()
