Add new variable to magento core config

Question

What is the best way to add a new config setting in the configuration->Catalog->Search Engine Optimisations or any other such location in the core configuration.

I am developing an extension which will need to use this setting that I will define here.

Thanks karam

If you are developing an extension, you can configure your field for administration using system.xml. The xpath will be catalog/groups/seo/fields/your_field (ref. Mage/Catalog/etc/system.xml).

To set a default for this value, you can either add the value to your module's config.xml using the xpath default/catalog/seo/your_field, or you can create an install script which will write the value to core_config_data.
