Re: [VuFind-Tech] vufind configuration

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Thanks for the suggestions.

#1: I've committed an updated iniMerge() in r5546.  Here's code that should do the same thing as yours in slightly fewer lines:

function iniMerge($config_ini, $custom_ini)
{
    foreach ($custom_ini as $k => $v) {
        // Make a recursive call if we need to merge array values into an existing
        // key...  otherwise just drop the value in place.
        if (is_array($v) && isset($config_ini[$k])) {
            $config_ini[$k] = iniMerge($config_ini[$k], $custom_ini[$k]);
        } else {
            $config_ini[$k] = $v;
        }
    }
    return $config_ini;
}

Please let me know if you have any problems with this.

#2: VuFind 2.0 will address this problem -- it uses a "related record" plug-in system for the record view so that you can decide which actions are performed to fill in the sidebar (this makes it easier to disable unwanted features AND to add new stuff like custom API integrations).  This is already implemented in the work-in-progress branch (https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/branches/vufind2/).  I'm not planning on backporting this functionality to the 1.x code, though if you think it's worth doing the work and are willing to submit a patch, I'd certainly be happy to commit it to the trunk.  If you don't want to put that much effort into it, I'd recommend just modifying the code to disable it for now, and upgrading to 2.0 when you have the opportunity.  (A first release candidate is due for release in July).

Let me know if you have any questions about anything.
