I'll try to commit the latest version of it all tomorrow (I'm going to
figure out how to commit something at all as the day before yesterday was my
first day with CVS). About "prepend'" , I wonder whether it works if we have
a file,lets say, in /htdocs/mydircteory/something/file.php?

And more: how can we know if we want our value to be quoted? I mean,
sometimes something like this BC_PATH."/ext/metabase" is passed and it
doesn't need usual quotes arround it....

Cool. I'll help if you have probs.

prepend.php is replicated over all dirctories, i guess.

In fact it does not work with quotes. That's a problem. I just worked around
it by setting IncludePath directly in QueryManager. But I don't like it. So
xml2php should look for BC_* and act accordingly i.e. BC_PATH."path/to/"

Another problem ist that xml2php translates structures with no more than one
"entry" like:

into

$data = array(
    'lang'= array (..);
);

but what we want is

$data = array(
    array(
	...
    )
);

For the moment this was only a problem with datasources.php and i added a
dummy entry to avoid this.

Best,

Andi

    Yup. The server said: cvs [server aborted]: "commit" requires write
access to
the repository...

    Alex, what do u think?

    The latest XMLUtils does just that.

    Not sure I understand what you mean, but with latest XMLUtils & xml2php
and the xml file definitions I sent to Alex, the only thing one needs to
change is passwords in datasources.php. After that, even the query_example
works.

Hi Andris,

[cvs]

Hmm.. Did you set up the SSH stuff correctly? You can also use pserver with
sourceforge but thats readonly.

You're using windows right? There is a setup tool for sourceforge to set
everything up in windows + wincvs.

Try the following:

ssh -l usersfaccount cvs.binarycloud.sourceforge.net

type in your password

Does this work?

Important to cvs is, to have CVS recognize the ssh method.
export CVS_RSH=ssh (bash)

If you're under cygwin the ssh for cygwin does not work with wincvs.

Cool. Alex, did you do a sync ?

So does it work if you have more than one entry in your datasources.xml.php?

With only _one_ record in the source xml.php file:

<datasources>
  <datasource>
    <name>value</includepath>
    <database>value</database>
  </datasource>
</datasources>

The generated php looks like:

$QueryManager->datasources = array(
  'datasources' => array(
        name => value,
        database => value
    ),
);

If I put another "datasource" to the xml.php file...

<datasources>
  <datasource>
    <name>value</includepath>
    <database>value</database>
  </datasource>
  <datasource>
    <name>value2</includepath>
    <database>value2</database>
  </datasource>
</datasources>

.. i get this:

$QueryManager->datasources = array(
    array(
        name => value,
        database => value
    ),
    array(
        name => value2,
        database => value2
    ),
...
);

And that's exactly what we have in langs.php and going to have in queries,
and to be in sync also with datasources (I've already modded querymanager to
support this and will commit if everything works fine with your latest xml
stuff).

So xml2php behaves right if at least 2 datasources, langs, queries etc are
defined.

We're going to have to use BC_PATH_HTDOCS to do the include from now on.

But that's set in user constants, so all should be well :)

??? I thought the user constants are loaded with the init process, init
reqires BC_PATH and init is importet by import() that is provided by
./prepend.php. So how should BC_PATH_HTDOCS work without init. Or am i
missing something?

you aren't, we can set it earlier.
I think that we'll end up doing something like
include_once(BC_PATH."user/conf/prepend.php") or something, so we don't have
to do anything special.

prepend was put into htdocs by default, no by design, and I would prefer to
move it out entirely.
