[phpslash-users] bulletproof config.php3

[tobozo <to...@io...>]

Hi phpslashers

I got some feedback from other wannabee-phpslashers that became
phpnukers but came back to phpslash after they used the special
config.php3 I posted here :
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=10566&atid=310566

The config.php3 is the main reason why beginners would
not succeed installing phpslash : it is too complicate
to handle phplib AND phpslash together for a first
install.

This config.php3 will work only if the .class files
are moved in the phplib folder ($classdir = $_PHPLIB
["libdir"]) which is less confusing.

This config.php3 file only requires to specify
database settings and it handles multiple templates as
well.

[optional]
The skin name is stored in the cookie, the extra
templates must be in a folder named
"templates.your_skin_name", the images in a folder
named "images.your_skin_name".
A simple call in the url ?skin=your_skin_name and the
work is done !
[/optional]

Thing to do before you use it :

-Make a duplicate of your templates and images
folders :

cd < your $rootdir >
cp images images.default
cp templates templates.default

-move the class files in the phplib folder :

mv *.class < $_PHPLIB["libdir"] >

-make a backup of your config file :

cp config.php3 config.bak.php3

-update your config.php3 with the new code available
here (dont forget to update the database settings)  :

id=5110&aid=414570

it's ready !
