[Phpwebsite-developers] Date and Time and swearing

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Greetings,

First a short unpleasantness. I write to this list for opinions. Recently,
I haven't really heard many. Not to be harsh, but if I don't receive
feedback from this channel, I will start asking just the hometeam
developers.

Realize I appreciate people's input. In fact, had it not been for this
forum, we might not have sequencial numbering yet.

Anyway, I am thinking of how to rid ourselves of the core_settings table.
That way, when we perform a core update, it never has to worry about the
database.

I was thinking there should be a date time format file like the language
files. Basically there would be a file named after the abbreviation (ie
en.php for English, es.php for Spanish). This file would contain the time
and date format for that language. phpWS would ship with a default.php for
all languages that do not contain a date/time file.

These files could not be with language module as they work independantly
from it.

Along these lines, there are core_settings for censoring and allowed tags.
I think these should be put into a file as well.

These do not have to be php files either. We could make them text format
so textpad could edit them.

Let me know what you guys/gals think and whether you prefer core_settings
to remain in a table.

Matt
