[Phpwiki-talk] RFC: allow "wiki" to specify location of config.ini

[Charles C. <ch...@ru...>]

I would like the wiki file to specify the location of config.ini.  This
would allow me to use the clean versions of PhpWiki from CVS without
a) having to remember to copy config.ini into the CVS controlled directory
each time I get a fresh version (Eclipse deletes my private version of
config.ini when I request a refresh from CVS
b) when I get CVS-write access, I will not accidentally checkin my private
version of config.ini with passwords

I think that this facility might also be useful for wikifarms (but others
will know better)

Patch:
index.php - line 36 - replace
IniConfig(dirname(__FILE__)."/config/config.ini");

with
if (defined('CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION')) {
	IniConfig(CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION);
} else {
	IniConfig(dirname(__FILE__)."/config/config.ini");
}


wiki - line 19 - insert

The default location for config.ini is in phpwiki\config\config.ini
To define an alternate location for config.ini, insert the following
define before 'include "index.php";' and change the path to your required
location
define('CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION', 'C:\doc_root\config.ini');


If this change is accepted, will need to track down any other places in
the code base that refer to config.ini (mostly it is documentation).
