[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).

regards,
Charles

config/config.ini is NOT in CVS. On purpose!

So don't cvs add config/config.ini
You can safely commit, cvs will touch only files which are in the 
CVS/Entries file. config/config.ini is not.

Sounds like you need to teach eclipse not to be so brain-fuckingly stupid.=

That really is idiotic behaviour -- people keep all sorts of crap lying
around in their CVS working copies.  Blowing it all away every time you run
update would get real old, real fast.

So don't cvs add config/config.ini.  That's a fairly long and specific
string of random characters for your cat to produce while walking on your
keyboard.

Heu .....

Why don't you add a .cvsignore file in co,fig/ directory ?
Just put
config.ini

in it, and cvs will ignore this file ...

RTFM ;)
