[VuFind-General] Questions on config.ini

[Katharina W. <wol...@fh...>]

Hi again,

now I've understood the principal of inheritance and overwriting, I'm looking
for ways to use this technique where ever possible. ;-)

After some reading I discovered the line

local_overrides = config.local.ini

in /usr/local/vufind/web/conf/config.ini - and I'm pleased I've found it.

I'd like to suggest putting this option at the beginning of the config.ini-file,
because it would save people (like me) from adapting the config.ini part for
part and then finding this option towards the end of the file. ;-(

Is the name config.local.ini changeable or "hardcoded" somewhere?

In the vicinity of the line mentioned above, there are another few .ini-files
configured (e.g facets = facets.ini).
Can I use the same technique for theme-inheritance with those config-files (i.e.
list my own version's name first and after that the original .ini-file-name) or
can I at least duplicate an .ini-file I'd like to adapt and put the name of the
adapted file into the config.local.ini?

Lastly, are there any naming-conventions I should heed when making my own file-,
class- or method-names etc?

In the documentation I only found hits concerning vufind 2.0...

Greetings
Katharina
