local conf directory (overriding default) ?

stefano.cecere

hi is it possible to put all my .conf files in a local directory. so that if they override the default /app/conf/ values? (to prevent diffs and merges when upgrading or staying ahead with git trunk) ?

seth

yes

thank you Seth

i was blind

define("CA_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIRECTORY", CA_CONF_DIR."/local");

(i did't find it in the wiki and i was looking for /local (like in Pawtucket) somewhere else)

I understand this is still valid and defined in /app/post-setup.conf, line 282-287:

if (!defined("__CA_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIRECTORY__")) {
	define("__CA_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIRECTORY__", __CA_APP_DIR__."/conf/local");
}
if (!defined("__CA_DEFAULT_THEME_CONFIG_DIRECTORY__")) {
	define("__CA_DEFAULT_THEME_CONFIG_DIRECTORY__", __CA_THEMES_DIR__."/".__CA_THEME__."/conf");
}

If I understand this well:

/app/conf/local in Pawtucket will work the same as in Providence: conf files in /app/conf/local/ will override the settings of those in /app/conf/.
however, do /themes/theme/conf/ files also override those at /app/conf/ and /app/conf/local/? I mean, the conf files in /themes/theme/conf/ are equivalent to those in /app/conf/ and /app/conf/local/?
is there a defined value such as CA_LOCAL_THEME_CONFIG_DIRECTORY to specify /themes/theme/conf/local/ as the local conf directory within the theme?

I'm a bit confused about this and I would like tol a mke sure I have the right setup in order to avoid new releases overriding local adjustments. I've found another entry on this topic dated 2015, but didn't quite clarify this to me.

Thank you.

carlosTF In Pawtucket the order of looking at .conf files is: app/conf then themes/default/conf then themes/your_theme/conf

You should have your own theme defined and do all development and configuration within this themes/your_theme space. Set the theme you are using in setup.php
