I saw this somewhere so I won't claim credit, but this how I do it.
You just have to change one value in core.php after implementing this
system. Since Configure::read is usable from views too, you can set
paths for javascripts like lightbox or other application elements
without hunting for changes after each commit.
Don't define $default in database.php and put the following at the
bottom of database.php:
function __construct() {
switch(Configure::read('WebApp.mode')) {
case "mamp":
$this->default = $this->mamp;
$this->test = $this->test_mamp;
break;
case "devel":
case "linode":
$this->default = $this->devel;
$this->test = $this->test_devel;
break;
default:
case "production":
$this->default = $this->production;
$this->test = $this->test_production;
break;
} // end switch
} // end construct()
Next, in core.php add the following:
Configure::write('WebApp.mode', 'devel'); # 'devel', 'production',
'linode', 'mamp'
if(Configure::read('WebApp.mode') == 'production') { Configure::write
('debug', 0); }
