Hi Leandro, If you use Config::General style configuration files, search for "include" string in the POD documentation of Config::General module and you will find the syntax used for including another config file.
For example, if you want to include the file external.conf in a certain place in another configuration file, you can use: <<include external.conf>> Octavian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leandro Hermida" <soft...@leandrohermida.com> To: "The elegant MVC web framework" <catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk> Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [Catalyst] Working with project configuration file outsideofCatalyst directory Hi Octavian, Thank you for the information, I am a bit confused how to implement it though, what do you mean "include that configuration file in both the master configuration and Catalyst configuration files"? Suppose I have my master project directory: myproject/ lib/ ... other dirs... myproject.conf web/ <---- Catalyst application directory inc/ lib/ myproject_web.conf script/ t/ In myproject.conf I would have the database connection info amongst other configuration used by the overall project: <DB> schema_class ... <connect_info> dsn ... username ... password ... AutoCommit 1 </connect_info> </DB> In the Catalyst configuration myproject_web.conf I would have things specific to Catalyst: name MyApp::Web default_view HTML .... How would I have Catalyst be able to include the configuration automatically from myproject.conf outside the Catalyst app dir? best, Leandro On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 7:25 PM, Octavian Rasnita <orasn...@gmail.com> wrote: > There may be other ways, but you could create a separate configuration file > that contains the database connection settings only and include that > configuration file in both the master configuration and Catalyst > configuration files. > If you'll want to change the database connection settings, you will need to > change it in a single place. > > Octavian > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Leandro Hermida" <soft...@leandrohermida.com> > To: "The elegant MVC web framework" <catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk> > Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 7:49 PM > Subject: [Catalyst] Working with project configuration file outside > ofCatalyst directory > > >> Dear all, >> >> My apologies if I haven't seen the post with the answer, I've looked >> all over and get explanations for not exactly the same thing.
