Package: webcalendar
Version: 0.9.45-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I want to share a single webcalendar installation across multiple sites
hosted on my server. The way settings.php is used in the stock code,
this is not possible. And oddly, settings.php has PHP tags but is not
parseable as a PHP file. If it were, it would be possible to make the
settings file figure out which site's database connection information
to use.
Of course, changing the interpretation of settings.php to be a proper PHP
file would break existing configurations. My solution is to interpret
an existing settings.php file in the old non-PHP way, but if that file
is not there then use the PHP require() mechanism to interpret the file,
and rely on the include path to find it.
