Comment(by somerandomguy):
I understand that, and also I'm not asking for me - I've found my own way
around this problem - I'm just pointing out a slight issue that would make
your product better :-)
One way around this problem could be based on the assumption that a
developer who is happy to mess around with .htaccess files probably
doesn't mind getting his hands a bit dirty. So you keep your XML as the
default method (so no-one's currently installed versions break) but you
have a flag or parameter that can be set in the embed code (but doesn't
have to be) where the user can supply some sort of alternative.
What alternatives? Well there's lots of possibilities, here's a few (these
might not be pretty, they are just examples):
1) You could have an include file to a javascript array of all the
settings (ugly I know)
2) Your embed flag could just say "use generic" and the settings are
stored internally / all the defaults are used.
3) You could still pass in an xml file (file with a doctype 'XML') but
call it .php or .hamster or whatever suited the administrator.
4) You could just use a different but standard file type like a .ini or
.csv file.
5) ... I'm going to need something stronger than coffee to come up with
anything else off the top of my head :-P
In the end, it might be more effort than it's worth... but then you've got
the best product available, the only way to stay the best is to keep
pushing it.
