Thanks for your answers!
I started with the idea of a YAML file because it was easy to manage and
already used by SolR configuration, but it was maybe not a good choice.
The technical choice for facet configuration must be safe, and avoid the
need for libraries to change the configuration of groups or users on
their servers.
And I am not fond of the idea of 1 or 2 sysprefs (unimarc/marc21) with a
big block of YAML data inside. Not user friendly, and risky (oups, I
forgot a space...)
So from what I read, I see 2 solutions :
- forgetting YAML and putting the configuration in a small new sql table.
- putting YAML in a syspref, but not modifying it directly, but through
a user friendly form on a specific page. I have never seen that in Koha,
so I don't know if it will complies to the coding rules...

Greetings,
Chown the files: 664, and make the group www-data (or whatever group
the script will end up running as). 666 is just evil. Pun intended.
Though, limiting exposure of an entire configuration file by only
modifying a single system preference is clearly a more secure idea.

Subject: [Koha-devel] writing a file on server from staff interface
Hi
for my patch about facets, I currently have 2 problems :
1- how to put the file in /etc/ of installation directory (in discussion)
2- how to allow the perl script (from staff interface) to write or
rewrite the yaml configuration file if a librarian decides to change
some settings.
If I do nothing special, YAML::DumpFile fails to (re)write the file,
because - I suppose - the apache user does not have rights to access
the server.
So, for the moment, the only way I found to make my config file editable
is "chmod 666".
But I suppose it is not very safe...
Do you know if there is a safer way to do that? How is managed for
example for SolR configuration files?
Regards
Mathieu
