Hey all,
Trying to write an open source application with OpenBD that is very
simple to deploy. A lot of opensource applications I use in php like
YOURLS or Joomla! usually have a simple configuration.php file that
you can open with a text editor to modify the variables. To me this
seems clean and easy for most users to do. I would like to emulate
this behavior in my app, but I don't want users to have to touch the
application.cfc.
How would you guys do this? Below is my first attempt that works,
however, I don't know if there is a cleaner way or a way that doesn't
require an application restart.
//** Start Code in Application.cfc **//
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" returnType="boolean"
output="false">
<!--- define default settings --->
<cfset application.defaults= {
setting1="notOverwritten",
setting2="notOverwritten",
setting3="notOverwritten",
setting4="notOverwritten"
} />
<!--- grab user settings --->
<cfinclude template="settings.cfm" />
<cfreturn true >
</cffunction>
//** End Code Application.cfc **//
//** Start Code in Settings.cfm **//
<cfscript>
structAppend(application.settings, {
/*Change settings below this line*/
setting1: 'setting1', /* true */
setting2: 'setting2', /* 'big' */
setting3: 'setting3' /* 10 */
});
</cfscript>
//** End Code Settings.cfm **//
