Re: [OpenBD] Weird mapping issue

[Alan Holden]

Sometimes it bothers me when I ask a technical question, and instead of getting a technical answer, I get something like "Why are you doing it like X? Just do Y instead!" Having said that, I shall now practice this very irritant myself: I'm not a huge fan of mappings, and have yet to encounter a situation where they are the only possible solution to a programming dilemma. It seems the intention is to account for different environments - with different storage paths... But I have (ini) settings files and application-scope parameters to address that, and it just seems easier for others and myself to maintain code - that plainly states when /#somethingLikeThis#/ is a variable, as opposed to /www/somethingLikeThis/. It's kinda like those darn virtual directories and sys-links to me: Using them for anything but the last resort makes me feel dirty, and I curse the developer before me who used them abundantly - without noting so somewhere. Grrr. Thanks. I feel better. Now @Jason, if you can post a self-contained package of code that worked on an older version - I'll try it on some of my different systems here for you!
