Re: [Catalyst] Working with project configuration file outsideofCatalyst directory
Hi Leandro, If you use Config::General style configuration files, search for include string in the POD documentation of Config::General module and you will find the syntax used for including another config file. For example, if you want to include the file external.conf in a certain place in another configuration file, you can use: include external.conf Octavian - Original Message - From: Leandro Hermida soft...@leandrohermida.com To: The elegant MVC web framework catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [Catalyst] Working with project configuration file outsideofCatalyst directory Hi Octavian, Thank you for the information, I am a bit confused how to implement it though, what do you mean include that configuration file in both the master configuration and Catalyst configuration files?

Re: [Catalyst] Working with project configuration file outsideofCatalyst directory
Hi there, Thank you I did not see that! For others it is here: http://search.cpan.org/~tlinden/Config-General-2.49/General.pm#INCLUDES Which brings the second question, now that one includes this configuration from the parent project, e.g. the database connection info, how will the Catalyst model for this DB properly pick it up? Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema expects to find it in tags starting with Model e.g. Model::DB and it won't be like this for the parent configuration. Is there a way for Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema to read from a different config section? best, Leandro On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 9:20 PM, Octavian Rasnita orasn...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Leandro, If you use Config::General style configuration files, search for include string in the POD documentation of Config::General module and you will find the syntax used for including another config file.

Re: [Catalyst] Working with project configuration file outsideofCatalyst directory
Hello, Yes I'm working on the same thing at the moment, since I need the configuration file to be used with different applications I use yaml config file because yaml is global Then you can place your configuration file anywhere and from your main project module Project.pm add the following before __PACKAGE__-setup(); __PACKAGE__-config( 'config_file' = [ /new/path/location/Project.yml'] ); You need to delete configuration file from the home directory as this will not work if the original config file still in the home directory of the project, this what I've learned after trials and errors :) hope I'm right, please try ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
