 Based on the example, I assume you mean .php files with valid php code and
 that do appropriate assignments to $CFG.  Is it possible to break moodle?

Yes. All moodle configuration is done in PHP code. If invalid, you
break moodle.

 Does this run at each startup or only once?  How does it interact with
 changes done through the admin interface?

These are read on every HTTP request, and override changes done via
admin interface. IOWs you can use it to lockdown values.

[Server-devel] Moodle langpack and configuration trick

2010-04-13 Thread Martin Langhoff
Hi list,

Working iwth the La Rioja team, I rolled a new moodle-xs RPM that can
pick $CFG overrides from files dropped in /etc/moodle/conf.d/ .

Right now we're using it here to install a langpack and set it as
default. But it can naturally be used for other advanced configs
without messing with the config.php  that ships with Moodle rpm.

The full trick is here
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Techniques_and_Configuration#Example:_Install_and_configure_Moodle_language_pack

And yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update will bring down this new
Moodle (nothing else new in it really).

cheers,
