Well i'm not saying there is a burning need for it right now .. the only situation where i have 2 different backends is on my development box, where i have default (== sample xml file stuff) and partuza (== db driven one).

However there is a need to be able to have a seperate 'local config file' that lives outside of SVN, so it doesn't svn refuse to download the new config file (possibly with new keys) when people svn update ... because config.php has local modifications. So a second outside-of-svn config file would solve this.

When i was working on that, i thought 'why not do it right, and make this really configurable', ie not just one seperate local config file, but a file per container ... would be better from the flexibility perspective.

For now i'll just finish the local config file idea, and make sure it's prepared for eventually being used for a per container config.

Ps, it would have just been more consistent with how the javascript configuration works, so would've made a logical way to go

hmm, is good, but will be a stuff for the a "generic" shindig that many
containers will use?

something like what gmodules.com was in th beginning for the gadget stuff?

are there any *real* needs for that yet?

but saying this, is just adding one param in the iframe url. and you can
always set a default=container to keep backwards compatibility...

my 2 cents

I was wondering if it would be ok to add a &container=foo param to the
social requests.

I've been working on restructuring the configuration system for PHP
shindig, and one of my goals is to make a per-container server config (as is
already possible for the javascript configuration in
shindig/config/<container>.js).

I would like to mimic the same kind of setup in PHP, and load the default + container specific config for each social data request, so that the data services etc are also configurable per container.. that way you can truly
have one shindig instance do it's thing for multiple social sites.

Now my initial thought was to use the security token for this (the domain key), however there's a catch 22 in that, and that is that the token decoder is also a configurable class ... so it's not available before the config is
loaded, and hence the catch 22 :)

So either i have to let go of my plan to make a per-container config for
php shindig, or add the un-encoded container param to the requests.

What do you guys reckon?
