As of symfony 1.3, the configuration files no longer contain a reference to the possible configuration options in the form of commented out lines of the defaults and their explanation. I am well aware of the symfony reference book, however I strongly believe the old approach was better.
For starters, with the old approach I didn't need to open a browser, find the book, search for that particular config file and finally find the option I need. This is very time-taking and frustrating compared to the work-flow with 1.2. What, are we supposed to remember every configuration option by heart now? And what about the people who just start with symfony, or are joining a project already in progress? How are they supposed to figure this out? Read the definitive guide, find the reference to the reference book (pun intended) and all that when all the info they needed could've been left in the very same configuration file? What was the reason for removing this information? It can't be to speed up the parsing as these files are cached anyways. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
