Override and SiteAccess ini problem

Thursday 03 April 2003 6:07:55 am

I have those inifiles :

settings/site.ini
settings/override/site.in.append.php
settings/siteaccess/site.in.append.php

I think those files should be read in that order but eZ read them on this order :

settings/site.ini
settings/siteaccess/site.in.append.php
settings/override/site.in.append.php

So my SiteAccess has no meaning!

I changed prependOverrideDir for appendOverrideDir on line 411 of /access.php $ini->appendOverrideDir( "siteaccess/$name" );

Is that the correct way to go or there is something I am missing?

You should not change the order like that, this will invalidate any upgrades of future eZ publish versions.

The order of .ini file reading is not a problem if you setup the files correctly. First off settings/override is always the last file to be read and will override any values from original .ini files and siteaccess.

Things to put in override is global settings that should be set for ALL siteaccesses and siteaccess matching rules. Placing the matching rules in a siteaccess won't work.

If you want a value to be set for most siteaccess except one you need to copy the values to all siteaccesses and modify it on the one that will differ.

Hi Vincent,

the site.ini comes with default values, that's true. But this file is also the one which should contain all your configuration. If you want a back up file, just make a copy before installing.

The override is actually as Jan said only a helper thing. For example, if you develop a site with CVS each developer could put an override to reflect local settings.

I rewrote the ezwiki page because some things changed when eZ publish 3.0 was released. Have a look at http://ezwiki.blanko.info/index.php/Configuration%20files%20and%20directories%20explained%20%283.x%29 again. This should explain now how it works.
