update civicrm.settings.php by upgrade version
April 14, 2011, 04:25:07 am
I have done a upgrade from version 3.2.1 to version 4.0, but the information in  http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/Upgrade+Drupal+Sites+to+4.0#UpgradeDrupalSitesto4.0-8.Updatethecivicrm.settings.phpfile is not complete.

missing part: define('CIVICRM_TRACK_CIVIMAIL_REPLIES', false);
untill define('CIVICRM_PETITION_CONTACTS','Petition Contacts');

Maybe it is better to include the complete file to the zip-file and ask the user to check for any changes.

WOW - that was quick!

I only just posted that on the wiki an hour or so ago!

I will edit the wiki post to include that variable too (if upgrading from 3.2).

The best option would probably be for CiviCRM to assume defaults for these items if not in the configuration file though?

And it would be good if the upgrade script also generated a default.civicrm.settings.php file that is placed in the sites/default or sites/<<url>> directory, so that you can diff the civicrm.settings.php and default.civicrm.settings.php to see what you are missing fairly quickly!

hey andrew:

wanna get one of your developers to check the upgrade script and do the needful. Should not be too hard since we already do this for an install. The main stumbling block would be to get the user to open up write permissions for the settings directory when running the upgrade (or it could be made optional via a checkbox)

In general the rule for adding a new setting is:

1. avoid adding a "user centric" setting. Use DB based, UI configured settings as needed

2. The default behavior should be what we currently do. Any tweaked behavior for a special case is done via an internal setting. Overall we should avoid adding new settings

Are any of these settings used in 3.4? The 3.4 documentation doesn't mention changes to settings, but I notice installing 3.4 creates a 'Petition Contacts' group.
