Author Topic: Managing a config variable for an extension (Read 1062 times)

So for an extension, I need to be able to have different values for different site.
What's the preferred way of doing that (I don't need a UI)? I wanted to

Put in the civicrm.setting.php

Code: [Select]

global $civicrm_setting;
$civicrm_setting['eu.tttp.myextension']['color'] = "pink";

and use normally the $config = CRM_Core_Config::singleton()

(obviously, if the variable isn't set, default to a sane option).

Is this the best practice? You have something more future proof to suggest?

The direction I was trying was per

https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/org.civicrm.multisite/blob/master/multisite.civix.php

which then means you can set it using drush / api / setting.create

You'll see the setting is defined in a directory. Of course - I have backported various bits of 4.3 to our fuzion 4.2 so this wouldn't necessarily work on 4.2

Hi,

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC43/hook_civicrm_alterSettingsFolders

Ok, so you can change the setting folder, but what are you supposed to put in the new setting folder? How does it work? Do you have an example/how to how that's done?
