Gregarius - Devlog

A new document describing what you should do if you wish to password-protect the Administration section of your Gregarius installation is available here.

GUI based configuration editing is implemented. I’m toying around and testing it before I make a file release, but, if you’re brave enough, you can get get a glimpse preview via the holy cvs.

If you’re upgrading from a previous version make sure you import the db schema for the config table, as well as the default config keys, or things might look a bit dull <g>

I’ve committed some preliminary code to cvs that basically replaces the current define() based configuration with a snappy database backed configuration

The table schema goes like this

CREATE TABLE `config` (
  `key_` varchar(127) NOT NULL default '',
  `value_` text NOT NULL,
  `default_` text NOT NULL,
  `type_` enum('string','num','boolean','array','enum') NOT NULL default 'string',
  `desc_` text,
  `export_` varchar(127) default NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY  (`key_`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

The array type is pretty nice as it allows to store complex structures like multi-dimensional arrays which are un-serialized when they leave the database, and will, hopefully, be serialized back to the db one day

Speaking of which, stay tuned for the next obvious step: gui-based configuration editing

Oh, I also upgraded to the latest MagpieRSS (0.71.1) and kses (0.2.2)
