I think it is just big - but it easy for understand and there is easy to add land files]]> Za, 13 Feb 2010 02:47:14 -0000 Dr2005alex 2) The Seditio way in modulename.setup.php. Very convenient to edit and graphically.]]> Za, 13 Feb 2010 02:00:56 -0000 Trustmaster
I'm currently considering different formats of declaring the module configuration. The best format is:
  • easy to understand
  • easy to write
  • flexible to store different possible values

Please read these example of configuration options for forums module and tell which you like more and why. Or suggest your own.

1) The plain SQL way in modulename.sql:
INSERT INTO `sed_config` (`config_owner`, `config_cat`, `config_order`, `config_name`, `config_type`, `config_value`, `config_default`, `config_variants`, `config_text`) VALUES
('core','forums','01','disable_forums',3,'0','0','',''),
('core','forums','02','hideprivateforums',3,'0','0','',''),
('core','forums','03','hottopictrigger',2,'20','20','5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,50',''),
('core','forums','04','maxtopicsperpage',2,'30','30','5,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,100,200,500',''),
('core','forums','05','antibumpforums',3,'0','0','',''),
('core','forums','06','mergeforumposts',3,'1','1','',''),
('core','forums','07','mergetimeout',2,'0','0','0,1,2,3,6,12,24,36,48,72',''),
('core','forums','08','maxpostsperpage',2,'15','15','5,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,100,200,500','');

2) The Seditio way in modulename.setup.php:
/*
[COT_MODULE_CONFIG]
disable_forums=01:radio::0:
hideprivateforums=02:radio::0:
hottopictrigger=03:select:5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,50:20:
maxtopicsperpage=04:select:5,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,100,200,500:30:
antibumpforums=05:radio::0:
mergeforumposts=06:radio::1:
mergetimeout=07:select:0,1,2,3,6,12,24,36,48,72:0:
maxpostsperpage=08:select:5,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,100,200,500:15:
[/COT_MODULE_CONFIG]
*/

3) Verbose PHP arrays in modulename.setup.php:
$config_options = array(
	array(
		'name' => 'disable_forums',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_RADIO,
		'default' => '0'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'hideprivateforums',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_RADIO,
		'default' => '0'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'hottopictrigger',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_SELECT,
		'default' => '20',
		'variants' => '5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,50'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'maxtopicsperpage',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_SELECT,
		'default' => '30',
		'variants' => '5,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,100,200,500'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'antibumpforums',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_RADIO,
		'default' => '0'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'mergeforumposts',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_RADIO,
		'default' => '1'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'mergetimeout',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_SELECT,
		'default' => '0',
		'variants' => '0,1,2,3,6,12,24,36,48,72'
	),
	array(
		'name' => 'maxpostsperpage',
		'type' => COT_CONFIG_TYPE_SELECT,
		'default' => '15',
		'variants' => '5,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,100,200,500'
	)
);
