View source for Using multiple applications from single atk directory

{{howto|Easy|[[Olav B. Lygre]] <soppel@lygre.no>}}

The following procedure is used where multiple ATK applications are on the same domain.
For multiple domains, use symbolic links (*NIX) or junctions (Windows), which is not covered here.

To make multiple atk applications share a common atk directory, there are a couple of steps to take:

# Remove the line $config_atkroot="/." in the files: app.php, top.php, index.php, welcome.php, menu.php etc. These files include atk.inc, and the $config_atkroot will be set there.
# Edit atk.inc:
## Add a $config_application_dir="./"; before include_once(...)
## Change $config_atkroot="../common_code/" <br/>  This path must be relative to config_approot, and must be readable by your webserver and the users browser.

== Traditional Procedure ==
For ATK versions before 6.2.0, use the following procedure:
The following procedure is tested on atk 5.6.0 and is used where multiple atk applications are on the same domain.
For multiple domains, use symbolic links (*NIX) or junctions (Windows), which is not covered here.

#Edit Initial.inc (in atk/include dir) (also edit when updating to a new version of atk):
##Change $config_atkroot to $config_approot in include_once($config_atkroot."config.inc.php");
##Move same line (include_once($config_approot."config.inc.php")) before '// Auto-register modules' so it read your app modules from the right place
#Edit config.inc.php:<br/>Make sure a $config_module_path = $config_appdir."modules/"; is present
#Default you use a atktmp dir in your $config_atkroot dir.<br/>If your want temp files in your app path add the following to your config.inc.php:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
  $config_atktempdir = $config_approot."atktmp/";
  $config_tplroot = $config_approot;
  $config_tplcompiledir = $config_atktempdir."compiled/tpl/";
  $config_tplcachedir = $config_atktempdir."tplcache/";
</syntaxhighlight>
