ATK Howto: Adding and using configuration settings
|
Adding a new configuration setting can be very useful, and in ATK its very easy. In config.inc.php, just add a line which sets the variable, e.g.:
$config_foo = 'bar';
The variable name must start with $config.
To retrieve variables, either ones you've added or existing ones, use the atkconfig() function and supply the name of the variable you want.
$my_foo = atkconfig("foo"); // now $my_foo = 'bar';
This would return the variable $config_foo from the config file. Arrays can also be handled in this way. The atkconfig() call can be used from within your module and attribute classes.
