Cascade Configuration

Config

eQual is a highly flexible, variable-geometry framework, designed to be used in a wide variety of contexts.

A lot of features can be controlled using the main configuration file for setting parameters, that are handled as constants.

The config constants are present globally inside the config/config.json file.

Some constants can be overridden in optional package specific config files.

When an operation is invoked, the system checks if a config file is defined in the targeted package. If so, constants from that file override the ones from the general config file.

Every overridden constant is limited to the package it belongs to.

If they are used by a controller, they must be listed by it. If there is an error, the system displays Error 500.

The constants are checked by the announce() function inside eq.lib.php.
