siteframe.ini
Most of the core configuration for Siteframe Beaumont is performed through the siteframe.ini file. This is a text file in standard .INI file format that defines configuration variables for use by all the site software. There are several types of lines in the file:
- Comments begin with a semicolon and extend to the end of the line.
- Sections are indicated with [brackets] and must appear on a line by themselves.
- Blank lines are permitted and often used to make reading easier.
- Variable definitions in the form name=value. Name must be a standard PHP identifier. Value can be either a token without spaces or a long string surrounded by double quotes. Double quotes cannot appear in a value.
Here are some example lines from siteframe.ini:
[general]
; these are basic site configuration parameters
site_name = "Siteframe Beaumont"
site_url = http://broadpool.com/beaumont
site_path = "/beaumont"
site_tagline = ""
site_owner = "Your Name or Business"
site_copyright = "Copyright ©2005, Your Name or Business"
In this example, the [general] is a section line, site_url uses a single token, and site_name uses a quoted string.
siteframe.ini is not distributed with the product; it must be created by the site administrator before installing and setting up the site. The file siteframe.ini-dist is provided as an example; this should be copied to siteframe.ini and modified to suit the site's installation.
