Objectives

Maintain and document configuration of the next generation WormBase website.

  • clean
  • easy to maintain
  • load different variables between dev and live (environment differences in configuration)

To Do:


  • separate configuration from data initialization
    • current wormbase.conf (Config::General) file contains model info which can get complex and may be difficult to put in .ini format.
    • separate the config data (mostly db connections) into an .ini file.

Resources

Part 2: On Configuration (key,pdf) -- Configuration basics (and freebies)


The configuration file for the application can be found in the mercurial repository "wormbase" at the root level. It is called "wormbase.conf".

  • pages are added here (as actions)


The templating system Template Toolkit also contains separate configuration related specifically to data presentation.
