config
It’s important that you read this page and don’t just assume it’s okay to make changes to inc/config.php; it’s not. inc/config.php is used only to hold default values. It’s updated very frequently, so placing your local configuration there would make upgrading a very complicated process.
Instead, edit inc/instance-config.php.
Tinyboard is made up of multiple configuration files:
-
inc/config.php— These are the defaults. Do not edit this file or you will have a very hard time upgrading in the future. -
inc/instance-config.php— Make all your site-wide changes here. This file is generated upon installation. -
<board>/config.php— Optional board-specific configuration files can also be made. These files don’t exist by default.
The syntax for inc/instance-config.php and <board>/config.php is exactly the same to that of inc/config.php. You can copy lines from config.php and place them in either one of these config files. That is what config.php is for.
The configuration variable ($config) is just one huge associative array, occasionally split into “sections”.
It’s important to understand how the configuration files work to get the most out of Tinyboard.
-
inc/config.php—$configis reset with the defaults. -
inc/instance-config.php— Some$configvalues are overwritten or changed. -
<board>/config.php— If it exists, some more$configvalues are overwritten.
The comments in inc/config.php are probably the greatest source of documentation. It is filled with descriptions for specific config variables as well as examples, for you to copy into inc/instance-config.php and modify.
