Hi list!
A few days back a patch of mine was pushed which flags all 'dangerous'
config options in the config manager. There are three categories:
* 'Danger' means, a newbie won't be able to change it back and will get
shut out or the site will get unusable.
* A 'warning' marks all changes which could cause unintended behaviour
and will probably not get noticed right away.
* And then there are the 'security warnings' which calls attention to
security risks.
I noticed not all of these options are properly documented on
dokuwiki.org. Could some of you please find the time to document at
least these 'dangerous' options and explain why they are 'dangerous' and
what else should be known about them?
I uploaded the same three icons to dokuwiki.org which are used to flag
these issues in the config manager, so you can use the following in each
of the config pages to ensure their recognition value:
{{:config:danger.png|danger}}
{{:config:warning.png|warning}}
{{:config:security.png|security}}
The options are:
_Danger_
* basedir
* baseurl
* savedir
* useacl
* authtype
* superuser
* userewrite
_Warning_
* start
* camelcase
* deaccent
* sepchar
* compression
* xsendfile
* renderer_xhtml
_Security_
* allowdebug
* htmlok
* phpok
* iexssprotect
* xmlrpc
Thanks,
Anika
