Why having only the acl file outside conf/ and not the whole conf/
outside the dokuwiki root? I think this has already been done (in
the Debian packaging world?).
[...]
That said, I was considering that the acl information is directly
associated with the pages,namespaces and users of the wiki data that
change daily rather than config of the dokuwiki engine which changes
only occasionally, and particularly with a new release. If I was using
plain auth I'd probably want to give auth.users.php the same treatment.
I would _love_ to see the name and path of the ACL file as a
configurable option.
`acl.auth.php' is a file that depends on the contents of the wiki as
most entries will refer to a page or a namespace, whereas most other
files in conf/ are AFAIK independent of the content.
I have a setup where I only use one dokuwiki directory and many data
directories ("wiki farm"), and for this setup I had to replace all
occurrences of DOKU_CONF.'acl.auth.php' with $conf['aclfile']. Doing
this with `sed -i' is not a problem, but in my humble opinion,
hard-coding such filenames might not necessarily best practice anyway,
but since I am absolutely _not_ a PHP expert, that might be an
old-fashioned view :-)
Cheers,
Simon
