True, but it's redundant to store the same baseurl every time. Admins have to ride the line between what *should* happen, and what *will* happen. That debate should occur between the admin and the owner of the instance; not between the admin and the developer. Software that doesn't force/coerce administrative policy decisions will be more widely adopted than software that does. Nobody wants to break URIs. In fact, if the baseurl were not in the database at all, the same laconica instance could be accessible through two URLs (each with their own config.phps). Temporarily or indefinitely. Can you think of a reason why it's important to store that same data over and over as opposed to just reading some php or apache variable for hostname or path, or something from config.php? Is it important to *not* use the $config['site']['server'] = ''; and $config['site']['path'] = ''; variables that already exist in laconica's config.php? I think using them wherever possible would be the most appropriate thing to do. I do not think it would hurt anything. (Correct me if I'm wrong) And as a side effect, it would make life easier for people who must change the address of their microblog. Domain names are, after all, temporary. _______________________________________________ Laconica-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.laconi.ca/mailman/listinfo/laconica-dev
