In regard to: [Puppet Users] Re: Apply multiple defines in sequence, Erwin...:
Thanks again for you reply, but it seems like you don't fully understand what I'm having problems with. So I'll try to clarify it a little more: 1. The current way of using two defines is working flawlessly. So I (at least partly) understand the concepts surrounding those. 2. Because I have two types of machines: some with just sugar and some with sugar and wordpress, I now use two defines that overlap in part (define1 contains all kinds of info about creating sugar db + unpacking tar, etc, while define2 contains all the sugar info of define1 + stuff about creating a wordpress db + unpacking wp tar, etc), this means editing two files when I change something in the sugar define.
So have one additional parameter to your define, sugar_with_wordpress => 'no' and then in the body of your define, after you've done all the necessary setup for sugar, that is always present, have if $sugar_with_wordpress == 'yes' { # wordpress-specific stuff here } I use yes/no strings instead of boolean true/false because you'll eventually want to have those settings come from hiera, and as things currently stand booleans from hiera are just a trap for the unwary. I would actually do the wordpress stuff as a separate class, which has its own wordpress::instance define, and then call that define from within your sugar::instance define.
