About attachment paths, themes paths, etc.

Hello,

My suggestion is simple, to have EVERY path of files just in configure files (in this case Settings.php). I was surprised, that it's held on MySQL after moving my forum, of course I can always do some "fixes" to be able to get access from both sides by creating some more directories until DNS'es of site refreshes, but it could be nice, if I don't have to modify it from MySQL/admin panel with broken graphics.
If somebody already suggested it, I'm so sorry for this post

have you seen What is repair_settings.php? which should take care of almost all those paths for you without actually needing to access the database.

and, on top of that... NO!    setting any variables in a file instead of the database (with the exception of the data needed to get to the database in the first place) is poor process. Settings should be stored in the database and read out as needed.

Ok, thank You Illori, this script do everything what I need.

To Kindred: I can't really understand why "setting any variables in a file is poor process". It's same way, just reading from another place. What if your database some how slow down? You will probably have to wait first for reading database, then you will see forum.. Or is it in another way?

Because you're polluting the global space and taking up memory for something that may not be needed.

If the database is slow, you'll still have speed problems no matter where certain settings are stored.
