Summary	389: file layout redesign, step 3
Description	Scope of step 3: 3.1. Merge contents of all root *.php files in a library, and leave index.php the only file in "wwwroot". The final file must be shortest possible. 3.2. Make it possible to read configuration from a custom directory outside of "wwwroot". 3.3. Make it possible to serve all static content through index.php, in case it is located outside of "wwwroot". However, leave the possibility to have this content served directly by HTTP server.
Additional Information	Implementation notes on 3.1 and 3.2. This desired single entry point would look like: --- $racktables_mode = 'interface'; $racktables_confdir = '/directory/of/secret.php/'; require_once '/path/to/init.php'; --- --- require_once '/path/to/init.php'; run_http ('/path/to/secret.php'); --- --- require_once 'inc/init.php'; // relative path shouldn't make any problems run_http(); // path to secret.php is derived from the cached and decoded path to init.php --- Such bootstrap simplifies running multiple instances of the software from the same installation. The entry point will detect its "mode of operation" and dispatch the request respectively: "interface" (default) -- runInterface() // index.php "redirect" -- runRedirect() // process.php "image" -- runImage() // render_image.php "install" -- runInstaller() // install.php "install-text" -- idem, with text/plain output "upgrade" -- runUpgrader() // upgrade.php "upgrade-text" -- idem, with text/plain output "download" -- runDownload() // download.php "popup" -- runPopup() // popup.php "ajax" -- runAJAX() // ajax.php "script" -- initialize only // $script_mode == TRUE "chrome" -- optional static content proxy instead of direct HTTP requests
Tags	No tags attached.

infrastation 2011-02-24 18:16 administrator ~0000275	Additional note on 3.2 WRT gateways. The respective code is antiquated, hence in scope of this work it is OK to take care only of the following files: deviceconfig/switch.secrets.php switchvlans/cisco.secrets.php (probably merging with the above) switchvlans/vlandecoder switchvlans/vlantable This stand for: 1. Adding an extra parameter to each of 7 "*.connector" files to tell the location of secrets file. 2. Idem for 2 "main" files. 3. Once the "racktables_confdir" parameter is introduced into the codebase, always pass it from inc/gateways.php to respective "main" dispatcher.

infrastation 2011-03-03 19:04 administrator ~0000291	Done: "image", "download", "chrome" ("tsuri").

infrastation 2011-03-05 16:57 administrator ~0000296	Done: "ajax", "redirect", "interface", "popup".

infrastation 2011-03-07 11:11 administrator ~0000297	3.3 -- done, but without direct access to files (all requests always come through the proxy)

infrastation 2011-03-10 08:08 administrator ~0000299	3.1 -- done

infrastation 2011-03-10 10:15 administrator ~0000300	3.2 -- done Closing, the rest will be completed in scope of the next rounds.
