TOPIC: params.ini
#5152
params.ini 13 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi Edwin

We are currently using the template that you setup to build sites. I am now having an issue where I install a new template on a slave and set the params. I get a file written called params_<site_id>.ini

The problem is the site is writing the changes to the params_<site_id>.ini but the site is reading the params.ini

Any help?

Perhaps you are using a templates that hack the reading of the params.ini file.
This is the case of RocketThemes gantry framework.
So if you are using such kind of templates, this is normal.
Perhaps you have to report that to the author of the template.

If you are reusing using the same configuration for all the slave sites, there is a workaround.

Look at the RocketTheme template's html and you will see that very near the top of the document the default variables for the site configuration are declared. If a 'params' file exists, those values override the default. If not, the default is used.

Simply, change the default settings to match those that appear in the params file. Save the template and put a copy in templates folder of the master.

Cheers!

No, this is a Joomlashack template and the default params.ini is being used.

Code:

<?php
// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted index access' );
define( 'YOURBASEPATH', dirname(__FILE__) );
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" >
<head>
<jdoc:include type="head" />
<?php
$affiliate = $this->params->get( 'affiliate', "" );
$HeaderScr = $this->params->get( 'headerscript',"" );
$FooterScr = $this->params->get( 'footerscript', "" );
$cPanel       = ($this->params->get("cPanel", 1)  == 0)?"false":"true";
$cPanelheight     = $this->params->get("cPanelheight", "100");
$cPanelSpeed      = $this->params->get("cPanelSpeed", "200");
$cPanelText       = $this->params->get("cPanelText", "Bulletin");
$user456suffix    = $this->params->get("user456suffix", "S5");
$user345suffix   = $this->params->get("user345suffix", "S4");
$color     = $this->params->get("color", "blue");

If (as you say) this is a standard params.ini file then it should be read by the source /librariies/joomla/document/html/jhtml.php file where a JMS Multisites patch proceed to the reading of the correct params.ini file depending on the site ID.

Search the function render()

So debug this html source to check that it reads the correct params.ini file.
I suspect that another extension (or plugin) read the params.ini file and that is not the standard joomla peace of code.

Hi,
I'v got the same problem. I don't use a Rocketemplate but a self made one where I put the colorswitch code in from the rhuk_milkyway template.
So when I alter my colors in the administration of the template, the params.ini doesn't get overwritten, but a new one with the site id is made: params_{site_id}.ini
I located the html.php with the JMS2Win alteration, but when I set everything to just params.ini, there's still a new one made...

Cheers,
Guy
