Updating timetrex.ini.php-linux in the [database] section

Post by mrworldcup »

Hello,

What are your thoughts on the timetrex.ini.php-example_linux default file to provide just a little bit more details in the database section? This may improve the user experiance a little bit.

That section currently reads:

Code: Select all

38 ; Database connection settings. These can be set from the installer.
39 [database]
40 ;type = mysqlt
41 ;type = postgres8
Here's a suggestion that would have helped me in reading this section and mentally processing the language. Perhaps maybe something like this will be helpful:

Code: Select all

; Database connection settings. 
; NOTE: You will have the option of also setting the database type selection when running the web-based installer as well. Also, the installer will attempt to recommend the database type that may work best in your environment. 
[database]
;type = mysqli
;type = mysqlt
;type = postgres8
Or something to that effect.

I hope this post helps. It would have helped me. I was worried that if i made the wrong choice in the timetrex.ini.php, it would be 'set in stone'! Also, I forgot the web-based installer provides useful options and tips like "Legacy Driver - NOT SUPPORTED, use MYSQLi instead!" that just can't be achieved from a text file that which may not know about the current environment : )

Thanks!
