PATH_INFO theme option [message #31935]

The latest development release has a line of code in index.php to remove the FUD_OPT_2 flag for PATH_INFO support which means things like draw_pager don't use PATH_INFO style URLs. The line of code is turned off by a theme option flag, but I see no interface for that (well, SQL doesn't count). Perhaps my adm tools are out of date? I don't know.. As much as I have taught myself about the innerworkings of FUDforum, I still don't know how whether the adm tools are generated (and where from).

Thanks for any help, or if this really is a missing interface then for moving it to the bug report category Very Happy

Can you tell me what line or show the code block you are referring to?

The spot I am refering to is users.inc.t@641:

	/* this should allow path_info & normal themes to work properly within 1 forum */
	if ($o2 & 32768 && !($u->theme_opt & 4)) {
		$o2 ^= 32768;
	}

This block of code masks out the PATH_INFO flag for the rest of the code. I checked against the CVS admin panel, there is no checkbox for this theme option. This seems to be a magic flag brought on by the theme being named both 'path_info' and having the '.path_info' file. I think this should be reduced to just having the '.path_info' file, as this would make the most sense (and not some checkbox a person has to check). theme.inc has several things to say on this.

theme.inc@40:fud_theme::add():

		if ($this->theme == 'path_info') {
			$this->theme_opt |= 4;
		}

theme.inc@72:fud_theme::sync():

		if ($this->theme == 'path_info' || @file_exists($GLOBALS['DATA_DIR'].'thm/'.$this->theme.'/.path_info')) {
			$this->theme_opt |= 4;
		}

I would prefer both of those be:

		if(@file_exists($GLOBALS['DATA_DIR'].'thm/'.$this->theme.'/.path_info')) {
			$this->theme_opt |= 4;
		}

Which would then use the '.path_info' as the magic switch.

The code was improved to include the magic file check on theme creation as well. The reason we do both name and magic file check is to try to avoid a file system call when the "base" path_info theme is being used (very common situation).

Ah ok sorry, I glazed over it being an || and not a &&. Thanks for looking into it.
