Damien Pobel	Tuesday 13 June 2006 12:58:28 am For several project I need to store specific settings. I use my own section in ini files : [MySection] NewsByPage=10 Help[news]=you should do this Help[forum]=you should do that it works well with single values and array with textual keys but when I use numeric keys in array, my settings are corrupted. Example : I write this [MySection] NewsID[163]=189 NewsID[192]=202 and after some use, eZ publish rewrites my config like that : [MySection] NewsID[]=189 NewsID[]=202 Is it normal or a bug ?

Kristof Coomans	Tuesday 13 June 2006 1:13:54 am Hi Damien This is normal. I would recommend you to use some kind of prefix for your keys: [MySection] NewsID[blabla_163]=189 NewsID[blabla_192]=202 Of course, replace "blabla" with something meaningful ;-) independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Damien Pobel	Tuesday 13 June 2006 2:10:02 am thanks for the quick answer ! I tried another solution that seems to work properly, I create my own ini file where I put my custom settings. It seems that eZ publish doesn't rewrite this custom file, so my settings aren't corrupted.

For several project I need to store specific settings. I use my own section in ini files :

[MySection]
NewsByPage=10
Help[news]=you should do this
Help[forum]=you should do that

it works well with single values and array with textual keys but when I use numeric keys in array, my settings are corrupted.

Example :
I write this

[MySection]
NewsID[163]=189
NewsID[192]=202

and after some use, eZ publish rewrites my config like that :

[MySection]
NewsID[]=189
NewsID[]=202

Is it normal or a bug ?

Hi Damien

This is normal. I would recommend you to use some kind of prefix for your keys:

[MySection]
NewsID[blabla_163]=189
NewsID[blabla_192]=202

Of course, replace "blabla" with something meaningful ;-)

thanks for the quick answer !

I tried another solution that seems to work properly, I create my own ini file where I put my custom settings. It seems that eZ publish doesn't rewrite this custom file, so my settings aren't corrupted.
