[geeklog-devel] Strange storage of strings (and other data) ingl_conf_values

[Blank, Jessica]

Danke. I still don't know how to create a root login though. How can I
do this? And what if I use remote authentication; how do I confer root
powers to a user authenticated via a remote system?

Jessica,

Look for the neat new link under Admins Only called Configuration.  From
there, you can change it all!

Thanks!
Mark

supposed to

And
	please don't say "public_html/siteconfig.php"; this file says,
right at
	the top, "You should not need to edit this file. See the
installation
	instructions for details".
	
	Said installation instructions still reference config.php, which
is no
	longer being used...
	
	So I have no idea where I'm SUPPOSED to change these settings,
if not by
	manually changing them in the database. :/

	gl_conf_values can store anything so everything is serialize'd
before
	storage[1]. You should not do any queries against
gl_conf_values. You
	should be using $_CONF['whatever'] to reference configuration
data like
	you do in 1.4.1.
