Ticket #1382 (assigned)

Can't use external ADODB / Smarty

Priority: normal Reporter: johnpye
Severity: feature Assigned to: mugur (accepted)
Component: Install Scripts Status: assigned
Version: none Resolution:  
Milestone: 2.6.0 Keywords:  

Description by johnpye:

Campsite comes bundled with its own versions of [ADODB] and [Smarty]. I wonder if it would be desirable to allow campsite to be installed such that it uses an already-installed instance of either of these. It would be a matter of adding another configuration setting.

In the case of an RPM-based build, it would allow ADODB and/or Smarty to be upgraded, for example in the case of a security update, easily and without requiring the campsite installer to be started up.

The line of code which prevents this from working is in require_once($g_documentRoot.'/include/adodb/adodb.inc.php');

It would need to change to require_once('adodb/adodb.inc.php');

and a corresponding change made to the php.ini or httpd.conf file made.

    Upgrading a package in this way could break the application itself if the API changes. It might be better for us to issue a patch if there are any security vulnerabilities.

    This should be a configuration option, to use the installed libraries or use the ones that come bundled with Campsite.
