This page details the progress on development of ARK 2.0
Supported Platforms
- PHP: A minimum of v5.5 will be required (or maybe 5.6?), v7 will be supported.
Code Repository
Development of ARK 2.0 is occurring in the open on GitHub https://github.com/lparchaeology/ark2
Configuration
Significant changes to the configuration of ARK are being made to move from PHP file based configuration to database based configuration. This section will document these changes.
- The config/ folder will contain all user-editable php files required
- The php/settings/ folder will contain the generic settings files and templates for moving to config/. This allows upstream changes to be made to the templates and upgrades performed more easily.
- The env_settings.php file is replaced by database.php and server.php
- database.php contains the settings for the database connection
- server.php contains the settings for the server file paths
- To set-up an ARK, copy database.php, server.php and preflight_checks.php from php/settings to config/ and edit as required
- preflight_checks.php now defaults to off, so needs to be enabled before running, and then deleted form config afterwards
- settings.php has moved from config/ to php/settings/ and no longer requires user editing, all settings are now help in the database and should be configured per the instructions
Database
- Configuration has been moved to the database
- A new ADO class has been created to wrap all access to PDO
Changes
Other significant changes are documented here.
- A number of config global variables have been renamed for consistency
- Any var ending in _dir is an absolute filesystem directory path
- Any var ending in _path is a URL path relative to the hostname and always starts with a '/'
- Neither var ever ends in a separator
- $ark_server_path -> $ark_root_dir
- $ark_dir -> $ark_root_path and no longer ends in a /
- $registered_files_host -> $registered_files_path
- $phMagickDir -> $phmagick_file
- ark_web_maptemp_dir -> ark_maptemp_path
- $ark_lib_dir and $ark_lib_path point to the library folder
- $skins_dir and $skins_path point to the skins folder
- $skin_dir and $skin_path point to the current skin folder
- A number of config global variables have been renamed for clarity
- $mode -> $search_mode
- $ftx_mode -> $search_ftx_mode
- A number of config global variables have been deleted as they are not used:
- $default_year
- $conf_non_search_words
- $conf_langs
- $loaded_map_modules
- $default_output_mode
- The logging globals have been changed
- $log, $conf_log_add, $conf_log_edt, $conf_log_del are deleted
- $log_ins, $log_upd and $log_del are used instead
- The $fs_path_sep and $fs_slash have been removed, use PATH_SEPARATOR and DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constants instead.
