Settings.php
This is the main settings file for each instance of ARK. The file is divide into sections as set out below
Contents
Server Setup
The server setup being used. Currently ARK is configured for Mapserver 4 Windows (ms4w), Mac, and Linux servers. Set the server type and include the env_settings.php file using:
$server="ms4w";
// Include settings related to your server environment (this also uses the server specified above)
include('env_settings.php');
Server Specific Information
You will need to edit the following depending on your specific server information. Edit the information under the type of server you are using.
YOU MUST UPDATE THE SERVER SPECIFIC INFORMATION BEFORE YOUR ARK INSTALLATION WILL FUNCTION. AS A FIRST STEP UPDATE:
- $ark_dir - your ark directory
- $ark_db - your ark database
- $sql_server - the MySQL server
- $sql_user - The MySQL user who will make db calls
- $sql_pwd - The mysql user password
The rest of the basic settings for each server are included below:
switch($server){
case ms4w:
// The folder name of THIS instance of Ark (relative to the document root of the host in which it is hosted)
$ark_dir = '/ark/';
// The mysql db name of this instance of ark
$ark_db = 'ark';
// The mysqlserver
$sql_server = 'localhost';
// The mysql user who will make all the db calls
$sql_user = 'usr';
// The mysql user's password
$sql_pwd = 'psw';
// EXPORT
$export_dir = $ark_dir.'data/tmp/';
// FILE specific
// Where the files are stored after they are registered (/ after last folder)
$registered_files_dir = $doc_root. $ark_dir . 'data/files/';
// Where the files are stored after they are registered (/ after last folder)
// Browser option: default is $ark_dir . 'data/files/
// If the registered files directory is outside the main server directory then you need to setup an alias in httdp.conf
$registered_files_host = $ark_dir . 'data/files/';
// Top directory of the file browser - can only search relative to this directory.
$default_upload_dir = 'C:/';
break;
case mac:
// The folder name of THIS instance of Ark (relative to the document root of the host in which it is hosted)
$ark_dir = '/ark/';
// The mysql db name of this instance of ark
$ark_db = 'ark';

$default_upload_dir = '\srv';
break;
case linux:
// The folder name of THIS instance of Ark (relative to the document root of the host in which it is hosted)
$ark_dir = '/ark/';
// The mysql db name of this instance of ark
$ark_db = 'ark';

$sql_user = 'usr';
// The mysql user's password
$sql_pwd = 'pwd';
// EXPORT
$export_dir = $ark_dir.'data/tmp/';
// FILE specific
// Where the files are stored after they are registered (/ after last folder)
$registered_files_dir = $doc_root. $ark_dir . 'data/files/';
// Where the files are stored after they are registered (/ after last folder)

break;
}
General
This contains general configuration for the ARK.
Minimiser
Is the minimiser enabled? To use the minimiser on specific data entry pages you need to go to the mod_settings files (ex. mod_cxt_settings.php) and make sure that 'col_type' => 'collaps_col', instead of single_col in the $conf_dat_materi and $conf_dat_detfrm settings.
// Set to TRUE if you want to use the minimising left hand navigation bar $minimiser = TRUE;
ARK Name
The name of this instance of ARK - can not contain spaces!
// The Ark name $ark_name = 'Tutorial';
ARK Name (Markup)
The name of this instance of ARK - as markup. Appears on the index (home) page and in the browser window/tab title. Should be entered in cor_tbl_markup accordingly.
// The nickname for the markup ARK name that appears on the index page and // as browser window/tab title $arkname_mk = 'arkname';
Live Search
The controls for the live search function
// Live search controls /* * live = live search * dd = drop down menu * plain = plain text search */ $mode = "live";
NB- Controls for xmi live search should not be included in the global settings, this has been moved to the subform configuration as of v0.7
Also the controls for live search for XMI
// Live search controls for xmi /* * live = live search - this should only be set to live if you are using the collapsing data entry * dd = drop down menu * plain = plain text search */ $xmi_mode = "live";
Fancy Text Search
The controls for fancy text search, using boolean functions such as +, -, "search term", etc (like Google).
// Free text search mode /* * fancy - this allows complex search options such as +, -, "" (like Google!) * plain = plain free text search, no fancy options */ $ftx_mode = "fancy";
Modules
Configure the modules to be used in this ARK project:
// List the modules that need to be loaded in this ARK project
$loaded_modules =
array(
'abk', // address book
'cxt', // contexts
'pln', // plans
'smp', // samples
'spf', // Special finds
'sph', // Site photos
);
Also configure the modules to load mapping data:
// Lists the modules to load maps for
$loaded_map_mods =
array(
'cxt', // context
'smp', // samples
);
Set the default item key for this ARK setup:
// The default item key for this instance of Ark - format: mod_cd $default_itemkey = 'cxt_cd'; // context
Set the DSN for this ARK (this should generally NOT need adjusting)
// DSN (this shouldn't need adjusting) $dsn = 'mysql://'.$sql_user.':'.$sql_pwd.'@'.$sql_server.'/'.$ark_db;
Security and Permissions
The security and permissions for ARK is handled by LiveUser.
Security
The liveuser settings need to be set, as well as the variables for allowing anonymous logins. The liveuser configuration is as follows:
// -- SECURITY -- // // Liveuser: // These are the names of the liveuser objects. They should be unique per ARK // (to prevent cross ark hacking). They need to be called in the code as // $$liveuser and $$liveuser_admin $liveuser = $ark_name . 'usr'; $liveuser_admin = $ark_name . 'usr' . '_admin'; // The path to the login script (relative to the document root) $loginScript = 'index.php'; // Anonymous Logins // If these variables are set then you are allowing anonymous logins // This is a security risk! Its best to leave these statements commented out. // Bear in mind that for this to work - you will also need to make a new user (using the ARK user_admin tools). $anonymous_login['username'] = 'anon'; $anonymous_login['password'] = 'anon';
Permissions
A variety of permissions need to be set to ensure the appropriate users are making use of advanced functions. All permissions are based on the numerical id of security groups (from the cor_lvu_groups table). For instance, it is possible to allow some users to make their personal saved filters public for all to use. As of v0.8, adding to control lists (adding attributes), and perhaps most importantly, advanced record functions such as edit module types and delete entire records need to also have sgrps defined.
// Filter permissions
// Members of the following (sgrp) groups will have permission to make their own filters public
// and permission to make other users (and their own) filters got private
$ftr_admin_grps =
array(
1
);
// Control list permissions
// Members of the following (sgrp) groups will have permission to add items to controlled lists
$ctrllist_admin_grps =
array(
1
);
// Record admin permissions
// Members of the following (sgrp) groups will have access to the advanced record functions
$record_admin_grps =
array(
2
);
Form Methods
// -- FORMS -- // // Method used in forms: // get = form messages sent via get method - visible in browser bar. // post = form message sent via post method - invisible to the user. $form_method = 'get';
Skin
Sets the skin name and skin path for this ARK project:
// Skin name $skin = 'arkologik'; // Skin path $skin_path = "$ark_dir/skins/$skin";
Thumbnails
Sets thumbnail sizes for ARK (this will be used when uploading files)
// Optional
$thumbnail_sizes =
array(
'arkthumb_width' => 100,
'arkthumb_height' => 100,
'webthumb_width' => 500,
'webthumb_height' => 500
);
Forms
Set default year and site code for data entry and viewing:
//Default year as a setting for form data entry $default_year = '2008'; //Default site code $default_site_cd = 'PCO06';
Viewers
Configure the viewers to display a set number of rows:
// -- VIEWERS -- // // Number of rows to display on the data viewer $conf_viewer_rows = 25;
And the number of pages to display on the data viewer:
// Number of pages to display on the data viewer $conf_num_res_pgs = 5; // best choose an odd number
Also configure the index pages for Micro View, Data View, and Search pages:
// Default Micro viewer page (used by search result handlers) $conf_micro_viewer = $ark_dir."micro_view.php"; // Default data viewer page $conf_data_viewer = $ark_dir."data_view.php"; // Default search page - search funtions will send data thru to this page $conf_search_viewer = $ark_dir."data_view.php";
Set the default for search results display:
// Default $output_mode for the data viewer $default_output_mode = 'tbl';
Mapping
Set the basic configuration for mapping functions (map directory, temp directory, etc):
// Path to temp directory (server) $ark_maptemp_dir = 'C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/'.$ark_dir.'mapserver/tmp/'; // Path to temp directory (web) $ark_web_maptemp_dir = 'mapserver/tmp/'; // Path to WMS mapfile (server) $ark_wms_map = 'C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/'.$ark_dir.'mapserver/mapfiles/ark_wms.map'; // Path to WFS mapfile (server) $ark_wfs_map = 'C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/'.$ark_dir.'mapserver/mapfiles/ark_wfs.map'; // Map scales $map_scales = '[1000,750,500,250,150,100,50,25,10]'; // Tilecache_path - only set this if you have a tilecache setup on your server //$tilecache_path = '/cgi-bin/tilecache.cgi?';
Configure the wms query layers:
/*$wms_qlayers = array ( array( 'name' => 'cxt_schm', 'geom' => 'pgn' ), array( 'name' => 'sfi_points', 'geom' => 'pt' ), );*/
Set up the map projection and extents to suit the location of the ARK project:
// Map projection (in form: "EPSG:4326") $map_projection = 'EPSG:27700'; // Map extents (in form: "1075,970,1115,1010") $map_extents = '533866, 180940,533963, 181000';
Set the layer from WMS to be used in map view
// Maplayers from the WMS layer used in the map view
$mapview_layers = array ('contexts');
Logging
Configures logging levels to record logging into database and changes to data. Set to 'on' to turn the logging on, otherwise set to FALSE.
//Logging levels $conf_log_add = 'on'; $conf_log_edt = 'on'; $conf_log_del = 'on';
Search Engine
Configures words to cut out of multi-string searches to streamline the search process and maximise results.
// words to cut out of multi string searches
$conf_non_search_words = array('and', 'di', 'in');
Languages
Configures the default language and other languages in use.
// The default lang
$default_lang = 'en';
// These are the languages in use (in order)
$conf_langs = array('en', 'da');
Fields

include_once('field_settings.php');
Document Type
Configures the document type to use for web output
$doctype = "html \n
PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\"\n
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\"";
Configure to state what links will appear in the end of the navigation bar.
$conf_linklist =
array(
'file' => 'index.php',
'vars' => 'logout=true',
'label' => 'logout'
);
Unless listed in this array, all pages will appear in the main nav.
$conf_hide_pages =
array(
'index.php',
'record_view.php',
'contact.php',
'about.php',
'search.php',
'folder.php',
'overlay_holder.php',
'export.php',
'alias_admin.php',
'markup_admin.php',
'import.php'
);
Results Toolbar
Configure the tools and display options for the search page (data_view).
First form the individual buttons:
- Tools:
// TOOLS
$group_tools[] =
array(
'type' => 'img',
'href' => "overlay_holder.php?sf_conf=conf_mac_userconfigfields&lboxreload=1",
'css_class' => 'gears',
'mkname' => FALSE,
'lightbox' => 'lightbox'
);
- Displays:
// DISPs
$res = "results_mode=disp";
// Text view
$group_disp[] =
array(
'type' => 'img',
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?$res&disp_mode=text",
'css_class' => 'text',
'mkname' => FALSE,
'lightbox' => FALSE
);
// Table view
$group_disp[] =
array(
'type' => 'img',
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?$res&disp_mode=table",
'css_class' => 'table',
'mkname' => FALSE,
'lightbox' => FALSE
);
// Map view
$group_disp[] =
array(
'type' => 'img',
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?$res&disp_mode=map",
'css_class' => 'map',
'mkname' => FALSE,
'lightbox' => FALSE
);
// All record view
$group_disp[] =
array(
'type' => 'newpage',
'href' => "resultsmicro_view.php?",
'css_class' => 'printall',
'mkname' => FALSE,
'lightbox' => FALSE
);
- Feeds:
// FEEDS
$res = "results_mode=feed";
$group_feeds[] =
array(
'type' => 'text',
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?$res&feed_mode=rss",
'css_class' => FALSE,
'mkname' => 'rss',
'lightbox' => FALSE
);
$group_feeds[] =
array(

'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?$res&feed_mode=atom",
'css_class' => FALSE,
'mkname' => 'atom',
'lightbox' => FALSE
);
- Downloads:
// DOWNLOADS
$res = "results_mode=dl";
$group_dls[] =

'css_class' => FALSE,
'mkname' => 'csv',
'lightbox' => 'lightbox|200'
);
And then put them in the toolbar conf array:
// Package these button groups up into a toolbar
$conf_results_nav =
array(
'tools' => $group_tools,
'result_views' => $group_disp,
'result_feeds' => $group_feeds,
'result_downloads' => $group_dls,
);
Left Panel Configuration
Left Panel- Data Entry
This section configures the left panel in the data entry pages. As of v0.8 there are two configuration options here.
Option 1 - Link list
This is a simple list of links that will be formatted and outputted into the left panel. Each link requires the following:
- href - link to the output
- mknname - mark-up nickname will search the markup table for this nickname and print the markup
within the 'href' the following vars need to be set up (see example below):
- view - the view the link should point to (regist, detfrm, files or a custom view)
- item_key - itemkey to point to if any (cxt_cd, smp_cd)
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=regist&item_key=cxt_cd",
'mknname' => 'regcxt'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=detfrm&item_key=cxt_cd",
'mknname' => 'detcxt'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=regist&item_key=pln_cd",
'mknname' => 'regpln'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=regist&item_key=sph_cd",
'mknname' => 'regsph'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=regist&item_key=abk_cd",
'mknname' => 'regabk'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=regist&item_key=smp_cd",
'mknname' => 'regsmp'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=detfrm&item_key=smp_cd",
'mknname' => 'detsmp'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=materi&item_key=smp_cd",
'mknname' => 'matsmp'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=regist&item_key=spf_cd",
'mknname' => 'regspf'
);
$data_entry_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?view=files",
'mknname' => 'uplfile'
);
Option 2 - Subform
As of v0.8 subforms can be executed within the left panel. This opens the door for a range of custom subforms to be written providing useful user interface features. This also permits us to use conditional behaviours for the panel.
In order to set this up correctly, you need to set up a subform and place it within a column as you would in data entry or micro view.
$delp_subform1 =
array(
'view_state' => 'max',
'edit_state' => 'view',
'sf_nav_type' => 'none',
'sf_title' => 'lplinklist',
'sf_html_id' => 'lplinklist', // Must be unique
'script' => 'php/subforms/sf_linklist.php',
'op_label' => 'space',
'op_input' => 'save',
'op_modtype' => FALSE, //if each modtype uses same fields (see below)
'op_condition' =>
array(
array(
'func'=> 'chkUserPerm',
'args'=> array(84)
)
),
'fields' => $lp_link_list
);
$data_entry_left_panel =
array(
'col_id' => 'delp',
'col_alias' => FALSE,
'col_type' => 'primary_col',
'subforms' =>
array(
$delp_subform1
)
);
In order to use the sf_linklist (as in the above example) create a link list array according to the criteria for option 1 (see above) and then put this into the 'fields' element of the subform instead of an array of fields. This is documented within the page for this subform as this is now a behaviour specific to this subform.
Left Panel- Micro View
Configures the left panel in the micro view pages, requires the following:
- item_key - itemkey to point to if any (cxt_cd, smp_cd)
- href - link to the output
- mknname - mark-up nickname will search the markup table for this nickname and print the markup
$micro_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?item_key=cxt_cd",
'mknname' => 'vwcxt'
);
$micro_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?item_key=pln_cd",
'mknname' => 'vwpln'
);
$micro_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?item_key=smp_cd",
'mknname' => 'vwsmp'
);
$micro_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?item_key=spf_cd",
'mknname' => 'vwspf'
);
$micro_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?item_key=sph_cd",
'mknname' => 'vwsph'
);
Left Panel- Data View
This configures the left panel for the data view pages and needs the following:
- href - link to the output ({$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']} is on same page, $ark_dir/export.php is on export page)
- output_mode - output format for internal links
- output - is output format for external links
- mknname - mark-up nickname will search the markup table for this nickname and print the markup
$data_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "$ark_dir/export.php?output=CSVExt",
'mknname' => 'expcsv'
);
$data_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "$ark_dir/export.php?output=XMLExt",
'mknname' => 'expxml'
);
$data_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?output_mode=tbl",
'mknname' => 'vwtbl'
);
$data_view_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?output_mode=chat",
'mknname' => 'vwchat'
);
Left Panel- User Home
This configures the left-panel for the user home pages and needs the following fields:
- href - link to the output
- mknname - mark-up nickname will search the markup table for this nickname and print the markup
$user_home_left_panel[] =
array(
'href' => "data_view.php?vtok=1&nname=All_Contexts&ftype=key&key=1&ktype=all",
'mknname' => 'vwcxt'
);
