    Configurable data folder (VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER)

    Hello,

    We have an automated system that syncs our local development server with the productive server, deleting all files on the productive server that are unknown. As a result it deletes the content of the data folder.

    I've moved the data folder outside the sync area and patched VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER manually. Would be nice if the location of the data folder (VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER) is configurable.

    Best regards,
    Thomas Jarosch

    Hello Thomas,

    it is configurable within vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file:
    define('VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER', '/path/to/data/');

    we didn't moved it to vB admincp options to avoid having too many options, which may be confusing to users.

    Hello Oleg,

    Thanks for your reply.

    That's what I meant by patching a file ;-)
    Also the path is hardcoded in the vbseo_getsitemap.php file, too.

    Can't you introduce a hidden config option so it won't confuse the users but make updates without patching possible?

    Best regards,
    Thomas Jarosch

    Hello Thomas,

    no problem, we will move the definitions portion to a separate config file for easier upgrades
