Detailed Description

This is a class for holding configuration settings, particularly for multi-wiki sites.

A basic synopsis:

Consider a wikifarm having three sites: two production sites, one in English and one in German, and one testing site. You can assign them easy-to-remember identifiers - ISO 639 codes 'en' and 'de' for language wikis, and 'beta' for the testing wiki.

You would thus initialize the site configuration by specifying the wiki identifiers:

 $conf = new SiteConfiguration;
 $conf->wikis = array( 'de', 'en', 'beta' );

When configuring the MediaWiki global settings (the $wg variables), the identifiers will be available to specify settings on a per wiki basis.

 $conf->settings = array(
        'wgSomeSetting' => array(

                # production:
                'de'     => false,
                'en'     => false,

                # test:
                'beta    => true,
        ),
 );

With three wikis, that is easy to manage. But what about a farm with hundreds of wikis? Site configuration provides a special keyword named 'default' which is the value used when a wiki is not found. Hence the above code could be written:

 $conf->settings = array(
        'wgSomeSetting' => array(

                'default' => false,

                # Enable feature on test
                'beta'    => true,
        ),
 );

Since settings can contain arrays, site configuration provides a way to merge an array with the default. This is very useful to avoid repeating settings again and again while still maintaining specific changes on a per wiki basis.

 $conf->settings = array(
        'wgMergeSetting' = array(
                # Value that will be shared among all wikis:
                'default' => array(  NS_USER => true ),

                # Leading '+' means merging the array of value with the defaults
                '+beta' => array( NS_HELP => true ),
        ),
 );

 # Get configuration for the German site:
 $conf->get( 'wgMergeSetting', 'de' );
 // --> array( NS_USER => true );

 # Get configuration for the testing site:
 $conf->get( 'wgMergeSetting', 'beta' );
 // --> array( NS_USER => true, NS_HELP => true );

Finally, to load all configuration settings, extract them in global context:

 # Name / identifier of the wiki as set in $conf->wikis
 $wikiID = 'beta';
 $globals = $conf->getAll( $wikiID );
 extract( $globals );

TODO: give examples for, suffixes: $conf->suffixes = array( 'wiki' ); localVHosts callbacks!
