Setting a Config Item - mla - 11-28-2016
Hello
Is it possible to set a value into an item loaded from a config file?
I read into the manual the page about "Config Class"
Expecially about "set_item" function
But which is the syntax for 'item_name' in case item is loaded from a config file?
Example:
In my controller:
PHP Code:
$this->load->library(array('ion_auth'));
...
//get 'identity' value from loaded config file
$id_type = $this->config->item('identity', 'ion_auth');
...
$id_type = 'new_value';
...
//set 'new_value' to 'identity' config item
$this->config->set_item('identity', $id_type) ;
In this case, I set 'new_value' into config array, but NOT in "ion_auth" occurrence...
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks

As you have realized Ion auth loads config items into its own config key using this scheme
PHP Code:
$this->load->config('ion_auth', TRUE);
What that means is that $config['ion_auth'] will hold an array of the contents of application/config/ion_auth.php
So to set the identity key this ought to work
PHP Code:
$config['ion_auth'] ['identity'] = 'new_value';
Or this amounts to the exact same thing only it requires more typing.
PHP Code:
$ion_auth_config = $this->config->item('ion_auth');
$ion_auth_config ['identity'] = 'new_value';

With:
PHP Code:
$config['ion_auth'] ['identity'] = 'new_value';
I initialize $config array; but it isn't the same array where original configuration ion_auth was loaded...
If I try:
PHP Code:
var_dump($config);
I have:
array(1) { ["ion_auth"]=> array(1) { ["identity"]=> string(9) "new_value" } }
If I try:
PHP Code:
var_dump($this->config);
I see the original value, as loaded from file...
object(CI_Config)#3 (3) {
["config"]=> &array(...)
{
["ion_auth"]=> array(...)
{ ["default_rounds"]=> int(8)
["identity"]=> string(5) "email"
["min_password_length"]=> int(8)
}
}
}

Doh!
That's what I get for responding when I should have gone to sleep.
This line
PHP Code:
$config['ion_auth'] ['identity'] = 'new_value';
Should have been
PHP Code:
$this->config->config['ion_auth'] ['identity'] = 'new_value';

Ok. Many thanks.
This is th correct syntax for configuration parameters 'item_name' loaded from file 'file_name':
PHP Code:
$this->config->config['file_name'] ['item_name'] = 'new_value';
