   7  CONFIGURATION
   8  
   9  This file contains information to help you customize MantisBT.  A more
  10  detailed doc can be found at:
  11  http://docs.mantisbt.org/
  12  
  13  * config_defaults_inc.php
  14    - this file contains the default values for all the site-wide variables.
  15  * config_inc.php
  16    - You should create this file to change config variable values.  Your
  17      values from this file will be used instead of the defaults.  This file
  18      will not be overwritten when you upgrade, but config_defaults_inc.php will.
  19      Look at config_inc.php.sample for an example.
  20  
  21  * core/*_api.php - these files contains all the API library functions.
  22  
  23  * global variables are prefixed by g_
  24  * parameters in functions are prefixed with p_ -- parameters shouldn't be modified within the function.
  25  * form variables are prefixed with f_
  26  * variables that have been cleaned for db insertiong are prefixed with c_
  27  * temporary variables are prefixed with t_.
  28  * template variables are prefixed with tpl_.
  29  * count variables have the word count in the variable name

  33  
  34  * The files are split into three basic categories, viewable pages,
  35  include files and pure scripts. Examining the viewable pages (suffix _page)
  36  should make the basic file format fairly easy to see.  The file names
  37  themselves should make their purpose apparent.  The approach used is to break the
  38  work into many small files rather than have a small number of really
  39  large files.
  40  
  41  * Most of the action scripts have a confirmation page to make sure the action
  42  completed successfully.  The pages will automatically redirect you after a
  43  short amount of time.  You can shorten of lengthen the time by editing
  44  $g_default_redirect_delay in config_inc.php.
  45  
  46  * Edit css_inc.php to make your own page formatting.
  47  
  48  * You can set $g_top_include_page and $g_bottom_include_page
  49    to alter what should be visible at the top and bottom of each page.
  50  
  51  * All files were edited with TAB SPACES set to 4.
  52  
  53  As a general debugging tip you should be extremely generous in using echo,
  54  print and exit functions.  This is the quickest way to see if a database
  55  query actually contains what you want, etc.
