How to pimp xoopsConfig easily?

I wonder if there are any other possibilities extending the system preferences in 2.0.13.1?

I added an extra field to the config-table. I made an extra-field for preventing bots getting a SESSION-ID when a shop is installed. I set up an array with all known bots and added an query to common.php before a session would be started.

Maybe I am thinking too complicated?

If the field is added to the config table and placed in the general settings category of the system, you should have it in $xoopsConfig by default without the need for an additional query in common.php.

Am I misunderstanding your problem?

Noooooo, damn my English!

With query I meant that I compare the HTTP_USER_AGENTs with the value of the field. To make it complete this is what I changed in common.php:

session_name("s");
$spiders = $xoopsConfig['nobotsession'];
$from_spider=FALSE; 
foreach($spiders as $val) 
{
if (eregi($val, $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"])) 
{ 
$from_spider=TRUE; 
break; 
} 
} 
// Session 
if(!$from_spider) session_start();

can't see how that routine could be simpler when it comes to the xoopsConfig array.

I can't comment on the actual implementation of the eregi etc. since that is a very weak point in my knowledge, but from a XOOPS pov, I can't see any obvious flaws.

Misunderstanding No. 2! LOL

I don't see flaws in the code either (but what I do know). I only meant that changing the database-table is a dirty way to achieve what I want.

So I was hoping for a more elegant way of hacking. I was puzzled that the system-configs are not part of their xoops_version.php.
