XOOPS Config in File and Not MySQL DB

In my quest to save DB Queries, I was thinking maybe the XOOPS Config stuff like site name, description, etc should be stored in a php file rather than in the DB. This is needed for every page and calling it from a DB is kind of a waste.

Less DB queries = less page time gen.
But seriously, that info is used for every page, why not make it faster...

DEVs, what I mean by this is do what Mambo does basically, store the config in a php file rather than in the DB since the config has to called up for EVERY page.

Putting it in a file will speed things up a bit.

Oh wow, no one is interested in saving queries?
I mean, quering the config for every page isnt exactly conservative.

Must admit I haven't spotted this one before.

We are looking into several areas for optimisation and retrieving information on every request, when that information does not often change, is - as you say - rather unnecessary.

Good one Pegasus.

How about encrypting the database access info while you are at it?

Seriously, taking away 5 queries for config is saving quite a bit in terms of queries and thats a good bit of speed up.

Sounds like a logical idea to me...

I'd be willing to try and make this work.

Where is the XOOPS config handler located in?

Isn't the config table retrieved using a single query?

Hmmm, it looks like there are three config table queries for each page.
