NAME

FS::Conf - Freeside configuration values

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::Conf;

 $conf = new FS::Conf;

 $value = $conf->config('key');
 @list  = $conf->config('key');
 $bool  = $conf->exists('key');

 $conf->touch('key');
 $conf->set('key' => 'value');
 $conf->delete('key');

 @config_items = $conf->config_items;

DESCRIPTION

Read and write Freeside configuration values. Keys currently map to filenames, but this may change in the future.

METHODS

new

Create a new configuration object.

base_dir

Returns the base directory. By default this is /usr/local/etc/freeside.

config KEY [ AGENTNUM ]

Returns the configuration value or values (depending on context) for key. The optional agent number selects an agent specific value instead of the global default if one is present.

config_binary KEY [ AGENTNUM ]

Returns the exact scalar value for key.

exists KEY [ AGENTNUM ]

Returns true if the specified key exists, even if the corresponding value is undefined.

invoice_templatenames

Returns all possible invoice template names.

touch KEY [ AGENT ];

Creates the specified configuration key if it does not exist.

set KEY VALUE [ AGENTNUM ];

Sets the specified configuration key to the given value.

set_binary KEY VALUE [ AGENTNUM ]

Sets the specified configuration key to an exact scalar value which can be retrieved with config_binary.

delete KEY [ AGENTNUM ];

Deletes the specified configuration key.

import_config_item CONFITEM DIR

 Imports the item specified by the CONFITEM (see L<FS::ConfItem>) into

the database as a conf record (see L<FS::conf>). Imports from the file in the directory DIR.

verify_config_item CONFITEM DIR

 Compares the item specified by the CONFITEM (see L<FS::ConfItem>) in

the database to the legacy file value in DIR.

config_items

Returns all of the possible global/default configuration items as FS::ConfItem objects. See FS::ConfItem.

SUBROUTINES

init-config DIR

Imports the non-deprecated configuration items from DIR (1.7 compatible) to conf records in the database.

BUGS

If this was more than just crud that will never be useful outside Freeside I'd worry that config_items is freeside-specific and icky.
