Use single config file for site and admin

[syammohanmp]

It is more difficult to host the entire project to another location. At this time, database configuration should be applied in two locations ( both root folder and admin ) and this piece of code are same in root and admin.

Also please use dirname(FILE) instead of direct writing DOCUMNET_ROOT path in config file.

They don't want to simplify, I've sent a solution before.

If I recall correctly the config files were setup this way to allow you to host the admin side of the site in a completely different directory from the root OpenCart installation.

The solution I propose do not invalid this situation! Most of the configurations are just code repetition.

@edirpedro I agree the use of a single directory constant would be easier so you only have to change it once. I was responding to this thread in particular where he requests the use of a single config file.

Cheers,

Just a note, this invalid to that situation you mentioned because you will need to edit /admin/index.php to point to the right path to config.php. The problem is when you upgrade OC and replace the index.php.

But, at least the Constants I propose is better because it do not conflict like the ones HTTP_SERVER, HTTPS_SERVER, DIR_APPLICATION, DIR_LANGUAGE and DIR_TEMPLATE. So for normal installations, we could just copy and paste in both files or point /admin/config.php to include the /config.php.
