Hi folks,

I’m tweaking the config.php file in an EE 1.6.8 install and I’d like to be sure that I’m doing it properly. Unfortunately, the documentation on http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/general/hidden_configuration_variables.html looks wrong:

1. The line “Hidden configuration variables are placed in system/expressionengine/config/config.php and are used to over-ride default behavior.” is referencing the location of config.php in EE 2.x, not EE 1.x. Shouldn’t this be system/config.php?

2. All of the config options listed are in the format “$config[variable]”, but the EE 1.6.8 config.php file I’m looking at (taken from a working site) lists them in the format “$conf[variable]”. Which is it, $conf or $config?

Thanks,
Ruthie

Yes, it should by system/config.php and yes, 1.6.x uses the “$conf[variable]” notation. I filed a minor documentation bug report. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
