Which directives (define / $conf array) from the config.inc.php file to use

[zigi]

Hi,

I'm writing some patches but I don't know, which directives (define ~ constant / item of $conf array) from the config.inc.php file to use in modules, plugins etc. Which one is preffered?

For example for server root exist three directives:
1. define('ISPC_ROOT_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../'));
2. $conf['rootpath'] = substr(dirname(__FILE__),0,-4);
3. define('SERVER_ROOT',$conf['rootpath']);

I think that the code needs some cleaning.

Please use the $conf array.

Yes, thats indeed the case. A guy who originally wants to clean up things instead messed everything up and stopped at 50% of the changes and left us with this messy duplicate conf definitions.
