Configuration Storage

Settings are stored in multiple locations:

1. Database (db_settings table)

   • All configuration options
   • Searchable and dynamic
   • Used by application runtime

2. Config File (f_core/config.setup.php)

   • PHP constants for quick access
   • Auto-generated from database
   • Cached by OPcache

3. Completion Marker (.setup_complete)

   • JSON file with metadata
   • Prevents wizard re-run
   • Contains completion timestamp

📊 Database Integration

Tables Used

db_accountuser - Admin creation

• Inserts/updates admin user
• Sets role to 'admin'
• Marks as verified
• Active status

SQL Operations

-- Settings example
INSERT INTO db_settings (setting_name, setting_value, updated_at)
VALUES ('site_name', 'MyPlatform', NOW())
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE setting_value = 'MyPlatform', updated_at = NOW()

-- Admin user example
INSERT INTO db_accountuser (usr_user, usr_password, usr_email, usr_role, usr_status, usr_verified)
VALUES ('admin', '$2y$10$...', 'admin@example.com', 'admin', 'active', 1)

🛠️ Customization Options

For Developers

Want to add more configuration options? Easy!

1. Add HTML field in setup.php:

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="myNewSetting">My New Setting</label>
    <input type="text" id="myNewSetting" placeholder="Enter value">
</div>

2. Collect in JavaScript (setup-wizard.js):

formData.myNewSetting = document.getElementById('myNewSetting').value;

3. Save in Backend (setup_wizard.php):

'my_new_setting' => $data['myNewSetting'] ?? 'default_value',

That's it! The wizard automatically handles the rest.
