Sources having only the database?

[margarett]

I was trying to test this SEO Boards and one thing came to my mind... Even if I do have the installer for it (no idea how I got it 👅 ) I would assume that most of the times we would just get a database dump. It's not that uncommon.

Of course, this comes very handy in my recent quest for a forums.net conversion 😆 as in this case you really can only have the database dump...
I can easily build a "fake" configuration file. But should we consider a better "handling" for these cases?

Yes, yes!!

There would already be a way: forms (see the WordPress xml file).
Though, while working on eliminating globals, this has been made useless. I didn't spend much time on it mainly because I didn't have any reason to (because none of those using the tag still need it), but it is something to fix indeed (I guess config->source is the place where the values should be stored, and archived in config->store for saving them in session and having the values available at each step).

Thanks for tracking it!
