Features
Multiple iTop extensions come up with configuration parameters, but sometimes, the best person to set them isn't the iTop Administrator and the Configuration file is only accessible to Administrator. Rather than giving to this person full access to iTop Configuration, you can with this extension, allow him to edit just the modules configuration that he needs.
-
Delegate specific modules configuration to some profile
-
Can allow the inline edition of some modules even if the full Configuration edition is disabled for security reason with the parameter
config_editor
.
For eg. you want to allow Configuration Manager to setup and modify rules for those 2 modules: User actions configurator and Hyperlinks configurator
- Configuration file
-
$MyModuleSettings = array( 'combodo-modules-config-editor' => array ( 'profiles' => array ( 'Configuration Manager' => array ( 'itop-object-copier', 'combodo-custom-hyperlinks', ), ), ),

Configuration
For some iTop profiles, you can define explicitly the modules (identified with their code, as in the full Configuration file) which parameters edition will be allowed
- Configuration file
-
'combodo-modules-config-editor' => array ( 'profiles' => array ( 'Administrator' => array ( 'approval-base', 'authent-ldap', 'combodo-modules-config-editor', ), 'Configuration Manager' => array ( 'itop-object-copier', 'combodo-custom-hyperlinks', 'itop-attachments', 'itop-stencils', 'customer-survey', 'approval-base', 'combodo-approval-extended', 'combodo-sla-computation', ), ), ),
The module configuration editor works even if the full
Configuration edition is disabled for security reason with the
parameter config_editor
.
- conf/production/config-itop.php
-
'itop-config' => array( 'config_editor' => 'disabled', )
Usage
Launch the editor from the configuration menu:
-
If the user tries to add some configuration for modules that he is not allowed to, this module configuration will be ignored (silently?)
-
If the user enters PHP invalid format, his submission will be rejected with an error message
-
If the user set non-existing parameters, there won't be any warning message, but those unknown parameters will have no effect
There is no warning nor error message, the invalid module is still displayed as typed.
If you Reset or reload the page, it will display the saved modules, remove the invalid ones and restored the removed ones.

, so if two persons edit
them in parallel, the last one wins
