What is purpose of tcmods?

e.h. why is especially readtcmconfbeing called all over?

My lazy file based hack to avoid using the sqlite db for these settings. At the time it was easier/faster to just nano a conf file than edit a sql table, copy back and forth, etc. I gradually made more use of sql table, but not before tcmods.conf became a monster!

Architecturally what is needed is a single “settings” table that provides PHP and JS exact same settings at any given moment.

The "read, change-setting ,update" sequence is to ensure using most recent settiing.

Obviously using a conf file and reading and updating the entire file just to change one setting is not optimum lol

Mhm. A simple settings table consisting of category, key, value? Sounds simple. I'm afraid though youll need to take a stab, that whole playersession thing is killing me.

Also the read things to assign to (other) global vars to output to template.... Sucks ;)

No prob. At some point I’ll migrate tcmods.conf settings to cfg_engine sql table and then convert the code to make sql calls instead of file read/update calls.

that whole playersession thing is killing me

playersession is moved to ConfigDB class in the current repo. Clearer structure, less madness in the code. Still entirely buggy though.
