iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . . . .

Ehrm . . .

Forget Ben's 'storing in db' idea for a minute and try to see his true
point:

"Configuring the realurl array in localconf.php is ha hackerish daunting
task which will stop proper operation of your typo3 install with all of
its 30 virtual domains if you fsck up."

;-)

But not to worry, we can write a nice backend module form to create the
realurl config array and write it to localconf.php from there. Problem
solved, users happier.

I can see it now . . . 

- a backend module where you can build your realurl array by choosing
  postVarSets from dropdown lists
- these dropdown lists will be auto generated, example in extdeveval but
  then better to include 'piVars'.
- preview of generated array if checkbox checked.
- an opportunity to 'hand tweak' the array in textare if desired (advanced
  option).

This sound like a fun assignment.

I'll see what I can come up with.

Cheers,
