[TYPO3-dev] relaurl: autoconf generation after update to sys_domains

[Steffen Gebert]

Hi Dmitry & other realurl fans!

As discussed about 4 weeks ago [1] I made a suggestion to rewrite realurl's autoconfig after changes to sys_domain. We have ~180 domains at the moment and I would like to let realurl rewrite it after changes to sys_domain, which occur every few days.

I wrote:

Dmitry answered:

So I wrote a patch and submitted it after some tests to bugtracker [2].
I did my best to follow CGLs, keep code simple and did IMHO no great changes (except that config is overwritten if config is in serial format without introducing a new configuration option in EM).

I hope you have time to review this within the next few weeks and await your or other's comments if I should overwork the patch.
