Good question. I don't have a provision yet for module specific 
configfiles. I put them in my general configfile, so I need only keep 1 
configfile when upgrading to a new version.

But let's have a short discussion about it. What would be a good way to 
do it?

Maybe like this:

create a configs/ directory in the achievo directory, with for each 
module a configfile, with the name modulename.inc.php.

Advantage is that you have all configs in one place.
Disadvantages:
- when installing a module, you would have to put the configfile in 
place yourself, since we don't have a module installer yet.
- when upgrading the software, you should keep your configfile AND the 
configs/ directory.

What do you think?

By the way, if you name your configvar like this: $config_myconfigvar,
then you can retrieve its value with atkconfig("myconfigvar"); Doing 
this instead of using the global var directly, will later make it easier 
to switch the configuration method (configvars might come from a table 
in the future)

Greetings,
Ivo
