How to Modify CiviCRM settings file

Question

How can I modify the CiviCRM settings file so that the CiviCRM extension directory is set using settings files variables. Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use $civicrm_setting variable to over-ride your CiviCRM settings. You can find documentation here.

To set extension directory you can use below snippet

global $civicrm_setting;
$civicrm_setting['Directory Preferences']['extensionsDir'] = '/var/www/html/trcbtp/drupal/sites/default/civicrm_extensions';

You can also use civicrm token variable for dynamic path

1. [cms.root]
2. [civicrm.root]
3. [civicrm.files]
