template system, with single config file.
I am studying a way that I can create a template system. My thought is that I should have a single file that I can update with links to online config files. The config file would link to graphics, XML config files, URL services…
I can do this in code, I am sure, but is there a best practice for something like this. I thought someone mentioned that having global vars is a big NO. But I dont know why.
Also, assuming that this is a new installation, is there a procedure that is called on load, that I could over ride to download some files at runtime?
