Re: [Tiki-devel] GlitchTip, an error reporting tool

Actions can be initialized upon preference changes. Create a “flag file” or remove the “flag file” when the preference is created. Then check for the file to initialize.

This also ties into the creation of a tiki preference file. There seems to be a real need for it. We currently have a lock file, and now also “super admin” actions that require a file. We have our database configuration as well. This should be a line in that file somewhere. Ideally, that is.

My 3 cents.

Basically, to GlitchTip catch errors on PHP side we would need to add a library[2] and initialize the API as soon as possible, probably in tiki-setup or tiki-setup_base. Also, we need to keep somewhere the DSN code. If we store as preference, then that means the GlitchTip initialization will happen after loading preferences, and errors before that will not appear.
