Coffee Break Code - Quick Examples I've been migrating some Geeklog sites around lately and I was getting frustrated while changing config values between domains, databases, etc. I had been using Tony Bibb's migration script but it doesn't include some of the settings I wanted to change, and I'm a sucker for eye candy.  I created a new tool and have been using it. I think it's pretty stable but if you use it PLEASE make a backup first.

I know site migration was built into 1.6.x but I'm still dealing with 1.5.x sites.

Feel free to download it if you feel it would be useful:
configurator.tar

Features:
- Uses lib-common so there's no configuration for the database.
- It's one file you can drop into your public_html folder (images are embedded).
- You can choose and edit any text based config value in the database.
- Find and replace for quick path and url corrections.
- AJAX Based jQuery UI

Warnings:
- This code doesn't filter any of the input you give from the form. It's meant to be used once by an admin/developer.
- DELETE THE SCRIPT once you're done, or risk someone taking your site offline.
