FAQ
I've just started to experiment properly with HTML::FormFu, while things are
brand new I'll see if I can help with some documentation improvements. So,
first question - how does load_config_file determine the base dir and what
does it default to? The HTML::FormFu docs don't seem to mention it, IMO this
should be clearly explained under load_config_file.

Also, I've found the cookbook modules for Catalyst and DBIx::Class very
useful in the past. As FormFu is currently brand new to me it struck me that
it might be good to start on HTML::FormFu::Cookbook to help make things
easier for other new users. Sound like a good idea? If so, please sort out
project membership for this email address and I'll get on with it.

    ok, you've now got commit access to svn.

    You'll need to checkout using the HTTPS url:
    https://html-formfu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HTML-FormFu/
    ( the other dists are also under trunk/ )

    I think you'll also need your separate googlecode password - you
    should be able to get it here:
    http://code.google.com/hosting/settings

    Thanks!

    load_config_file is defined in ObjectUtil.pm

    It uses Config::Any->load_files( { files => [$file], ..} to load the files.
    So it looks relatie from the apps basepath, in Catalyst you use 'root/...'

    I've updated the 'load_config_file' docs with the following:

    Like perl's C<open> function, relative-paths are resolved from
    the current working directory.

    If you're using the C<FormConfig> action controller in
    L<Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu>, see
    L<config_file_path|Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu/config_file_path>.

    Thanks,
    Carl

    As I just found out (see my other email) we are running into a problem.

    load_config_file inside of that config doesn't now anything about
    config_file_path.

    What do you think of creating a base_path attribute that is prepended (if
    defined) to the filenames when 'load_config_file' tries to open a config.

    Greets,
