All user settings in database

I am real enthusiastic about PHPWCMS. Only the upgrade of the files gives me sometimes some frustrating moments.

At this moment, some settings are set within files at the server. I would like to have as much as possible settings in the database (except the database, user and password offcourse), but I know it is not done easy.

Is it possible to put all the files you change in a special folder, so I can delete all the files with FTP (except the special folder) and put the new release files up.

Is this possible? Now I had much problems with upgrading (the new features where so cool!).

Other option is to deliver an upgrade document where the average user is pointed at the specific files you have to backup before upgrading.

Normally, you should know which files you have changed and which not... It should be sufficient to backup the inc_conf folder - the rest can be overwritten, if I am not wrong - files you have added yourself will not be affected in an upgrade...

Whit what did you especially have problems?
