[Owncloud] How to partially predefine OC settings

[Vladimir Sapronov]

Hi again, sorry for bothering with the same question.

Now I'm 100% sure that currently there's no way to keep "Finish Setup"
screen (for entering admin login/pass) and at the same time preset other
parameters from that screen (directory, dbtype, db host, dbname, dbuser,
dbpass).

I would like to provide this possibility and contribute to ownCloud. Could
someone give me some advises here:
1) Does what I want seem useless and even not worthy answering on the email
group?
2) Will such a change be merged to ownCloud master repository if properly
done?
3) There are few ways of making what I want, can anybody on the list
volunteer to discuss ways for improving chances to be merged?

Just once again shortly what I want to achieve: I want my users to see
"Finish Setup" screen on the first run, but I want to preset data folder
and database parameters myself.

How I see this will be used:
1) Admin put some config file (let's say installation-config.php) to config
folder.
2) The config/installation-config.php file might contain data folder
setting or database connection settings or both.
2) The core/templates/installation.php generates controls based on the
installation-config.php file, if there's no installation-config.php then
current "Finish Setup" page will be generated.

Thanks,
Vladimir Sapronov
