[dev] Exclude preferences from being stored

[mail at pBartels.info]

I submitted a patch: http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8284

mail at pBartels.info:

> I think its not that easy but also not very hard.
>
> setValue() doesn't store the data, the data are stored in the store()
> implementation of the Driver. store() is registered as a shutdown
> function.
>
> You want to use setValue and its code because it also updates the cache.
> The data are one time at the login queried and cached. After this
> setValue is used to work on the cache. (As I understood it so far.) The
> templates that generates the UI uses getValue to get values from the
> cache. And by the way store is called after each script call to store
> the dirty preferences into the backend. Dirty preferences are changes
> but not stored prefs.
>
> But working a bit around with setDirty and if it works correctly you
> could handle a 'save' or 'store' setting in _setValue() in
> horde/lib/Horde/Prefs.php and not set the pref dirty if a special flag
> is set.
>
> I didn't do this because I wanted to keep the changes simple (in my
> files) but as I think of it this could work in general. But just in
> theory. I had the last hours problems with this preferences stuff and I
> think new problems would occour ;)

> And I'm neither deeply familiar with it.
