Right now the function 'GetTableName' adds the database prefix to all tables other than the user table. I integrated Vanilla into a CMS and had to monkey patch this function to prevent the prefix from attaching to the "Role" table. Would it be possible to have a setting that takes a list of tables to skip the prefix and set it to 'User' by default?

Example configuration:


// conf/settings.php
$Configuration['NO_PREFIX'] = array('User','Role');


Then "Framework.Functions->GetTableName()" could look like this


function GetTableName($Key, &$TableCollection, $Prefix) {
// Current code
// if ($Key == "User") {
////

if (in_array($Key, $Configuration['NO_PREFIX']) {
return $TableCollection[$Key];
} else {
return $Prefix.$TableCollection[$Key];
}


The Drupal integration also did a similar patch.

You know, one way to work around this would be to have a blank prefix set in the configuration, then put the prefix manually on the table names in the configuration as needed.
