Removing getProfileString from Galleon

I'm working on a small personal project at the moment and didnt want to pay out on hosting which i've just realised has been a bad idea! Why? because I cannot use get & set profileString. Now this isn't usually a problem as I never use them but Galleon does to read the ini file.

Luckily the solution has been easy to resolve. In the galleon.cfc I edited the getSetting() method and for now hard coded in the struct. My method now looks like:

<cffunction name="getSettings" access="public" returnType="struct" output="false"
            hint="Returns application settings as a structure.">

    <cfset var r = structNew()>

    <cfscript>
        r['dsn'] = "myDSN";
        r['perpage'] = "20";
        r['fromAddress'] = "admin@myDomain.net";
        r['rootURL'] = "http://myDomain.net/forums/";
        r['sendonpost'] = "admin@myDomain.net";
        r['dbtype'] = "mysql";
        r['tableprefix'] = "galleon_";
        r['version'] = "1.7.006";
        r['requireconfirmation'] = "true";
        r['title'] = "LAYL Forums";
        r['fullemails'] = "true";
        r['encryptpasswords'] = "false";
        r['allowgravatars'] = "true";
        r['safeExtensions'] = "zip,tar,jpg,gif,png,wpd,doc,pdf,xls,ppt,txt,odt";
    </cfscript>


    <cfreturn r>

</cffunction>

Hopefully in the future I'll change Rays ini file for an XML one and refactor getSettings()
