provide a Soft-Mode

[alfredbez]

Problem

Sometimes we have changes made in the OXID Backend which are overwritten via the config-import.

Idea

I think it would be very useful if we have some kind of a soft mode, which checks if the config changed since the last export.

---

There are several ways to do this:

a) Check OXTIMESTAMP field:

• Save timestamp on export
  -> in yaml-files or in a db-table?
• php oxid config:import checks if there are changes since the last timestamp

b) Compare exports

• make an tmp-export
• compare tmp-export to export

possible Module-options

Parameter	Description
enableSoftMode	enables the Soft-Mode and output warnings if config in configurations folder is outdated
logOverwrittenConfigs	writes changed config values (diff) to yaml-file
dontOverwrite	do not import if configurations folder is outdated (you need to update the configurations folder and do an import again
