Mandatory setting for variable uploads_use_yearmonth_folders

[hspaans]

The reasoning behing this patch is to make WordPress shared hosting friendly by using a shared codebase and mandatory settings.

This patch overrules database parameter "uploads_use_yearmonth_folders" and removes the interface option when the following constant is set in wp-config.php:

define('WP_UPLOADS_USE_YEARMONTH_FOLDERS', false);
define('WP_UPLOADS_USE_YEARMONTH_FOLDERS', true);

why not use WPMU?

WPMU doesn't work that well in a shared codebase environment and doesn't meet the requirements.

oh, in that case, use the WP_CONTENT_DIR and the WP_PLUGINS_DIR urls. should do the trick. you get one content dir for all sites and a shared plugins_dir, which is what I assume you want.
