New page

=Global Settings=

==Admin Help==
''Help on configuring the site''

This points to this document you are reading now.

==Global Setup==
''Cookies, ban message, admin email, 3rd party add ins, etc.''

* Cookie Domain: ''This is the name used to set cookies on the client machine. Recommend to leave this blank unless you are having problems.''
* Default File Permissions: ''chmod() access mask to use when writing new files. Do not edit this unless you understand UNIX permissions, Apache, PHP CGI mode, etc. Changing this value will affect future writes.''
* Use URL Rewrite Rules: ''Check this if you want to use mod_rewrite for 'pretty' URLs.''
** Note: In order to enable Rewrite rules ('pretty URLs'), you must include the following lines in your Apache configuration (virtual host or .htaccess):
** RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?ccm=/$1 [L,QSA]
* Feed Caching: ''Feed caching can optimize replies for feed requests''
* Number of feed items: ''Number of items to list in feeds (recommended: 15)''
* GetID3 File Verify Enabled: ''Enable/Disbale GetIDE File Verification''
* Path to GetID3 Library: ''Local server path to library (e.g. /usrer/lib/getid3/getid3)''
* Tag ID3v1: ''Tag old style v1 tags as well as v2''
* Registration Confirmation: ''What type of registrations confirmation should the system use.''
* Limit Queries: ''Limit the number of records returned from api/query (0 or blank means unlimited - HINT: that's a bad idea)''
* Search Method: ''Check this to use mysql TEXTINDEX searching''
* Show Google(tm) Search Form: ''Check this to show users a Google search form''
* Enable Reviews: ''Allow users to review uploads''
* Include BPM in Upload Forms: ''
* Run Once: ''Comma separated list of xml files in viewfiles directory that registered users will see once.''
* Allow email notifications: ''Is it ok to allow users get notified on activity on their accounts and others?''
* Allow User Text Formatting: ''Allow users to format text (bold, italic, etc.)''
* Allow Admin Text Formatting: ''Allow admins to format text''

==Manage Page Content==
''Manage special pages and topics''

TODO: Explain what Content Pages/Topics are in the "basics" section
TODO: Explain create a new topic

Here you can Create new Content Pages and new Content Topics.

* Create a new page: ''Some sample properties which you can set for a new page include: Title, Content Type, Layout Style, and Sort By field. You can also set if you want an rss/atom feed made for that page.''
* Create a new Topic: ''describe here''

==Paths==
''Configure where ccHost looks for stuff''
* NOTE: Changing the values here will not move any files around. You are responsible for that and the system will not work until the directories match these values.
* NOTE: Fields with ** need to be set up so that PHP scripts have full write access.

==Forum==
''Configure forums access, groups, etc.''

==Ratings==
''How ratings are calculated, who can rate, etc.''

==Tags==
''Edit tag aliases, reserve tags, counts, etc.''

There are '''system''' tags, '''admin''' tags and '''user''' tags.
* '''User tags''' are entered by anybody doing an upload. They are translated on input (admin controlled translation table so hiphop becomes hip_hop for everybody) and some other rules applied (like minimum length).
* '''Admin''' tags are reserved by the admin so users can't add them - like adding the 'remix' tag to an upload that isn't a remix. Any tag used in a submit form or in the 'Admin' screen for an upload automatically gets this status. We use the 'featured' tag on ccMixter in this way to highlight good a cappellas. 'editorial_pick' is another.
* '''System''' tags are are assigned by code like 'stereo' and other file format related things. Even admins don't have control over these.
