+[b]Advanced Configurations for Administrators[/b]
+
+RedMatrix contains many configuration options hidden from the main admin panel.
+These are generally options considered too niche, confusing, or advanced for
+the average member. These settings can be activated from the the top level Red
+directory with the syntax [code]util/config cat key value[/code] for a site
+configuration, or [code]util/pconfig channel_id cat key value[/code] for a
+member configuration.
+
+This document assumes you're an administrator.
+
+[b]pconfig[/b]
+ [b]system > user_scalable[/b]
+ Determine if the app is scalable on touch screens. Defaults to on, to
+ disable, set to zero - real zero, not just false.
+ [b]system > always_my_theme[/b]
+ Always use your own theme when viewing channels on the same hub. This
+ will break in some quite imaginative ways when viewing channels with
+ theme dependent Comanche.
+ [b]system > paranoia[/b]
+ Sets the security level of IP checking. If the IP address of a logged-in session changes
+ apply this level to determine if the account should be logged out as a security breach.
+ Options are:
+ 0 - no IP checking
+ 1 - check 3 octets
+ 2 - check 2 octets
+ 3 - check for any difference at all
+ [b]system > prevent_tag_hijacking[/b]
+ Prevent foreign networks hijacking hashtags in your posts and directing them at its own resources.
+ [b]system > blocked[/b]
+ An array of xchans blocked by this channel. Technically, this is a
+ hidden config and does belong here, however, addons (notably
+ superblock) have made this available in the UI.
+ [b]system > default_cipher[/b]
+ Set the default cipher used for E2EE items.
+ [b]system > network_page_default[/b]
+ Set default params when viewing the network page. This should contain
+ the same querystring as manual filtering.
+ [b]system > display_friend_count[/b]
+ Set the number of connections to display in the connections profile
+ widget.
+ [b]system > taganyone[/b]
+ Requires the config of the same name to be enabled. Allow the @mention tagging
+ of anyone, whether you are connected or not. This doesn't scale.
+ [b]system > startpage[/b]
+ Another of those technically hidden configs made available by addons.
+ Sets the default page to view when logging in. This is exposed to the
+ UI by the startpage addon.
+ [b]system > forcepublicuploads[/b]
+ Force uploaded photos to be public when uploaded as wall items. It
+ makes far more sense to just set your permissions properly in the first
+ place. Do that instead.
+ [b]system > do_not_track[/b]
+ As the browser header. This will break many identity based features.
+ You should really just set permissions that make sense.
+
+[b]Site config[/b]
+ [b]system > taganyone[/b]
+ Allow the @mention tagging of anyone whether you are connected or not.
+ [b]system > directorytags[/b]
+ Set the number of keyword tags displayed on the directory page.
+ [b]system > startpage[/b]
+ Set the default page to be taken to after a login for all channels at
+ this website. Can be overwritten by user settings.
+ [b]system > projecthome[/b]
+ Set the project homepage as the homepage of your hub.
+ [b]system > workflowchannelnext[/b]
+ The page to direct users to immediately after creating a channel.
+ [b]system > max_daily_registrations[/b]
+ Set the maximum number of new registrations allowed on any day.
+ Useful to prevent oversubscription after a bout of publicity
+ for the project.
+ [b]system > tos_url[/b]
+ Set an alternative link for the ToS location.
+ [b]system > block_public_search[/b]
+ Similar to block_public, except only blocks public access to
+ search features. Useful for sites that want to be public, but
+ keep getting hammered by search engines.
+ [b]system > paranoia[/b]
+ As the pconfig, but on a site-wide basis. Can be overwritten
+ by member settings.
+ [b]system > openssl_conf_file[/b]
+ Specify a file containing OpenSSL configuration. Read the code first.
+ If you can't read the code, don't play with it.
+ [b]system > optimize_items[/b]
+ Runs optimise_table during some tasks to keep your database nice and
+ defragmented. This comes at a performance cost while the operations
+ are running, but also keeps things a bit faster while it's not.
+ There also exist CLI utilities for performing this operation, which you
+ may prefer, especially if you're a large site.
+ [b]system > default_expire_days[/b]
+ When creating a new channel, set the default expiration of connections
+ posts to this number of days.
+ [b]system > dlogfile[/b]
+ Logfile to use for logging development errors. Exactly the same as
+ logger otherwise. This isn't magic, and requires your own logging
+ statements. Developer tool.
+ [b]system > authlog[/b]
+ Logfile to use for logging auth errors. Used to plug in to server
+ side software such as fail2ban. Auth failures are still logged to
+ the main logs as well.
+ [b]system > hide_in_statistics[/b]
+ Tell the red statistics servers to completely hide this hub in hub lists.
+ [b]system > reserved_channels[/b]
+ Don't allow members to register channels with this comma separated
+ list of names (no spaces)
+ [b]system > auto_follow[/b]
+ Make the first channel of an account auto-follow channels listed here - comma separated list of webbies (member@hub addresses).
+ [b]system > admin_email[/b]
+ Specifies the administrators email for this site. This is initially set during install.
+ [b]system > cron_hour[/b]
+ Specify an hour in which to run cron_daily. By default with no config, this will run at midnight UTC.
+ [b]system > minimum_feedcheck_minutes[/b]
+ The minimum interval between polling RSS feeds. If this is lower than the cron interval, feeds will be polled with each cronjob
+ [b]system > blacklisted_sites[/b]
+ An array of specific hubs to block from this hub completely.
+ [b]system > ignore_imagick[/b]
+ Ignore imagick and use GD, even if imagick is installed on the server. Prevents some issues with PNG files in older versions of imagick.
+ [b]system > no_age_restriction[/b]
+ Do not restric registration to people over the age of 13
+ [b]system > override_poll_lockfile[/b]
+ Ignore the lock file in the poller process to allow more than one process to run at a time.
+ [b]system > projecthome[/b]
+ Display the project page on your home page for logged out viewers.
+ [b]system > sellpage[/b]
+ A URL shown in the public sites list to sell your hub - display service classes, etc.
