+ [*= system.network_page_default ] Set default params when viewing the network page. This should contain the same querystring as manual filtering.

- Set the number of keyword tags displayed on the directory page. Default is 50 unless set to a
- positive integer.

- [b]system.auto_channel_create[/b]
- Add the necessary form elements to create the first channel on the account registration page, and create it

- Use with system.default_permissions_role to streamline registration.
- [b]system.default_permissions_role[/b]
- If set to a valid permissions role name, use that role for
- the first channel created by a new account and don't ask for the "Channel Type" on
- the channel creation form. Examples of valid names are: 'social', 'social_restricted', 'social_private',

- Read more about permissions roles [zrl=[baseurl]/help/roles]here[/zrl].
- [b]system.default_photo_profile[/b]
- Set the profile photo that new channels start with. This should contain the name of a directory located

- [b]system.workflow_channel_next[/b]
- The page to direct new members to immediately after creating a channel.

- 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.proc_run_use_exec[/b]
- If 1, use the exec system call in proc_run to run background tasks. By default
- we use proc_open and proc_close. On some (currently rare) systems this does not work well.
- [b]system.paranoia[/b]
- As the pconfig, but on a site-wide basis. Can be overwritten
- by member settings.
- [b]system.transport_security_header[/b]
- if non-zero and SSL is being used, include a strict-transport-security header on webpages
- [b]system.poke_basic[/b]
- Reduce the number of poke verbs to exactly 1 ("poke"). Disable other verbs.
- [b]system.openssl_conf_file[/b]
- Specify a file containing OpenSSL configuration. Needed in some Windows installations to
- locate the openssl configuration file on the system.
- 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.expire_limit[/b]
- Don't expire any more than this number of posts per channel per
- expiration run to keep from exhausting memory. Default 5000.
- [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 administrator's 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. Defaults to 60 if not set. The site setting can also be over-ridden
- on a channel by channel basis by a service class setting aptly named 'minimum_feedcheck_minutes'.
- [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 restrict registration to people over the age of 13. This carries legal responsibilities in
- many countries to require that age be provided and to block all personal information from minors,
- so please check your local laws before changing.
- [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]

- [b]system.sellpage[/b]
- A URL shown in the public sites list to sell your hub - display service classes, etc.

- [b]randprofile.retry[/b]
- Number of times to retry getting a random profile
- [b]system.photo_cache_time[/b]
- How long to cache photos, in seconds. Default is 86400 (1 day).
- Longer time increases performance, but it also means it takes longer for changed permissions to apply.
- [b]system.poco_rating_enable[/b]
- Distributed reputation reporting and data collection may be disabled. If your site does not participate
- in distributed reputation you will also not be able to make use of the data from your connections on
- other sites. By default and in the absence of any setting it is enabled. Individual members can opt out
- by restricting who can see their connections or by not providing any reputation information for their
- connections.
- [b]system.register_link[/b]
- path to direct to from the "register" link on the login form. On closed sites this will direct to
- 'pubsites'. For open sites it will normally redirect to 'register' but you may change this to a
- custom site page offering subscriptions or whatever.
- [b]system.max_import_size[/b]
- If configured, the maximum length of an imported text message. This is normally left at 200Kbytes
- or more to accomodate Friendica private photos, which are embedded.

- [b]system.hide_help[/b]
- Don't display help documentation link in nav bar
- [b]system.expire_delivery_reports[/b]
- Expiration in days for delivery reports - default 10
- [b]system.platform_name[/b] *
- What to report as the platform name in webpages and statistics. (*) Must be set in .htconfig.php
- [b]system.hide_version[/b] *
- If true, do not report the software version on webpages and tools. (*) Must be set in .htconfig.php
- [b]system.hidden_version_siteinfo[/b]

- the version on these pages, this setting *only* hides the version on siteinfo pages).
- [b]system.email_notify_icon_url[/b]
- URL of image (32x32) to display in email notifications (HTML bodies).
-
-[b]Directory config[/b]
-[b]Directory search defaults[/b]
- [b]directory.safemode[/b]
- 0 or 1.
- [b]directory.globaldir[/b]
- 0 or 1. Default 0. If you visit the directory on a site you'll just see the members of that site by default. You have to go through an extra step to see the people in the rest of the network; and by doing so there's a clear delineation that these people *aren't* members of that site but of a larger network.
- [b]directory.pubforums[/b]
- 0 or 1. Public forums *should* be default 0.

Permissions in the $Projectname are more complete than you may be used to.

[b]Default Permissions[/b]
On your settings page, you will find a list of default permissions. These permissions are automatically applied to everybody unless you specify otherwise. The scope of these permissions varies from "Only me" to "Everybody" - though some scopes may not be available for some permissions. For example, you can't allow "anybody on the internet" to send you private messages, because we'd have no way to identify the sender, therefore no way to reply to them.

A more useful privacy setup is to leave "public" items visible to anybody on the internet; but force everything you create to be restricted. This can be done on your Channel Settings page by selecting the role "Social - restricted". This ensures a Default Privacy Group for all new contacts, and sets your Default Post Permissions to restrict all your posts to that group. We use the Default Post Permissions for everything you create - posts, photos, events, webpages, and everything else. However you can then edit the permissions when you create any individual thing and remove your default privacy group to make just that item visible to anybody.
