- $config['section']['option'] = value;
-
-For brevity, the following documentation describes each section and
-option.
-
-site
-----
-
-This section is a catch-all for site-wide variables.
-
-name: the name of your site, like 'YourCompany Microblog'.
-server: the server part of your site's URLs, like 'example.net'.
-path: The path part of your site's URLs, like 'statusnet' or ''
- (installed in root).
-fancy: whether or not your site uses fancy URLs (see Fancy URLs
- section above). Default is false.
-logfile: full path to a file for StatusNet to save logging
- information to. You may want to use this if you don't have
- access to syslog.
-logdebug: whether to log additional debug info like backtraces on
- hard errors. Default false.
-locale_path: full path to the directory for locale data. Unless you
- store all your locale data in one place, you probably
- don't need to use this.
-language: default language for your site. Defaults to US English.
- Note that this is overridden if a user is logged in and has
- selected a different language. It is also overridden if the
- user is NOT logged in, but their browser requests a different
- langauge. Since pretty much everybody's browser requests a
- language, that means that changing this setting has little or
- no effect in practice.
-languages: A list of languages supported on your site. Typically you'd
- only change this if you wanted to disable support for one
- or another language:
- "unset($config['site']['languages']['de'])" will disable
- support for German.
-theme: Theme for your site (see Theme section). Two themes are
- provided by default: 'default' and 'stoica' (the one used by
- Identi.ca). It's appreciated if you don't use the 'stoica' theme
- except as the basis for your own.
-email: contact email address for your site. By default, it's extracted
- from your Web server environment; you may want to customize it.
-broughtbyurl: name of an organization or individual who provides the
- service. Each page will include a link to this name in the
- footer. A good way to link to the blog, forum, wiki,
- corporate portal, or whoever is making the service available.
-broughtby: text used for the "brought by" link.
-timezone: default timezone for message display. Users can set their
- own time zone. Defaults to 'UTC', which is a pretty good default.
-closed: If set to 'true', will disallow registration on your site.
- This is a cheap way to restrict accounts to only one
- individual or group; just register the accounts you want on
- the service, *then* set this variable to 'true'.
-inviteonly: If set to 'true', will only allow registration if the user
- was invited by an existing user.
-private: If set to 'true', anonymous users will be redirected to the
- 'login' page. Also, API methods that normally require no
- authentication will require it. Note that this does not turn
- off registration; use 'closed' or 'inviteonly' for the
- behaviour you want.
-notice: A plain string that will appear on every page. A good place
- to put introductory information about your service, or info about
- upgrades and outages, or other community info. Any HTML will
- be escaped.
-logo: URL of an image file to use as the logo for the site. Overrides
- the logo in the theme, if any.
-ssllogo: URL of an image file to use as the logo on SSL pages. If unset,
- theme logo is used instead.
-ssl: Whether to use SSL and https:// URLs for some or all pages.
- Possible values are 'always' (use it for all pages), 'never'
- (don't use it for any pages), or 'sometimes' (use it for
- sensitive pages that include passwords like login and registration,
- but not for regular pages). Default to 'never'.
-sslserver: use an alternate server name for SSL URLs, like
- 'secure.example.org'. You should be careful to set cookie
- parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
- "normal" server can access the session cookie and
- preferably other cookies as well.
-shorturllength: Length of URL at which URLs in a message exceeding 140
- characters will be sent to the user's chosen
- shortening service.
-dupelimit: minimum time allowed for one person to say the same thing
- twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user
- or UI error.
-textlimit: default max size for texts in the site. Defaults to 140.
- 0 means no limit. Can be fine-tuned for notices, messages,
- profile bios and group descriptions.
-
-db
---
-
-This section is a reference to the configuration options for
-DB_DataObject (see <http://ur1.ca/7xp>). The ones that you may want to
-set are listed below for clarity.
-
-database: a DSN (Data Source Name) for your StatusNet database. This is
- in the format 'protocol://username:password@hostname/databasename',
- where 'protocol' is 'mysql' or 'mysqli' (or possibly 'postgresql', if you
- really know what you're doing), 'username' is the username,
- 'password' is the password, and etc.
-ini_yourdbname: if your database is not named 'statusnet', you'll need
- to set this to point to the location of the
- statusnet.ini file. Note that the real name of your database
- should go in there, not literally 'yourdbname'.
-db_driver: You can try changing this to 'MDB2' to use the other driver
- type for DB_DataObject, but note that it breaks the OpenID
- libraries, which only support PEAR::DB.
-debug: On a database error, you may get a message saying to set this
- value to 5 to see debug messages in the browser. This breaks
- just about all pages, and will also expose the username and
- password
-quote_identifiers: Set this to true if you're using postgresql.
-type: either 'mysql' or 'postgresql' (used for some bits of
- database-type-specific SQL in the code). Defaults to mysql.
-mirror: you can set this to an array of DSNs, like the above
- 'database' value. If it's set, certain read-only actions will
- use a random value out of this array for the database, rather
- than the one in 'database' (actually, 'database' is overwritten).
- You can offload a busy DB server by setting up MySQL replication
- and adding the slaves to this array. Note that if you want some
- requests to go to the 'database' (master) server, you'll need
- to include it in this array, too.
-utf8: whether to talk to the database in UTF-8 mode. This is the default
- with new installations, but older sites may want to turn it off
- until they get their databases fixed up. See "UTF-8 database"
- above for details.
-schemacheck: when to let plugins check the database schema to add
- tables or update them. Values can be 'runtime' (default)
- or 'script'. 'runtime' can be costly (plugins check the
- schema on every hit, adding potentially several db
- queries, some quite long), but not everyone knows how to
- run a script. If you can, set this to 'script' and run
- scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install or upgrade a
- plugin.
-
-syslog
-------
-
-By default, StatusNet sites log error messages to the syslog facility.
-(You can override this using the 'logfile' parameter described above).
-
-appname: The name that StatusNet uses to log messages. By default it's
- "statusnet", but if you have more than one installation on the
- server, you may want to change the name for each instance so
- you can track log messages more easily.
-priority: level to log at. Currently ignored.
-facility: what syslog facility to used. Defaults to LOG_USER, only
- reset if you know what syslog is and have a good reason
- to change it.
-
-queue
------
-
-You can configure the software to queue time-consuming tasks, like
-sending out SMS email or XMPP messages, for off-line processing. See
-'Queues and daemons' above for how to set this up.
-
-enabled: Whether to uses queues. Defaults to false.
-subsystem: Which kind of queueserver to use. Values include "db" for
- our hacked-together database queuing (no other server
- required) and "stomp" for a stomp server.
-stomp_server: "broker URI" for stomp server. Something like
- "tcp://hostname:61613". More complicated ones are
- possible; see your stomp server's documentation for
- details.
-queue_basename: a root name to use for queues (stomp only). Typically
- something like '/queue/sitename/' makes sense. If running
- multiple instances on the same server, make sure that
- either this setting or $config['site']['nickname'] are
- unique for each site to keep them separate.
-
-stomp_username: username for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
- to null.
-stomp_password: password for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
- to null.
-
-stomp_persistent: keep items across queue server restart, if enabled.
- Under ActiveMQ, the server configuration determines if and how
- persistent storage is actually saved.
-
- If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
- need to disable this if it does not support persistence.
-
-stomp_transactions: use transactions to aid in error detection.
- A broken transaction will be seen quickly, allowing a message
- to be redelivered immediately if a daemon crashes.
-
- If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
- need to disable this if it does not support transactions.
-
-stomp_acks: send acknowledgements to aid in flow control.
- An acknowledgement of successful processing tells the server
- we're ready for more and can help keep things moving smoothly.
-
- This should *not* be turned off when running with ActiveMQ, but
- if using another message queue server that does not support
- acknowledgements you might need to disable this.
-
-softlimit: an absolute or relative "soft memory limit"; daemons will
- restart themselves gracefully when they find they've hit
- this amount of memory usage. Defaults to 90% of PHP's global
- memory_limit setting.
-
-inboxes: delivery of messages to receiver's inboxes can be delayed to
- queue time for best interactive performance on the sender.
- This may however be annoyingly slow when using the DB queues,
- so you can set this to false if it's causing trouble.
-
-breakout: for stomp, individual queues are by default grouped up for
- best scalability. If some need to be run by separate daemons,
- etc they can be manually adjusted here.
-
- Default will share all queues for all sites within each group.
- Specify as <group>/<queue> or <group>/<queue>/<site>,
- using nickname identifier as site.
-
- 'main/distrib' separate "distrib" queue covering all sites
- 'xmpp/xmppout/mysite' separate "xmppout" queue covering just 'mysite'
-
-max_retries: for stomp, drop messages after N failed attempts to process.
- Defaults to 10.
-
-dead_letter_dir: for stomp, optional directory to dump data on failed
- queue processing events after discarding them.
-
-stomp_no_transactions: for stomp, the server does not support transactions,
- so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
-
-stomp_no_acks: for stomp, the server does not support acknowledgements.
- so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
-
-license
--------
-
-The default license to use for your users notices. The default is the
-Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which is probably the right
-choice for any public site. Note that some other servers will not
-accept notices if you apply a stricter license than this.
-
-type: one of 'cc' (for Creative Commons licenses), 'allrightsreserved'
- (default copyright), or 'private' (for private and confidential
- information).
-owner: for 'allrightsreserved' or 'private', an assigned copyright
- holder (for example, an employer for a private site). If
- not specified, will be attributed to 'contributors'.
-url: URL of the license, used for links.
-title: Title for the license, like 'Creative Commons Attribution 3.0'.
-image: A button shown on each page for the license.
-
-mail
-----
-
-This is for configuring out-going email. We use PEAR's Mail module,
-see: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
-
-backend: the backend to use for mail, one of 'mail', 'sendmail', and
- 'smtp'. Defaults to PEAR's default, 'mail'.
-params: if the mail backend requires any parameters, you can provide
- them in an associative array.
-
-nickname
---------
-
-This is for configuring nicknames in the service.
-
-blacklist: an array of strings for usernames that may not be
- registered. A default array exists for strings that are
- used by StatusNet (e.g. 'doc', 'main', 'avatar', 'theme')
- but you may want to add others if you have other software
- installed in a subdirectory of StatusNet or if you just
- don't want certain words used as usernames.
-featured: an array of nicknames of 'featured' users of the site.
- Can be useful to draw attention to well-known users, or
- interesting people, or whatever.
-
-avatar
-------
-
-For configuring avatar access.
-
-dir: Directory to look for avatar files and to put them into.
- Defaults to avatar subdirectory of install directory; if
- you change it, make sure to change path, too.
-path: Path to avatars. Defaults to path for avatar subdirectory,
- but you can change it if you wish. Note that this will
- be included with the avatar server, too.
-server: If set, defines another server where avatars are stored in the
- root directory. Note that the 'avatar' subdir still has to be
- writeable. You'd typically use this to split HTTP requests on
- the client to speed up page loading, either with another
- virtual server or with an NFS or SAMBA share. Clients
- typically only make 2 connections to a single server at a
- time <http://ur1.ca/6ih>, so this can parallelize the job.
- Defaults to null.
-ssl: Whether to access avatars using HTTPS. Defaults to null, meaning
- to guess based on site-wide SSL settings.
-
-public
-------
-
-For configuring the public stream.
-
-localonly: If set to true, only messages posted by users of this
- service (rather than other services, filtered through OMB)
- are shown in the public stream. Default true.
-blacklist: An array of IDs of users to hide from the public stream.
- Useful if you have someone making excessive Twitterfeed posts
- to the site, other kinds of automated posts, testing bots, etc.
-autosource: Sources of notices that are from automatic posters, and thus
- should be kept off the public timeline. Default empty.
-
-theme
------
-
-server: Like avatars, you can speed up page loading by pointing the
- theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
- Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
-dir: Directory where theme files are stored. Used to determine
- whether to show parts of a theme file. Defaults to the theme
- subdirectory of the install directory.
-path: Path part of theme URLs, before the theme name. Relative to the
- theme server. It may make sense to change this path when upgrading,
- (using version numbers as the path) to make sure that all files are
- reloaded by caching clients or proxies. Defaults to null,
- which means to use the site path + '/theme'.
-ssl: Whether to use SSL for theme elements. Default is null, which means
- guess based on site SSL settings.
-sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
- unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
-sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
-
-javascript
-----------
-
-server: You can speed up page loading by pointing the
- theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
- Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
-path: Path part of Javascript URLs. Defaults to null,
- which means to use the site path + '/js/'.
-ssl: Whether to use SSL for JavaScript files. Default is null, which means
- guess based on site SSL settings.
-sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
- unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
-sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
-
-xmpp
-----
-
-For configuring the XMPP sub-system.
-
-enabled: Whether to accept and send messages by XMPP. Default false.
-server: server part of XMPP ID for update user.
-port: connection port for clients. Default 5222, which you probably
- shouldn't need to change.
-user: username for the client connection. Users will receive messages
- from 'user'@'server'.
-resource: a unique identifier for the connection to the server. This
- is actually used as a prefix for each XMPP component in the system.
-password: password for the user account.
-host: some XMPP domains are served by machines with a different
- hostname. (For example, @gmail.com GTalk users connect to
- talk.google.com). Set this to the correct hostname if that's the
- case with your server.
-encryption: Whether to encrypt the connection between StatusNet and the
- XMPP server. Defaults to true, but you can get
- considerably better performance turning it off if you're
- connecting to a server on the same machine or on a
- protected network.
-debug: if turned on, this will make the XMPP library blurt out all of
- the incoming and outgoing messages as XML stanzas. Use as a
- last resort, and never turn it on if you don't have queues
- enabled, since it will spit out sensitive data to the browser.
-public: an array of JIDs to send _all_ notices to. This is useful for
- participating in third-party search and archiving services.
-
-invite
-------
-
-For configuring invites.
-
-enabled: Whether to allow users to send invites. Default true.
-
-tag
----
-
-Miscellaneous tagging stuff.
-
-dropoff: Decay factor for tag listing, in seconds.
- Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
- with it to try and get better results for your site.
-
-popular
--------
-
-Settings for the "popular" section of the site.
-
-dropoff: Decay factor for popularity listing, in seconds.
- Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
- with it to try and get better results for your site.
-
-daemon
-------
-
-For daemon processes.
-
-piddir: directory that daemon processes should write their PID file
- (process ID) to. Defaults to /var/run/, which is where this
- stuff should usually go on Unix-ish systems.
-user: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective user ID
- to this user before running. Probably a good idea, especially if
- you start the daemons as root. Note: user name, like 'daemon',
- not 1001.
-group: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective group ID
- to this named group. Again, a name, not a numerical ID.
-
-memcached
----------
-
-You can get a significant boost in performance by caching some
-database data in memcached <http://www.danga.com/memcached/>.
-
-enabled: Set to true to enable. Default false.
-server: a string with the hostname of the memcached server. Can also
- be an array of hostnames, if you've got more than one server.
-base: memcached uses key-value pairs to store data. We build long,
- funny-looking keys to make sure we don't have any conflicts. The
- base of the key is usually a simplified version of the site name
- (like "Identi.ca" => "identica"), but you can overwrite this if
- you need to. You can safely ignore it if you only have one
- StatusNet site using your memcached server.
-port: Port to connect to; defaults to 11211.
-
-emailpost
----------
-
-For post-by-email.
-
-enabled: Whether to enable post-by-email. Defaults to true. You will
- also need to set up maildaemon.php.
-
-sms
----
-
-For SMS integration.
-
-enabled: Whether to enable SMS integration. Defaults to true. Queues
- should also be enabled.
-
-integration
------------
-
-A catch-all for integration with other systems.
-
-taguri: base for tag:// URIs. Defaults to site-server + ',2009'.
-
-inboxes
--------
-
-For notice inboxes.
-
-enabled: No longer used. If you set this to something other than true,
- StatusNet will no longer run.
-
-throttle
---------
-
-For notice-posting throttles.
-
-enabled: Whether to throttle posting. Defaults to false.
-count: Each user can make this many posts in 'timespan' seconds. So, if count
- is 100 and timespan is 3600, then there can be only 100 posts
- from a user every hour.
-timespan: see 'count'.
-
-profile
--------
-
-Profile management.
-
-biolimit: max character length of bio; 0 means no limit; null means to use
- the site text limit default.
-
-newuser
--------
-
-Options with new users.
-
-default: nickname of a user account to automatically subscribe new
- users to. Typically this would be system account for e.g.
- service updates or announcements. Users are able to unsub
- if they want. Default is null; no auto subscribe.
-welcome: nickname of a user account that sends welcome messages to new
- users. Can be the same as 'default' account, although on
- busy servers it may be a good idea to keep that one just for
- 'urgent' messages. Default is null; no message.
-
-If either of these special user accounts are specified, the users should
-be created before the configuration is updated.
-
-snapshot
---------
-
-The software will, by default, send statistical snapshots about the
-local installation to a stats server on the status.net Web site. This
-data is used by the developers to prioritize development decisions. No
-identifying data about users or organizations is collected. The data
-is available to the public for review. Participating in this survey
-helps StatusNet developers take your needs into account when updating
-the software.
-
-run: string indicating when to run the statistics. Values can be 'web'
- (run occasionally at Web time), 'cron' (run from a cron script),
- or 'never' (don't ever run). If you set it to 'cron', remember to
- schedule the script to run on a regular basis.
-frequency: if run value is 'web', how often to report statistics.
- Measured in Web hits; depends on how active your site is.
- Default is 10000 -- that is, one report every 10000 Web hits,
- on average.
-reporturl: URL to post statistics to. Defaults to StatusNet developers'
- report system, but if they go evil or disappear you may
- need to update this to another value. Note: if you
- don't want to report stats, it's much better to
- set 'run' to 'never' than to set this value to something
- nonsensical.
-
-attachments
------------
-
-The software lets users upload files with their notices. You can configure
-the types of accepted files by mime types and a trio of quota options:
-per file, per user (total), per user per month.
-
-We suggest the use of the pecl file_info extension to handle mime type
-detection.
-
-supported: an array of mime types you accept to store and distribute,
- like 'image/gif', 'video/mpeg', 'audio/mpeg', etc. Make sure you
- setup your server to properly recognize the types you want to
- support.
-uploads: false to disable uploading files with notices (true by default).
-filecommand: The required MIME_Type library may need to use the 'file'
- command. It tries the one in the Web server's path, but if
- you're having problems with uploads, try setting this to the
- correct value. Note: 'file' must accept '-b' and '-i' options.
-
-For quotas, be sure you've set the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
-in php.ini to be large enough to handle your upload. In httpd.conf
-(if you're using apache), check that the LimitRequestBody directive isn't
-set too low (it's optional, so it may not be there at all).
-
-file_quota: maximum size for a single file upload in bytes. A user can send
- any amount of notices with attachments as long as each attachment
- is smaller than file_quota.
-user_quota: total size in bytes a user can store on this server. Each user
- can store any number of files as long as their total size does
- not exceed the user_quota.
-monthly_quota: total size permitted in the current month. This is the total
- size in bytes that a user can upload each month.
-dir: directory accessible to the Web process where uploads should go.
- Defaults to the 'file' subdirectory of the install directory, which
- should be writeable by the Web user.
-server: server name to use when creating URLs for uploaded files.
- Defaults to null, meaning to use the default Web server. Using
- a virtual server here can speed up Web performance.
-path: URL path, relative to the server, to find files. Defaults to
- main path + '/file/'.
-ssl: whether to use HTTPS for file URLs. Defaults to null, meaning to
- guess based on other SSL settings.
-filecommand: command to use for determining the type of a file. May be
- skipped if fileinfo extension is installed. Defaults to
- '/usr/bin/file'.
-sslserver: if specified, this server will be used when creating HTTPS
- URLs. Otherwise, the site SSL server will be used, with /file/ path.
-sslpath: if this and the sslserver are specified, this path will be used
- when creating HTTPS URLs. Otherwise, the attachments|path value
- will be used.
-
-group
------
-
-Options for group functionality.
-
-maxaliases: maximum number of aliases a group can have. Default 3. Set
- to 0 or less to prevent aliases in a group.
-desclimit: maximum number of characters to allow in group descriptions.
- null (default) means to use the site-wide text limits. 0
- means no limit.
-
-oohembed
---------
-
-oEmbed endpoint for multimedia attachments (links in posts).
-
-endpoint: oohembed endpoint using http://oohembed.com/ software.
-
-search
-------
-
-Some stuff for search.
-
-type: type of search. Ignored if PostgreSQL or Sphinx are enabled. Can either
- be 'fulltext' (default) or 'like'. The former is faster and more efficient
- but requires the lame old MyISAM engine for MySQL. The latter
- will work with InnoDB but could be miserably slow on large
- systems. We'll probably add another type sometime in the future,
- with our own indexing system (maybe like MediaWiki's).
-
-sessions
---------
-
-Session handling.
-
-handle: boolean. Whether we should register our own PHP session-handling
- code (using the database and memcache if enabled). Defaults to false.
- Setting this to true makes some sense on large or multi-server
- sites, but it probably won't hurt for smaller ones, either.
-debug: whether to output debugging info for session storage. Can help
- with weird session bugs, sometimes. Default false.
-
-background
-----------
-
-Users can upload backgrounds for their pages; this section defines
-their use.
-
-server: the server to use for background. Using a separate (even
- virtual) server for this can speed up load times. Default is
- null; same as site server.
-dir: directory to write backgrounds too. Default is '/background/'
- subdir of install dir.
-path: path to backgrounds. Default is sub-path of install path; note
- that you may need to change this if you change site-path too.
-sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
- unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
-sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
-
-ping
-----
-
-Using the "XML-RPC Ping" method initiated by weblogs.com, the site can
-notify third-party servers of updates.
-
-notify: an array of URLs for ping endpoints. Default is the empty
- array (no notification).
-
-design
-------
-
-Default design (colors and background) for the site. Actual appearance
-depends on the theme. Null values mean to use the theme defaults.
-
-backgroundcolor: Hex color of the site background.
-contentcolor: Hex color of the content area background.
-sidebarcolor: Hex color of the sidebar background.
-textcolor: Hex color of all non-link text.
-linkcolor: Hex color of all links.
-backgroundimage: Image to use for the background.
-disposition: Flags for whether or not to tile the background image.
-
-notice
-------
-
-Configuration options specific to notices.
-
-contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a notice.
- Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
- 0 means no limit.
-
-message
--------
-
-Configuration options specific to messages.
-
-contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a message.
- Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
- 0 means no limit.
-
-logincommand
-------------
-
-Configuration options for the login command.
-
-disabled: whether to enable this command. If enabled, users who send
- the text 'login' to the site through any channel will
- receive a link to login to the site automatically in return.
- Possibly useful for users who primarily use an XMPP or SMS
- interface and can't be bothered to remember their site
- password. Note that the security implications of this are
- pretty serious and have not been thoroughly tested. You
- should enable it only after you've convinced yourself that
- it is safe. Default is 'false'.
-
-singleuser
-----------
-
-If an installation has only one user, this can simplify a lot of the
-interface. It also makes the user's profile the root URL.
-
-enabled: Whether to run in "single user mode". Default false.
-nickname: nickname of the single user. If no nickname is specified,
- the site owner account will be used (if present).
-
-robotstxt
----------
-
-We put out a default robots.txt file to guide the processing of
-Web crawlers. See http://www.robotstxt.org/ for more information
-on the format of this file.
-
-crawldelay: if non-empty, this value is provided as the Crawl-Delay:
- for the robots.txt file. see http://ur1.ca/l5a0
- for more information. Default is zero, no explicit delay.
-disallow: Array of (virtual) directories to disallow. Default is 'main',
- 'search', 'message', 'settings', 'admin'. Ignored when site
- is private, in which case the entire site ('/') is disallowed.
-
-api
----
-
-Options for the Twitter-like API.
-
-realm: HTTP Basic Auth realm (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617
- for details). Some third-party tools like ping.fm want this to be
- 'Identi.ca API', so set it to that if you want to. default = null,
- meaning 'something based on the site name'.
-
-nofollow
---------
-
-We optionally put 'rel="nofollow"' on some links in some pages. The
-following configuration settings let you fine-tune how or when things
-are nofollowed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow for more
-information on what 'nofollow' means.
-
-subscribers: whether to nofollow links to subscribers on the profile
- and personal pages. Default is true.
-members: links to members on the group page. Default true.
-peopletag: links to people listed in the peopletag page. Default true.
-external: external links in notices. One of three values: 'sometimes',
- 'always', 'never'. If 'sometimes', then external links are not
- nofollowed on profile, notice, and favorites page. Default is
- 'sometimes'.
-
-Plugins
-=======
-
-Beginning with the 0.7.x branch, StatusNet has supported a simple but
-powerful plugin architecture. Important events in the code are named,
-like 'StartNoticeSave', and other software can register interest
-in those events. When the events happen, the other software is called
-and has a choice of accepting or rejecting the events.
-
-In the simplest case, you can add a function to config.php and use the
-Event::addHandler() function to hook an event:
-
- function AddGoogleLink($action)
- {
- $action->menuItem('http://www.google.com/', _('Google'), _('Search engine'));
- return true;
- }
-
- Event::addHandler('EndPrimaryNav', 'AddGoogleLink');
-
-This adds a menu item to the end of the main navigation menu. You can
-see the list of existing events, and parameters that handlers must
-implement, in EVENTS.txt.
-
-The Plugin class in lib/plugin.php makes it easier to write more
-complex plugins. Sub-classes can just create methods named
-'onEventName', where 'EventName' is the name of the event (case
-matters!). These methods will be automatically registered as event
-handlers by the Plugin constructor (which you must call from your own
-class's constructor).
-
-Several example plugins are included in the plugins/ directory. You
-can enable a plugin with the following line in config.php:
-
- addPlugin('Example', array('param1' => 'value1',
- 'param2' => 'value2'));
-
-This will look for and load files named 'ExamplePlugin.php' or
-'Example/ExamplePlugin.php' either in the plugins/ directory (for
-plugins that ship with StatusNet) or in the local/ directory (for
-plugins you write yourself or that you get from somewhere else) or
-local/plugins/.
-
-Plugins are documented in their own directories.
