### Registration
+#### Register policy
+
+With this drop down selector you can set the nodes registration policy.
+You can chose between the following modes:
+
+* **open**: Everybody can register a new account and start using it right away.
+* **requires approval**: Everybody can register a new account, but the admin has to approve it before it can be used.
+* **closed**: No new registrations are possible.
+
+##### Invitation based registry
+
+Additionally to the setting in the admin panel, you can devide if registrations are only possible using an invitation code or not.
+To enable invitation based registration, you have to set the `invitation_only` setting in the [config/local.ini.php](/help/Config) file.
+If you want to use this method, the registration policy has to be set to either *open* or *requires approval*.

Default is false.
Available in version 2.2 or greater.
+#### Community pages for Visitors
+
+The community pages show all public postings, separated by their origin being local or the entire network.
+With this setting you can select which community pages will be shown to visitors of your Friendica node.
+Your local users will always have access to both pages.
+
+**Note**: Several settings, like users hiding their contacts from the public will prevent the postings to show up on the global community page.
+
#### Allowed Friend Domains
Comma separated list of domains which are allowed to establish friendships with this site.
#### Allow Users to set remote_self
-If you enable the `Allow Users to set remote_self` users can select Atom feeds from their contact list being their *remote self* in die advanced contact settings.
+If you enable the `Allow Users to set remote_self` users can select Atom feeds from their contact list being their *remote self* in the advanced contact settings.
Which means that postings by the remote self are automatically reposted by Friendica in their names.
This feature can be used to let the user mirror e.g. blog postings into their Friendica postings.
As admin of the node you can also set this flag directly in the database.
Before doing so, you should be sure you know what you do and have a backup of the database.
+#### Explicit Content
+
+If you are running a node with explicit content, you can announce this with this option.
+When checked an information flag will be set in the published information about your node.
+(Should *Publish Server Information* be enabled.)
+
+Additionally a note will be displayed on the registration page for new users.
+
### Advanced
#### Proxy Configuration Settings
If you wish, you can turn on strict certificate checking.
This will mean you cannot connect (at all) to self-signed SSL sites.
+#### Check upstream version
+
+If this option is enabled your Friendica node will check the upstream version once per day from the github repository.
+You can select if the stable version or the development version should be checked out.
+If there is a new version published, you will get notified in the admin panel summary page.

### Auto Discovered Contact Directory

The password for the new account will be send by email to the choosen email address.
-## Plugins
+## Addons
This page is for selecting and configuration of extensions for Friendica which have to be placed into the `/addon` subdirectory of your Friendica installation.
You are presented with a long list of available addons.
Also shown is the version of the addon and an indicator if the addon is currently active or not.
When you update your node and the addons they may have to be reloaded.
-To simplify this process there is a button at the top of the page to reload all active plugins.

## Themes
-The Themes section of the admin panel works similar to the Plugins section but let you control the themes on your Friendica node.
-Each theme has a dedicated suppage showing the current status, some information about the theme and a screen-shot of the Friendica interface using the theme.
+The Themes section of the admin panel works similar to the Addons section but let you control the themes on your Friendica node.
+Each theme has a dedicated subpage showing the current status, some information about the theme and a screen-shot of the Friendica interface using the theme.
Should the theme offer special settings, admins can set a global default value here.
You can activate and deactivate themes on their dedicated sub-pages thus making them available for the users of the node.
Don't panic!
Friendica will not queue messages for all time but will sort out *dead* nodes automatically after a while and remove messages from the queue then.
+## Server Blocklist
+
+This page allows to block all communications (inbound and outbound) with a specific domain name.
+Each blocked domain entry requires a reason that will be displayed on the [friendica](/friendica) page.
+Matching is exact, blocking a domain doesn't block subdomains.
+
## Federation Statistics
The federation statistics page gives you a short summery of the nodes/servers/pods of the decentralized social network federation your node knows.
These numbers are not compleate and only contain nodes from networks Friendica federates directly with.
-## Plugin Features
+## Delete Item
+
+Using this page an admin can delete postings and eventually associated discussion threads from their Friendica node.
+To do so, they need to know the GUID of the posting.
+This can be found on the `/display` page of the posting, it is the last part of the URL displayed in the browsers navigation bar.
+You can get to the `/display` page by following the *Link to source*.
+
+## Addon Features
Some of the addons you can install for your Friendica node have settings which have to be set by the admin.
All those addons will be listed in this area of the admin panels side bar with their names.
**Known Issues**: The filename ``friendica.log`` can cause problems depending on your server configuration (see [issue 2209](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/2209)).
By default PHP warnings and error messages are supressed.
-If you want to enable those, you have to activate them in the ``.htconfig.php`` file.
+If you want to enable those, you have to activate them in the ``config/local.ini.php`` file.
Use the following settings to redirect PHP errors to a file.
Config:
But you can expand the list of email addresses by any used email address you want.
Registration of new accounts with a listed email address is not possible.
- $a->config['admin_email'] = 'you@example.com, buddy@example.com';
+ [config]
+ admin_email = you@example.com, buddy@example.com
## PHP Path
Some of Friendicas processes are running in the background.
For this you need to specify the path to the PHP binary to be used.
- $a->config['php_path'] = '{{$phpath}}';
+ [config]
+ php_path = {{$phpath}}
## Subdirectory configuration
It is possible to install Friendica into a subdirectory of your webserver.
-We strongly discurage you from doing so, as this will break federation to other networks (e.g. Diaspora, GNU Socia, Hubzilla)
+We strongly discourage you from doing so, as this will break federation to other networks (e.g. Diaspora, GNU Socia, Hubzilla)
Say you have a subdirectory for tests and put Friendica into a further subdirectory, the config would be:
- $a->path = 'tests/friendica';
+ [system]
+ urlpath = tests/friendica
## Other exceptions
-Furthermore there are some experimental settings, you can read-up in the [Config values that can only be set in .htconfig.php](help/htconfig) section of the documentation.
