Configuration

This screen let the administrator do basic configuration. Indeed, this screen only shows simple configuration parameters that should be enough for the vast majority of administrators. If you want to see other numerous (and advanced) configuration parameters, read file include/config_default.inc.php.

This screen is divided in several sections, regrouping configuration parameters by theme.
