Configuration

The configuration page is the first important step in getting your cms up and running the way you want.

Website Settings

Website Name: This is simply the name of your website. The name is displayed at the top of the admin area in the header and is also used in email messages. CMS URL: The url you enter here is critical to the operation of the cms must point to the main index file for the cms. If you want the run your entire website through the cms then you would need to move the main index.php for the cms out of the cms directory and into the root directory for your website and set this field to match your home page url. eg. http://www.mysite.com/ - You will also need to edit the index.php and change the path so it it is correctly pointing to cms_front.php - You can also rename the cms folder to something else if you want but make sure the CMS URL and path in the main index.php are correct. If you are testing the cms or just want to run just a subsection of your website through the website you can leave the main index.php in your cms folder and make sure the CMS URL field mathes eg. http://www.mysite.com/cms/ - You can also rename the cms folder to something else if you want. Website URL: You should enter URL for your website here. This is used in email messages etc. to direct people to your website. eg. http://www.mysite.com/ Timezone: Set this to your local timezone Website Theme: When you upload a custom theme for your website you can select here. For more information see the themes & page templates help section. Admin Theme: You can select a theme for the admin area here. You can also create your own admin themes if you like too - just copy and rename one of the existing theme folders in admin/themes and edit it to suit.

Change Admin Username/Password

Here you can change your admin username and password. This is the main admin user that has full access to everything in the cms including configuration settings and other advanced areas. If you are building a website for a client it is recommend to add users with admin access for your clients. This way you can control what areas of the cms they can access through user group permissions.
