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.
