Please note some of the options in this area are only available to site administrators - so you might not be able to view all of these options.

Site settings
This area is where you set up most of the options for your site, as outlined below:

General

• Language: If you have multiple language files on your server, you can choose which one you want to use here. This will affect the admin area and text generated by the CMS throughout your site.
• Template: Your server will probably have many different site templates on it. Choose which one you want to use here.
• Admin template: As above, but the template will be used in the admin area of your site.
• Admin folder: You can choose to move your admin folder on your server to a different location during the install. If you've done so, the name of the folder will be here.
• Site title: The name of your site. Shown in your browser's title bar.
• Site URL: The address of where your site is running.
• Site e-mail: Any messages sent to visitors - for example, if they join a mailing list or sign up to post comments - will come from this address.
• Message display: The number of seconds the drop-down bars at the top of pages will appear for.
• Cache pages: If this is enabled, your server will store pages the first time they are accessed. This speeds up access for other users. If a page is changed, the cached version is removed.
• Static links: If enabled, all URLs on your site will go from looking like index.php?s=content&p=page to st/content/page/ - this is better for search engines and looks nicer too!

Site-wide

• Splitter: This is the character used in your title bar and elsewhere on your site to divide parts of page titles.
• Front page title: When visitors come first to the site, this is the name of the page that they will see.
• Front page style: You can set your front page to simply display a regular, content page (index), a blog, or both - with the blog underneath the content.
• Front page blog: Choose the name of the blog to be used on the front page here.
• Time format: This is how any times shown on your site will be displayed. This uses the PHP Date format - details are available here.
• Time offset: If your server is in a different country from you, you can add or subtract a number of hours to its current time so it shows your local time.
• Menu/submenu/admin menu style/separator: This is how menus will look. This is mainly now styled through CSS, and shouldn't need to be changed in most circumstances.
• Printable versions: If you set this to "Yes" each page will have a link to a non-styled version for easier printing.
• Default mailing list: If you have a mailing list box on your site and don't ask it to use a specific list when you enter the code to set one up, this is the list that will be used.

Posting

• Auto-insert new lines (content): If this is enabled, entering a new line in the content editor will automatically insert a line break without you needing use to HTML code.
• Show blog details at: This allows you to choose whether you want the poster's name and time to appear above or below a blog entry's text.
• Blog/news/guestbook entries per page: This selects the number of entries shown before users need to click a link to go on to another page in each category.
• Number of news headlines: If you have put a news headlines box on your site, this will change the number of entries shown in it.
• News extract length: In the "News" view, only a short extract of each entry will be shown. Change this value to change the number of characters used.
• Read more text: If an entry is longer than the extract length, or there is text in the "Read more" box on a blog, this is what visitors will see.
• Comments/trackbacks text: The text shown for links to comments and trackbacks.
• Comments/trackbacks/guestbook moderation: If these are enabled, any comments which are posted will have to be approved by someone with access before they appear in each of these sections.
• E-mail if moderation needed: If enabled, when a comment is posted and moderation is required, the address specified in "General" will be sent a message requesting a visit to the site to check over comments.
• Register before posting: You can specify whether visitors have to sign up before they can post comments on blog entries with this setting.
• Spam protection: Enabling this will require users to enter a short code when they post a comment to stop automated spambots posting on your site.
• Maximum comment/guestbook entry length: Set this to the number of characters you wish visitors to be allowed to enter.
• Accept comments on content: You can allow users to post comments on main content pages if this is enabled.
• Show most recent comments/guestbook entries at: Specify whether the latest posts should appear at the top or bottom of the list.
• Open-posting blog: If this is set to the name of a blog, any visitors can post to the specified blog once they have signed up by visiting www.yoursite.com/postblog.php.
• Maximum open-posting entry length: Restrict the length of entries posted by external users here.
• Ping blog directories: Enter the names of blog directories which will be notified when a new blog entry is posted - if you choose that option when you post a blog entry.

RSS

• Show RSS links: If this is enabled, blog and comments pages will have RSS feed links automatically added at the bottom.
• Use excerpts in feeds: Turning this on will show only a short part of an entry, rather than the full text.
• Override browser RSS styling: Enable this and the styles of RSS feeds automatically generated by Internet Explorer and Firefox will be replaced with one closer to your site's look.
• RSS styling colour: The colour scheme of the RSS feed page.
• Default RSS feed: If no feed is specified and a visitor goes to the rss.php page, this is the blog feed that will be shown.
• Show e-mail addresses: If enabled, a site e-mail address will be used in the feed. Otherwise, it will not be shown.
• Entries per feed: The number of items in each RSS feed.

Gallery

• Pictures in filmstrip: Underneath each picture, this number of thumbnails will be shown at once in a scrolling box.
• Pictures per gallery row/page: You can choose how many pictures on the thumbnail index page are shown here and how they are laid out by setting the number of pictures per row.
• Thumbnail size: Change this value to set the size, in pixels, of picture thumbnails.
• Maximum picture width: This is the widest any picture will be shown on your site.
• Resize pictures: If this is enabled, any images uploaded will be resized to the size specified above. This requires the GD library to be installed on your computer.
• Use excerpts in gallery index: If enabled, only a short extract from the description of a gallery will be shown on the page where all galleries are listed.
• Sort galleries by: On the gallery index page, you can choose whether you wish galleries listed by name, last updated date or number of pictures - and which order you wish them to appear in.

User settings
This is where site admins can add new users to the site or change the access rights of existing ones. To start, either click on the name of an existing user to enter a username in the "Add user" box, then click "Add".

Once you've done this, you'll see a list of boxes. If it's a new user, you'll need to enter a password (they can change this when they log in). You should then go into the "Section access" area to choose which parts of the admin console they'll be able to get into from the list.

In the third section, "Access rights", you can choose which specific pages in sections of the site can be accessed. Three selection boxes allow you to choose whether the user can create new content, blog and gallery pages. Underneath these, you can choose which of each of these categories they can access.

You can select to either allow a user only access to specific pages or to let them access everything except pages you specify. For the first option, set one of the drop-down boxes to say "Allow access to only". For the section, choose "Allow access to everything but". You should then choose which pages you want them to be able to access/which pages are blocked in the list to the right. Ctrl-click on Windows/Cmd-click on Macs will select multiple files.

Once you're done, click "Save" to save your changes and the user will be set up.

If it's an existing user, you can also click on the "Delete user" section to remove them from the site. They will no longer be able to log in.

Password-protected pages
The CMS allows you to add passwords for specific pages. You can click on "Add" to add a new page to this list. Then choose its category and enter a password. You can also edit existing passwords or remove them by clicking on the links.

Swearing protection
Your site can be set-up to automatically filter out swear words. You can add to or edit the filter here - just make sure the word you want to replace and its replacement are on the same line in the different boxes. Once you're done, click "Save"

Install add-ons
This section automatically downloads extra bits for your site from the fuzzylime (cms) server. It'll show you a list of what's available first - foreign language packs, general add-ons such as using WYSIWYG, and templates. Just click on one of their names and it will be automatically installed on your site.

Delete items
From here, you can delete files from any part of the site. Just click on the category, then click on the filename. Remember this is not reversible and the data will be permanently lost!

Remove user/block IP
This section shows you usernames of users who have registered externally - for example, to post comments or post to an open-posting blog. You can remove any of these users by clicking on the "Remove" link. You can also entirely ban IP addresses from the site. You can find out IP addresses of offenders in the "Comments" section - just paste them in here and they will be blocked. Underneath will appear a list of addresses that are blocked - so you can, if you wish, unblock them at a later date.

Backup site
Clicking on the "Go" link from this section will automatically create an archive file of your entire site for you to download. This is useful to keep a backup of everything on your server, and should be carried out regularly.

Restore backed-up site
In this section you can upload a backup of the site which you made using the script to have it extracted back on to your server. This is useful if something goes wrong with your site and you need to restore an earlier version.

Some servers don't allow you to upload big files through your browser, so if your site is a big one you might need to upload it via FTP first. To do this, find your backup file, rename it to "backup.tar", load your FTP client and upload the file into the files/ directory of your fuzzylime (cms) install. You should also change its CHMod setting to the same as the other parts of your site were set to when you first uploaded it.
