# Configuration
|
|
|
|
For configuring the system, Gosora has a file called `config/config.json` which you can tweak to change various behaviours, it also has a few settings in the Setting Manager in the Control Panel.
|
|
|
|
The configuration file has four categories you may be familiar with from poring through it's contents. Site, Config, Database and Dev.
|
|
|
|
Site is for critical settings, Config is for lower priority yet still important settings, Database contains the credentials for the database (you will be able to pass these via parameters to the binary in a future version), and Dev is for a few flags which help out with the development of Gosora.
|
|
|
|
An example of what the file might look like: https://github.com/Azareal/Gosora/blob/master/config/config_example.json
|
|
|
|
# Site

|
|
|
ShortName - A two or three letter abbreviation of your site's name. Intended for compact spaces where the full name is too long to squeeze in.

|
|
|
Name - The name of your site, as appears in the title, some theme headers and search engine search results.

Email - The email address you want to show up in the From: field when Gosora sends emails. May be left blank, if emails are disabled.
