Global settings

Clear Cache

Clears the CMSMS cache contents causing pages to be rebuilt from scratch for all new requests to the site. This can be necessary after some maintenance jobs, such as making changes to config.php for example. The documentation, or forums, will usually tell you when this is necessary.

Site Name

This sets the overall site name that appears in the browser's title bar when viewing and is available for use in template via the {sitename} tag.

File Creation Mask

The File Creation Mask is applied to files which are uploaded through File Manager and Image Manager. It follows umask rules.

Notes

Be careful about changing the "File Creation Mask (umask):" setting. It can cause some files to be unreadable (like Captcha images used in the Comments module). If in doubt, set it back to the default: 022

File creation mask 022 makes files created have a chmod of 755 (777 - 022 = 755)

You may have to change File Creation Mask (umask): from "022" to "002" to keep from getting 403 forbidden errors when trying to view generated thumbnails on your webhost.

Another option is to change the umask to 00122 which will give: Owner - Read,Write Group - Other - Read

Default Language for the Front End

This tells multi-lingual extensions (for example search and news) what language to use when displaying controls or text in pages.

Front End WYSIWYG

Allows the selection of a particular default WYSIWYG content editor if any have been installed as extensions in addition to the standard one.

Global Metadata

Allows metadata markup (<meta> tag items) to be entered which should be applied to all pages on the site.

Enable Custom 404 Message

Activates a custom "404 - Not found" message.

Custom 404 Error Message:

Enter HTML to generate the custom not found error page.

Template

Select the template to use when displaying the custom not found error page.

Enable Site Down Message

Displays the standard down for maintenance message to site visitors.

Site Down Message

Enter HTML to generate the site down message page.

Note:

Unlike the 'not found' message the site down message doesn't incorporate a CMSMS template or in fact provide any of the pre- and post-page content that CMSMS generates for a normal page. So any content you must have here you will need to provide yourself.

Administration Theme

Select the active theme for the administration panel if any have been installed.

Disable admin safe mode warning

Allow parameter checks to create warning messages
