  • What it does

    System Core is Jamroom itself: the module every other module is built on. It holds the site-wide settings and the main admin tools, and it runs the Dashboard, the Activity Log and the Recycle Bin.

    ACP > Modules > Core > System Core

  • Global Config

    The Global Config tab has six sections:

    Section Settings
    General System Name: the name of your site, used in page titles and emails. Maintenance Mode and Maintenance Message (see Maintenance Mode).
    Caching Cache Seconds (default 300): how long pages and lists are cached. Set 0 to turn template caching off, for example while you work on templates.
    Date And Time System Time Zone, Hour Format and Date Format for every date shown on the site
    Activity Log Log Priorities: which entries are kept. Purge Activity Logs (default 60 days): when entries are deleted. Log 404 Not Found: log addresses that weren't found. That's useful after moving to Jamroom from another system.
    Content Active Media System: where uploaded media is stored (the local disk unless a storage module is installed). Use Optimized Pager, Use Optimized Ordering and Max Query Run Time tune list queries on large sites.
    Recycle Bin Enable Recycle Bin: deleted items go to the Recycle Bin first, so they can be restored (ACP > Dashboard > Recycle Bin). Delete After (default 3 days): when they're deleted for good. Items in the bin still use disk space.

  • Quota Config

    Per quota:

    • Text Permissions: Allow ALL HTML Tags, Allowed HTML Tags and Active Text Formatters (see Text Formatters)
    • Resources: Media Space (disk space per profile) and Max Upload Size (see Upload Limits)
