Settings

Firstly, note that the extension manager has built-in help for most of the extra extensions - this is documentation of the non-obvious parts of the core.

General

• Site title: a short text to go in the page header. Also used for the front page /home extension
• Front page: which page the user should see when they visit "/". Default is "post/list", though "/home" is nice if you install the extension.
• Main page: what the user should be directed to when in doubt. Default is "post/list"
• Base URL: what should be stuck in front of each link. "./index.php?q=" is safe, setting it to the folder of your shimmie install (including http:// and server name) will make urls look nicer
• Contact URL: for the footer, http:// or mailto:
• Nice URLs: use eg. post/list instead of index.php?q=post/list. Needs to have mod_rewrite configured and enabled (or use these configs if you use another webserver)

Image Options

• Image link: how to build the URL to images, if you have something non-standard (like a CDN)
  • $id
  • $hash_ab - first pair of characters of the hash
  • $hash_cd - second pair of characters of the hash
  • $hash - the full hash
  • $tags
  • $base - the folder where shimmie is installed
  • $ext - filename extension
  • $size
  • $filesize
  • $filename
  • $date - the date the image was uploaded
  • $title - site title
• Thumbnail link: similar to image link, but should link to the thumbnail
• Tooltip: same format

• Tag info link: a URL to link to, uses the $tag variable
