Default language¶

The default language is selected when the application could not determine the user's browser language. The default language is also used when sending email to multiple users. Default: English

Date format¶

Lets you choose how dates are displayed:

• Language based: the dates will be displayed according to the format defined for each language (MM/JJ/AAAA for English)
• ISO 8601: the dates will be always displayed using ISO format (eg. 2007-07-14)

Default: Language based

Attachment max. size¶

Issues export limit¶

Maximum number of issues contained in CSV and PDF exports. Default: 500

Emission mail address¶

Host name¶

Host name of the application. This name is used to write URL in emails sent to users.

Text formatting¶

Formatting method applied to the "description" fields of the issues, news, documents...

Wiki history compression¶

Lets you activate compression for wiki history storage (reduces database size). Default: disabled

Feed content limit¶

Maximum number of records contained in RSS feeds. Default: 15

Autofetch commits¶

If this option is activated, the application automatically retrieves the new revisions when a user consults the repository.

Default: Yes

You can disable this option and automate the call to Repository#fetch_changesets to regularly retrieve the revisions for all of the repositories in the background.
Example:

ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production

Enable WS for repository management¶

This option should be activated only if you installed the script for automatic SVN repository creation. Default: No

Repositories encodings¶

This option lets you specify prefered encodings for repository files (multiple values allowed, comma separated). These encodings are used to convert files content and diff to UTF-8 so that they're properly displayed in the browser.
When entering multiple encodings, the first valid encoding regarding the file content is used.

For French users, this option can be for example set to:

UTF-8, ISO 8859-15, CP1252

For Japanese users:

ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, UTF-8, SHIF_JIS, WINDOWS-31J

Autologin¶

This option let users use the auto-login feature. Default: Disabled

Self-registration¶

This option lets you enable/disable new users self registration:

• disabled: users are not allowed to register
• account activation by email: new users receive an email containing a link used to active their accounts (users must provide a valid email address).
• manual account activation (default): new users' accounts are created but need administrator approval. Administrators receive an email informing them that an account is pending their approval.
