NATS4 Configuration Admin
The Configuration Admin lets you manage your NATS configuration.
The NATS configuration admin works in conjunction with the NATS configuration file. The configuration file is stored in the NATS directory on your server as includes/config.php.
Several tabs let you find configuration options:
- The Home options are the primary NATS settings. Some options can't be edited; if you need these options changed, please submit a ticket
- The Security options configure who can access secure areas of your NATS program. Be careful editing these settings: you can easily lock yourself out
- The Email options tell NATS when to send emails. NATS only sends email if you enter a subject in any of the fields
- The Currency options change the exchange rate or how currency is displayed.
- The Cronjobs options change how NATS does scheduled tasks
- The Logging options change what NATS logs
For a description of important options, please see the Configuration Options article.
Configuration Options
You'll find the following settings in the NATS Configuration Admin.
PROJECT_HOSTNAME
Your program's domain. If you change this, you should setup an Apache virtual host for the hold value so that your old links continue to work. Warning: setting this to a bad value will break NATS.
PAYOUT_AUTOSTORE
Stores payment dumps immediately after they are formed. You can find the payment dump in the Payments Admin in the Stored Payments section. This feature prevents forgetting to mark dumps as paid.
PAYOUT_PERIOD
Sets which days end a Period. At the end of a period, NATS makes a payment dump. The value can be days of the month (e.x 1, 15, or 30) or days of the week (w1 is Monday, w2 is Tuesday, etc...) The default value is the 1st and the 16th of the month. If you want this value changed, please contact support.
PAYOUT_DELAYED
Tells the system the number of pay periods to wait for before generating a payment dump. The default value is 0. If you want this value changed, please contact support.
TMM_PRODUCT_CODE
Identify your system for the auto license update. If you change or removed this without contacting TMM first, the license update will fail and you will need to put it on the server manually.
PROJECT_NAME / NICE_NAME
Used on various NATS templates to print the name of your NATS. For example: NICE_NAME is used to name the news section on members.php. You can change these to anything.
Currency Rates
Sets the currency exchange rates for common currencies. You may enter as many numbers after the decimal places as you want.
