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.
Warning: these rates do not auto update.
- RATE_CAD_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Canadian dollars to USD (1 CAD = X USD)
- RATE_EUR_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Euros to USD (1 EUR = X USD)
- RATE_GBP_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for British Pounds to USD (1 GBP = X USD)
- RATE_NOK_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Norwegian Kroner to USD (1 NOK = X USD)
- RATE_SEK_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Swedish Kronor to USD (1 SEK = X USD)
- RATE_DKK_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Danish Kroner to USD (1 DKK = X USD)
- RATE_CHF_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Swiss Francs to USD (1 CHF = X USD)
- RATE_JPY_TO_USD is the Exchange Rate for Japanese Yen to USD (1 JPY = X USD)
FORCE_PV_MIN
If FORCE_PV_MIN is checked in the Configuration Admin, NATS checks the
affiliate's desired payout, and if it is less than the payvia minimum,
NATS uses the payvia minimum instead of the affiliate's payout when
storing payments.
UPDATE_PV_MIN
If UPDATE_PV_MIN is checked in the Configuration Admin, NATS checks the
affiliate's desired payout, and if it is less than the payvia minimum,
NATS changes the affiliate's desired payout to the payvia minimum.
Surfer Tab
MEMBER_GET_NEW_USERNAME
Applies to NATS v3.1.23 or greater
NATS can recommend new usernames to surfers if the name they select is already in use. Display these recommendations by adding the following code to your join template.
{if $vars.recommended}
The username you entered was taken, please try one of these.<br />
{foreach from=$vars.recommended item="usernameR"}
{$usernameR}
{/foreach}
{/if}
By default NATS generates four usernames. To disable these
recommendations, set the MEMBER_GET_NEW_USERNAME configuration variable to 0 in your NATS configuration file, nats/config.php. If you change MEMBER_GET_NEW_USERNAME to any other number
between one and 25, NATS generates that number of username recommendations.
UNIQUE_MEMBER_NAMES
This feature is available in versions >= NATS 4.0.69.1 and replaces UNIQUE_USERNAMES and XSELL_UNIQUE_USERNAMES
Allow the display of recommended usernames.
