Configuration

Why configurations
Interdubs serves mulitple clients. Some of their needs are common, others are different. On top of that, different projects and INTERDUBS applications might benefit from the ability to change features and behaviors within one clients segment.
INTERDUBS accomplishes this with configuration parameters. You don't need to know about configurations to run and use INTERDUBS.
configurations are only interesting if you like to customize and extend the way INTERDUBS works for you. You can also let us implement your wishes. See 
Services for details.
The entire client section in INTERDUBS is based on configurations. Naturally there is a large number of parameters. Some of them simple, other seemingly complex. Please always get in touch if you like to accomplish something and have trouble finding the right configuration for the task.
Example: client uploads
Interdubs allows clients to upload files as well. This functionality is useful in some case, but often not desired. That's why the default is that uploads are not visible. You can change this for individual logins by clicking on the 
config login icon in front of the login that you like to update. A screen will all the login options will appear.
On the lower part of the screen you can see that the Disable client uploads configuration is checked and that it gets its value from the global configuration. (see configuration hierarchy). The first thing we need to do is to make this configuration value controllable by this login by clicking on the + link. Once the login has it's own instance of the configuration we can uncheck the box. This will enable the display of the upload link in the 
client view.
Icon size
When Interdubs uploads a clip or image then it does generate Icon frames that will be visible during navigation. It does so for the following widths:
- 60
- 100
- 140
- 180
- 240
- 320
- 400
When you like to alter the size of the icons for a login then select the edit login icon in the beginning of the icon listings. In the bottom of the page you will find the Icons parameter. Click on the + sign to create a variable local to this login in the configuration hierarchy. Then you can select an icon size just for the current login. You can check how your changes look via the client view link.
How to change configurations values
See edit configuration values for details how to update the values.
