# Shaarli configuration Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.json.php` is generated: - it contains all settings in JSON format, and can be edited to customize values - it defines which [plugins](Plugins.md) are enabled - its values override those defined in `index.php` - it is wrapped in a PHP comment so that its contents are never served by the web server, regardless of configuration **Do not edit configuration options in index.php! Your changes would be lost.** ## Tools menu Some settings can be configured directly from a web browser by accesing the `Tools` menu. Values are read/written to/from the configuration file. ![](https://i.imgur.com/boaaibC.png) ### LDAP - **host**: LDAP host used for user authentication - **dn**: user DN template (`sprintf` format, `%s` being replaced by user login) ## Configuration file example ```json ", "hash": "", "salt": "" }, "security": { "ban_after": 4, "session_protection_disabled": false, "ban_duration": 1800, "trusted_proxies": [ "1.2.3.4", "5.6.7.8" ], "allowed_protocols": [ "ftp", "ftps", "magnet" ] }, "resources": { "data_dir": "data", "config": "data\/config.php", "datastore": "data\/datastore.php", "ban_file": "data\/ipbans.php", "updates": "data\/updates.txt", "log": "data\/log.txt", "update_check": "data\/lastupdatecheck.txt", "raintpl_tmp": "tmp\/", "raintpl_tpl": "tpl\/", "thumbnails_cache": "cache", "page_cache": "pagecache" }, "general": { "check_updates": true, "rss_permalinks": true, "links_per_page": 20, "default_private_links": true, "enable_thumbnails": true, "enable_localcache": true, "check_updates_branch": "stable", "check_updates_interval": 86400, "enabled_plugins": [ "markdown", "wallabag", "archiveorg" ], "timezone": "Europe\/Paris", "title": "My Shaarli", "header_link": "?"

It might be useful if your IP adress often changes. - **ban_after**: Failed login attempts before being IP banned. - **ban_duration**: IP ban duration in seconds. - **open_shaarli**: Anyone can add a new Shaare while logged out if enabled. - **trusted_proxies**: List of trusted IP which won't be banned after failed login attemps. Useful if Shaarli is behind a reverse proxy. - **allowed_protocols**: List of allowed protocols in shaare URLs or markdown-rendered descriptions. Useful if you want to store `javascript:` links (bookmarklets) in Shaarli (default: `["ftp", "ftps", "magnet"]`). ### Formatter Single string value. Default available: - `default`: supports line breaks, URL and hashtag auto-links. - `markdown`: supports [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax). - `markdownExtra`: adds [extra](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/) flavor to Markdown. ### Formatter Settings Additional settings applied to formatters. #### default - **autolink**: boolean to enable or disable automatic linkification of URL and hashtags. ### Resources - **data_dir**: Data directory. - **datastore**: Shaarli's Shaares database file path. - **history**: Shaarli's operation history file path. - **updates**: File path for the ran updates file. - **log**: Log file path. - **update_check**: Last update check file path. - **raintpl_tpl**: Templates directory. - **raintpl_tmp**: Template engine cache directory. - **thumbnails_cache**: Thumbnails cache directory. - **page_cache**: Shaarli's internal cache directory. - **ban_file**: Banned IP file path. ### Translation - **language**: translation language (also see [Translations](Translations)) - **auto** (default): The translation language is chosen from the browser locale. It means that the language can be different for 2 different visitors depending on their locale. - **en**: Use the English translation. - **fr**: Use the French translation. - **mode**: - **auto** or **php** (default): Use the PHP implementation of gettext (slower) - **gettext**: Use PHP builtin gettext extension (faster, but requires `php-gettext` to be installed and to reload the web server on update) - **extension**: Translation extensions for custom themes or plugins. Must be an associative array: `translation domain => translation path`. ### Updates - **check_updates**: Enable or disable update check to the git repository. - **check_updates_branch**: Git branch used to check updates (e.g. `stable` or `master`). - **check_updates_interval**: Look for new version every N seconds (default: every day). ### Privacy - **default_private_links**: Check the private checkbox by default for every new Shaare. - **hide_public_links**: All Shaares are hidden while logged out. - **force_login**: if **hide_public_links** and this are set to `true`, all anonymous users are redirected to the login page. - **hide_timestamps**: Timestamps are hidden. - **remember_user_default**: Default state of the login page's *remember me* checkbox - `true`: checked by default, `false`: unchecked by default ### Feed - **rss_permalinks**: Enable this to redirect RSS links to Shaarli's permalinks instead of shaared URL. - **show_atom**: Display ATOM feed button. ### Thumbnail - **enable_thumbnails**: Enable or disable thumbnail display. - **enable_localcache**: Enable or disable local cache. ## Plugins configuration See [Plugins](Plugins.md)
