Configuration
=============

Now you're logged in, it's time to configure your account as you want.

Click on ``Config`` menu. You have five tabs: ``Settings``, ``RSS``,
``User information``, ``Password`` and ``Tagging rules``.

Settings
--------

Theme
~~~~~

wallabag is customizable. You can choose your prefered theme here. You can also
create a new one, a chapter will be dedicated for this. The default theme is
``Material``, it's the theme used in the documentation screenshots.

Items per page
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can change the number of articles displayed on each page.

Reading speed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

wallabag calculates a reading time for each article. You can define here, thanks to this list, if you are
a fast or a slow reader. wallabag will recalculate the reading time for each article.

Language
~~~~~~~~

You can change the language of wallabag interface. You need to logout for this change
to take effect.

RSS
---

wallabag provides RSS feeds for each article status: unread, starred and archive.

Firstly, you need to create a personal token: click on ``Create your token``.
It's possible to change your token by clicking on ``Reset your token``.

Now you have three links, one for each status: add them into your favourite RSS reader.

You can also define how many articles you want in each RSS feed (default value: 50).

User information
----------------

You can change your name, your email address and enable ``Two factor authentication``.

Two factor authentication
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA) is a technology patented in 1984
    that provides identification of users by means of the combination of two different components.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_authentication

If you enable 2FA, each time you want to login to wallabag, you'll receive
a code by email. You have to put this code on the following form.

If you don't want to receive a code each time you want to login, you can check
the ``I'm on a trusted computer`` checkbox: wallabag will remember you for 15 days.

Password
--------

You can change your password here (8 characters minimum).

Tagging rules
-------------

If you want to automatically assign a tag to new articles, this part
of the configuration is for you.

What does « tagging rules » mean?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are rules used by wallabag to automatically tag new entries.
Each time a new entry is added, all the tagging rules will be used to add
the tags you configured, thus saving you the trouble to manually classify your entries.

How do I use them?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let assume you want to tag new entries as *« short reading »* when
the reading time is inferior to 3 minutes.
In that case, you should put « readingTime <= 3 » in the **Rule** field
and *« short reading »* in the **Tags** field.
Several tags can added simultaneously by separating them by a comma: *« short reading, must read »*.
Complex rules can be written by using predefined operators:
if *« readingTime >= 5 AND domainName = "github.com" »* then tag as *« long reading, github »*.

Which variables and operators can I use to write rules?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following variables and operators can be used to create tagging rules (be careful, for some values, you need to add quotes, for example ``language = "en"``):
