Content Options
Content Options provide more detailed customization for how the
system handles various types of content.
- Global Max Upload (KB) - This determines the maximum size for any uploaded files. This is particularly relevant for restricting the use of very large images. This can be restricted further at the asset factory level for more specific size limitations. File size is also limited by the database, which is based on the maximum BLOB size allowed (packet size for MySQL).
- Max Assets in Index Blocks - This determines the maximum number of assets that may be returned by an index block.
- Max Asset Versions - This determines the maximum number of versions that will be stored for any given asset. Once the maximum number of versions is reached, the oldest version is removed.
- Expiration Warning - This determines how soon in advance of a content expiration date will a user be notified via an internal message.
- Global CSS Classes - This determines which CSS classes will be made available via the WYSIWYG editor. CSS classes will be replaced when specifying classes at the target level; likewise, classes specified by the default group will further replace both global and target level CSS. CSS classes defined here must exist in CSS styles used in the published site(s).
- Global Keywords - This determines keywords that will be used by default in all system assets. More customized keywords can be defined in metadata sets.
- Editable File Extensions - This determines the types of text files that are editable inside the system.
- Plain Text File Extensions - This determines which files will be treated as plain text within the system. For these files, the system will return a MIME type of text/html. Files with the .css extension should not be included due to their MIME type.
- Default Data Checks - This determines whether spell, content accessibility, or link checks are turned on by default. These checks will run any time an asset is created or edited.
-
- Spell - This checker will review all content and metadata for each asset.
- Content Accessibility - This checker will review content for objective level 1 508 compliance requirements.
- Link - This checker will review both internal and external links referenced in an asset. For external links, this checker will first verify whether a connection is available to the server, and that no 404 error is returned.
- Word Processor - This allows you to turn off various WYSIWYG options to retain better control of formatting.
-
- Font Formatting - This option enables font color and background color.
- Font Assignment - This option enables font types and sizes.
- Text Formatting - This option enables font to be bold, italicized, and underline.
- Remove all font tags and style attributes from word processor content - This option removes all font tags and style attributes.
- Disable table controls on the toolbar - This option turns off the insert table button on the toolbar. Existing tables may still be edited via right click, and users will still be able to copy and paste tables into the WYSIWYG.
- Microsoft Office - This determines how much, if any, extraneous code and formatting is removed from content copied from Microsoft Office software.
-
- Optimize HTML content - This strips out any extraneous and non-compliant tags from Microsoft Office content.
- Remove font tags and style attributes - This strips out any font tags and style attributes when content is copied from Microsoft Office.
- Workflow - This determines whether workflows will be bypassed by default for all users with the role of publisher or higher.
- Unpublish on Delete - This determines whether content should be automatically removed from the web server(s) when deleted from the CMS.
- Global CSS File - This allows you to select one CSS file for use as a default in the WYSIWYG. This feature is optional, but is valuable for assigning CSS classes to the WYSIWYG.
- Zip Archive - This option allows all users to upload and unpack zip files. This option is made available so that users who would otherwise be subjected to workflow restrictions may upload numerous files at once.
- Simple Interface - This allows you to turn off the left asset tree by default in order to provide a more simplified interface. Users are still able to turn the left asset tree back on by clicking the asset tree toggle button.
- Links - This allows for additional quality control regarding link management.
-
- Relative Links - This determines whether relative links are reported or ignored upon publishing.
- Check External Links - This determines whether external links should be checked as part of the link checking function.
- External Link Check Timeout - This allows you to limit the amount of time the system spends waiting for a response for external links.
-
Global Starting Page - This allows you to select a default
page (typically the site's home page), which will appear
under the first tab of the dashboard for each user. This feature
is optional.
- Generated Blocks Folder - These are blocks that are automatically created during template conversion. If this folder is not specified, blocks will be placed in the same folder as the template (recommended).
- Asset Tree Display - This determines the asset tree items that are loaded. A more verbose display will consume more system resources.
