feeds/configure.php - Change parameters for feeds

This script will let you modify information spread along outbound channels, such as:

channel_title - The name of your site, as it will appears in newsfeeds.

The default value is the site name, as set in skins/configure.php.

channel_description - Up to two lines of text used to describe your site as a news provider.

The default value is the site description, as set in skins/configure.php.

webmaster_address - Appears in news feeds, and therefore can be subject to spam attacks.

The default value is the web master e-mail address set in skins/configure.php.

powered_by_image - The URL of the channel image, relative to the YACS installation path, if any

time_to_live - Suggested period of refresh

General outbound feeds are described at feeds/index.php. More specific feeds are available at sections/feed.php, categories/feed.php, and users/feed.php. You can also build a feed on particular keywords, at services/search.php.

Use this script also to modify parameters related to news aggregation, such as:

minutes between feeds - the feeding period.

maximum_news - the maximum number of news links to be kept in the database.

If the limit is reached, oldest entries will be deleted.

debug_feeds - if set to 'Y',

save into agents/debug.txt data sent and received during feeding session. Quite useful to understand why the last URL added to your system screw up everything...

To declare inbound feeds you will have to create server profiles. See servers/index.php.

Configuration information is saved into feeds/parameters.include.php. If YACS is prevented to write to the file, it displays parameters to allow for a manual update.

The file feeds/parameters.include.php.bak can be used to restore the active configuration before the last change, if necessary.

If the file demo.flag exists, the script assumes that this instance of YACS runs in demonstration mode. In this mode the edit form is displayed, but parameters are not saved in the configuration file.

This script is a reference file of this system.
