The Hidden Configuration
What you need
- FTP client
- Editor with UTF-8 (Notepad++, Sublime Text ...)
Background
The hidden configuration keeps a lot of settings that you would not normally need for a standard VirtueMart shop. Some settings might even harm the stability of your system. So please only change these settings if you know what you are doing. Hopefully after reading this you will.
Where is it hidden?
Find it in /administrator/components/com_virutemart/. Here we got the file virtuemart.cfg.
Editing
The hidden configuration is a simple text file in UTF-8 format without BOM. The system is easy to understand, just have a look at it. Please be sure to use a code editor that knows how to handle UTF-8 files. Regarding the question: No, please don't use MS Word.
The parameters
The following list contains a list of parameters, sometimes all of them, but since there are always new ones coming up, some might be missing. Please inform us if you cannot find one here that is in your code.
