With the Config manager, a wiki user with sysop rights can manage BlueSpice wiki-wide settings in one place. In the navigation, it is located under Global navigations > Management > Config manager.This link loads the page Special:ConfigManager.

Layout

Filter options

All settings can be accessed through the following filter options:

  • Feature: group by type of functionality the setting belongs to (search, administration...)
  • Extension: group by extension name
  • Package: group by BlueSpice edition and services (BlueSpice free, BlueSpice pro, Matomo)
config manager filters
config manager filter


All settings are available in any type of grouping. Changing the grouping type does not add or remove setting options. It just groups them differently. After settings are adjusted, they can be saved by clicking Save, or cancelled by clicking Reset.

Note:If a server administrator has configured a setting to no longer be writable, it will be shown as greyed-out in the config manager. You will have to talk to your server administrator about changing such a setting.


Searching for settings

A search bar is located above the list of settings. Type in a keyword such as "logo" to find the corresponding setting. The search returns settings regardless of the currently selected group.

Note:The search field has to be empty if you want to see the filter menu instead of the search.

Settings by extension

EventBus

Eventbus sends notifications to external urls in case something happens in the wiki. For example, if a page is created, an external service could then be started and create a pdf of that page. See the extension's page on mediawiki.org.

BlueSpiceFoundation

Updating logo and favicon

Note:Since BlueSpice 4.2, the logo and favicon can also be managed via the page Special:Flexiskin together with further skin customizations.
  • Logo path: The logo image should be stored in the /images folder of your installation. If you store it in the /skins folder of your BlueSpice installation, it could be overwritten with an upgrade.

To upload the logo directly in the wiki:

  1. Upload the logo on the page Extended file list (Special:ExtendedFilelist). This is a link under the Global actions navigation.
  2. Search for the logo name in the extended file list.
  3. Click on the thumbnail image of the logo. This opens the logo on a separate page.
    logo thumbnail image
    logo thumbnail image
  4. Copy the relative logo path from the address bar.In a typical Wiki configuration, this path starts with /w/.... .
    relative image path
    relative image path
  5. Paste the logo path into the text field for the logo.
    logo path
    logo path
  6. Click Save.
  7. Refresh the page (Strg+F5).
    If the uploaded logo is too large, you can add the following code snippet to the page MediaWiki:Common.css. This automatically adjusts the image to the height of the main toolbar:
    .bs-logo a {background-size: contain;}
    
  • Favicon path: The favicon image should be stored in the /images folder of your installation. If you store it in the /skins folder of your BlueSpice installation, it could be overwritten with an upgrade. Favicon images have the file extension .ico.

System

  • Allowed file extensions: For security reasons, the types of files that users can upload are restricted. Here, you can allow additional file formats. If a file format is blacklisted in the server configuration, adding this file extension here will not allow this file type to be uploaded. See mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_title for more info.

BlueSpiceArticleInfo

BlueSpiceArticleInfo, together with BlueSpiceAuthors, BlueSpiceReaders, and BlueSpiceExtendedSearch is part of the Page information in the quality management tools.

  • Update interval in seconds: Sets the refresh rate for the "Last edit" value. By default, this date is updated every 10 seconds via JavaScript.

  • Prepend article table of contents and headlines with book numberation: The page TOC does not start with the main heading 1, but with the actual number from the book chapter (see screenshot). If users have activated in their user preferences to "auto-number headings", the numbering system is matched accordingly.

  • Supress namespace prefix of book articles in output: The namespace prefix of an article is not shown in PDFs.

BlueSpiceChecklist

  • Mark checklist changes as minor edit: If this setting is active, changes to a checklist (for example, checking a checkbox) in view mode are logged as minor edits. If this setting is inactive, a change to the checklist is recorded as a regular version in the page history.

BlueSpiceExtendedSearch

  • External file paths: External locations to scan for and index files from. These locations are entered in key/value pairs of Physical path and URL prefix.
    • Physical path: Storage path. For mounted drives, for example: X:\Documents
    • URL prefix: All files indexed from the indexed physical location are prefixed in the search results. It should be used if files are available from a web server. By default, the URL prefix is set to the same value as Physical path.

BlueSpicePageTemplates

  • Force target namespace: The page is always created in the target namespace that is associated with the template, even if the user provided a different namespace prefix. In the screenshot below, the user wants to create the page "NewPage" and then selects a template for the QM namespace. The page is, therefore, created as "QM:NewPage" if this setting is activated.

Quality assurance

  • Include handling: If resources are embedded in a page and those resources are located in namespaces with approval mechanism, then the following settings can be selected. For example: If an approved page contains a template that has been changed after the page itself has been approved, the page will not get another draft version, but instad on of two configuration applies:
    • Current versions: Always show the latest version of the embedded resource.
    • Stable versions: Always show the stable (=approved) version of a resource.
  • Show unstable pages for following groups: If the group user is removed from the BlueSpiceFlaggedRevs configuration, users in this group will not be able to see draft versions when they are added as reviewers in a review process. When the group user is removed, only sysop and reviewer users can access drafts. If you want other groups, for example editor, to see draft versions, you need to add them to the configuration. If no user groups are specified in the configuration field, not even reviewers and sysops users will see a visual status indication of a page. They will have access to drafts through the revision history for the page instead.
