3.1.4 - Main Config
In this session are the main settings of your program and of the GPTEngine™ itself.
Please, be careful when changing these settings.
Incorrect configuration can cause serious failures in your program.
Admin
These are the Admin usage settings.
Username and password are used to log in the GPTEngine™ Admin. Only alphanumeric digits and underscore ("_") are allowed.
Session time out is the maximum duration (in seconds) of an Admin session. For security reasons, the session will be closed once the time out is reached.
Administrator Info
In this field you provide some information about the program administrator: title, name and e-mail.
That e-mail address will be used by popux.com to, in any eventuality, contact you or send support information.
Site info
These are the default settings of your site.
Site name is the name of your program.
Site URL is the working URL that points to the site on wich you have installed your copy of GPTEngine™. Don't change this unless you have changed your domain name.
Pages URL is the URL of the directory where the GPTEngine™ pages are located. (`<your site URL>/pages`).
Docs URL is the URL of the directory where the GPTEngine™ documentation are located. (`<your site URL>/docs`).
Site e-mail is the official e-mail address of your site.
Site reply e-mail is the default e-mail address that will figure as the "reply to" field on your program e-mail messages.
Site Copyright notice is that will be displayed when you call the function `<!--^site_copyright_notice^-->` from the tool gpte.cgi.
PHP temp dir and PHP temp URL are the location and URL of the temporary world writeable directory used by the gpte.cgi tool to parse php files. (Don't change this unless you know what you're doing.)
Mailer
These are the GPTEngine™ Mass Mailer settings.
Max mailer childs is the number of mailer instances that can run at the same time, increasing this value will also increase the mailer speed (this is limited by the max number of the instances of a CGI application permitted by the web server).
Max running time is the maximum time, in seconds, that a mailer instance can last (this is limited by the max CPU time that a CGI application can spend at the web server).
Max sending rate is the maximum mails/time rate of the GPTEngine™ mass mailer, once that value is reached, any mailer instance stops (this is limited by the anti-spam policy at the web server).
Sendmail™ path (Linux® version only) is the path of the Sendmail™ on the web server.
Use Sendmail™ queueing: (Linux® version only) Check this if you want the mail server to queue e-mail messages to be sent later (this increases the speed of the mailer).
SMTP needs authentication (Windows® version only): Check this if your SMTP server asks for an username and a password before send messages.
SMTP server (Windows® version only) is the name of your SMTP server.
SMTP auth username and SMTP auth password (Windows® version only) are the username and password you use to authenticate to your SMTP server.
Login Sessions
These are the users and advertisers login sessions settings.
Session time out is the maximum duration (in seconds) of an user or advertiser session. For security reasons, the session will be closed once the time out is reached.
Same IP blocking interval will prevent different users to do anything in your program with the same IP in that time interval.
User login with e-mail and advertiser login with e-mail specifies if users and advertisers login with e-mail instead of username or business name.
Payment
These are the settings for users payment.
Minimum payout is the smaller amount of money that an default user can request.
Payout info is the name of the user information that corresponds to the users payment processing choice (you can customize this information).
Point value is the current value of a point in cash (you must periodically set this value accordingly to your program finances).
Users activity
In this field you can establish your own criteria for user activity tracking.
Max time without login is the maximum time without login before an user have his status changed to suspended.
Max time without clicking is the maximum time without clicking in a PTC campaign before an user have his status changed to suspended.
Max time without read is the maximum time without reading a PTR campaign before an user have his status changed to suspended.
Max time without surfing is the maximum time without visiting a PTS campaign before an user have his status changed to suspended.
Check delete inactive (suspended) users automatically if you want that users with suspended status be deleted automatically (not recommended).
Default mail messages
Here you can edit the subject and body of the default mail messages sent by your program.
You can add dynamic fields to the body of message by the use of the `<!--^ ^-->` tags.
To insert, for example, the username and the current number of points of the user in the message, just place the tags `<!--^Username^-->` and `<!--^Points^-->` at any part of the body.
In order to know what fields can be used in a message sent to users, access the MySQL® admin and in the query field enter the query `describe GPTE_Members`. To know what fields can be used in a message sent to advertisers, enter the query `describe GPTE_Advertisers`.
Please, note that field names are case sensitive.
The only exception to the above is the message User e-mail verfification (id = 0) where the only available field is `<!--^code^-->` which corresponds to the e-mail verification code sent to users at signup time.
User e-mail verification (id = 0) is the message sent to users (affililates) at signup time to confirm their e-mail addresses.
Welcome user (id = 1 ) and welcome advertiser (id = 2) are the welcome messages sent to users and advertisers when the signup process is finished.
User login recovery (id = 3) and advertiser login recovery (id = 4) are the automatically sent messages that inform the username (or business name) and password to the user or advertiser who has forgotten his login information.
New user notification (id = 5) and new advertiser notification (id = 6) are the messages sent to you telling about new users or advertisers subscriptions.
Other config
These are some uncategorized settings of your program.
Free referrals redistribution rate is the percentage of unreferred users that will be assigned as referrals to users with special memberships.
gpte.cgi alias and gpteclick.cgi alias are the name of the executables gpte.cgi and gpteclick.cgi at your system. Don't change these unless you know what you are doing. Please, note that the Admin will not rename the files, these settings just inform GPTEngine™ that those file names have changed.
Navigation bar frame size and timer frame size are the height (in percentage) of the AutoSurf and the Timer bar frames sizes.
