General Preferences


The general preferences can be accessed via the Switch_16x16.png panel in weaverFM's preferences. The currently supported preferences are as follows:


  • Remember Me The number of days the login cookie that is stored on a user's computer will be valid. For security reasons, the maximum number of days is limited to 14. If set to 0, the login cookie will expire when the user quits their web browser.
  • Data folder name This is the name of the folder that will be created to hold the files and folders used by weaverFM. The default value of "data" is recommended but you may customize it if you wish. This is NOT recommended unless you know what you are doing. Only letters (Aa - Zz), numbers (0 - 9), and underscores (_) are allowed.
  • Miscellaneous
    • Load MooTools using Google's servers Enabling this option (recommended) will automatically load the MooTools javascript library using Google's infrastructure. Since Google's servers are distributed world-wide, this can lead to better performance for your visitors.
  • Automatically generate php.ini file Enable this option to set the upload size for the weaverFM page. NOTE: This feature may not be supported by all hosts. Also, various hosts may impose hard limits that override this value.
  • Use HTML Redirects for file downloads A timeout may occur on some hosts when users try to download large files. To alleviate this issue, HTML Redirects (a 303 in HTML-speak) can be used as an alternate method for file transfers. NOTE: This method will expose the file's absolute URL to the user. Also, downloads are handled by the browser and may be rendered directly within the browser window. This is especially true for audio/visual files.
