At the moment this command is not available from the web-interface but this will be fixed in the future. +.. _live-settings-options: +Entering live settings in settings.py file +========================================== + +You might want to bypass live settings and enter them directly +in the ``settings.py`` file in the ``LIVESETTINGS_OPTIONS`` dictionary. + +Having live settings overridden from the ``settings.py`` file may +somewhat speed up your site +and +decrease a chance that the values could be accessed +by an unauthorized person. + +Please see an example below:: + + LIVESETTINGS_OPTIONS = { + 1: { + 'DB' : True, + 'SETTINGS': { + 'EMAIL': { + 'REPLY_BY_EMAIL': True + } + } + } + +Firstly, the number "1" is site id. Most +likely the number should be the same as the value of ``SITE_ID`` setting. + +The value for the site id key is a nested dictionary with two keys: +``'DB'`` (if True - then the rest of settings will be taken from the database) +and ``'SETTINGS'`` - a dictionary with the actual settings. +In this example ``'EMAIL'`` is the settings group +and +``'REPLY_BY_EMAIL'`` is the setting name, with ``True`` being the value. + +Setting group names and setting names can be looked up in files within +``askbot/conf`` directory. |
