Control Panel settings

The webtrees control panel allows you to set default values for the various GVExport options. In addition, you can set some settings that are not available in the normal user interface, and also have the option to enable debug mode, which helps developers solve issues.

Accessing control panel settings

A webtrees administrator can access the control panel settings by going to the "My Pages" menu at the top of webtrees (depending on theme), and choosing "Control Panel".

From here, scroll down to the "Modules" section and click on the "Charts" under "Genealogy".

Now look for the GVExport module in this list. Next to the name of the module should be a spanner which you can click to view the settings.

Load order

Options are loaded in the following order: config.php -> control panel -> user's saved options in browser

That is to say, the config.php file holds the default values. These can be overwritten by settings in the control panel, such that to a user the control panel settings appear to be the default. When a user makes changes using the UI in GVExport, these changes will be stored locally in the users browser and will always override the control panel and default settings. Updates to the default settings in the config.php or control panel page will not be reflected in the user settings until the user resets their settings.

Reset to default

An option is provided to reset the administration settings back to the GVExport defaults (or whatever you have set in config.php).

Note that you need to click "Save" after resetting the defaults, they are not saved automatically (in case it was an accident).
