Static settings reference

Search…

This is the reference of all static settings defined by Misago. Reference of settings defined by Django can be found on Django documentation.
MISAGO_ACL_EXTENSIONS
List of Misago ACL framework extensions.
Note
On Misago admin panel home page you will find a message telling you if you have entered the correct value, or what value is correct in case you've didn't.
MISAGO_ADMIN_NAMESPACES
Link namespaces that are administrator-only areas that require additional security from Misago. Users will have to re-authenticate themselves to access those namespaces, even if they are already signed in your frontend. In addition they will be requested to reauthenticated if they were inactive in those namespaces for certain time.
Defautly misago:admin and admin namespaces are specified, putting both Misago and Django default admin interfaces under extended security mechanics.
MISAGO_ADMIN_PATH
Path prefix for Misago administration backend. Defautly "admincp", but you may set it to empty string if you with to disable your forum administration backend.
MISAGO_ADMIN_SESSION_EXPIRATION
Maximum allowed lenght of inactivity period between two requests to admin namespaces. If its exceeded, user will be asked to sign in again to admin backed before being allowed to continue activities.
MISAGO_ATTACHMENT_403_IMAGE_IMAGE
Default file that should be served if user has no permission to see requested attachment.
MISAGO_ATTACHMENT_404_IMAGE_IMAGE
Default file that should be served if user has requested nonexistant attachment.
MISAGO_ATTACHMENT_IMAGE_SIZE_LIMIT
Max dimensions (width and height) of user-uploaded images embedded in posts. If uploaded image is greater than dimensions specified in this settings, Misago will generate thumbnail for it.
Note
Because user-uploaded GIF's may be smaller than dimensions specified, but still be considerably heavy due to animation, Misago always generates thumbnails for user-uploaded GIFS, stripping the animations from them.
MISAGO_ATTACHMENT_SECRET_LENGTH
Length of attachment's secret (filenames and url token). The longer, the harder it is to bruteforce, but too long may conflict with your uploaded files storage limits (eg. filesystem path length limits).
Warning
In order for Misago to support clustered deployments or CDN's (like Amazon's S3), its unable to validate user's permission to see the attachment at its source. Instead it has to rely on exessively long and hard to guess urls to attachments and assumption that your users will not "leak" source urls to attachments further.
Generaly, neither you nor your users should use forums to exchange files containing valuable data, but if you do, you should make sure to secure it additionaly via other means like password-protected archives or file encryption solutions.
MISAGO_AVATAR_GALLERY
Path to directory containing avatar galleries. Those galleries can be loaded by running loadavatargallery command.
Feel free to remove existing galleries or add your own.
If you create gallery named __default__ and set avatar gallery as default user avatar, Misago will select new users avatars from it while keeping this gallery hidden from existing users.
MISAGO_AVATARS_SIZES
Misago uses avatar cache that prescales avatars to requested sizes. Enter here sizes to which those should be optimized.
Warning
It's impossible to regenerate user avatars store for existing avatars. Misago comes with sane defaults for avatar sizes, with min. height for user avatar being 400 pixels square, and steps of 200, 150, 100, 64, 50 and 30px. However if you need larger avatar or different pregenerated dimensions, changing those will require you to manually remove avatars directory from your media storage as well as running misago.users.avatars.set_default_avatar function against every user registered.
MISAGO_BLANK_AVATAR
This path to static image file that Misago should use as blank avatar. Defaults to misago/img/blank-avatar.png.
MISAGO_BLEACH_CALLBACKS
Custom callbacks for bleach to customize automatic links substitution with bleach.linkify.
MISAGO_DYNAMIC_AVATAR_DRAWER
Function used to create unique avatar for this user. Allows for customization of algorithm used to generate those.
MISAGO_LOGIN_API_URL

MISAGO_SLUGIFY
Path to function or callable used by Misago to generate slugs. Defaults to misago.static.slugify.default. Use this function if you want to customize slugs generation on your community.
