Settings Registry

The “Settings Registry” section (the “Design” tab) is the central place where a developer defines the properties and options of store elements. It is important for the owner to know that many configurable lists (Type, Status, Style, Content, etc.), found throughout the store, are extended here. The window consists of four tabs.

• Basic Settings — keys and their values by section: element types and options (products, sections, brands, attributes, filters, promo blocks…), “Callable Modules” (order calculation and processing), “Editor Settings” (classes, tags and HTML editor templates, image editor profiles and masks), “File Groups”, “Alternative Catalogs”, and more. System keys are marked with *.
• User Settings — key store variables that staff change in the “Settings” section; their names, input templates, values, and display permissions by groups and users are defined here.
• Additional Options — additional option sets for sections, attributes, brands, and suppliers (with fixed keys or an input template).
• Individual Filters — named SQL queries for products, orders, and customers; they appear in the “Advanced Query” of the corresponding section (see “Basic Operating Principles”).

Details on writing modules and SQL queries are in the developer’s guide.
