Config Screen (V1 and V2)
last updated April 23, 2019
In version 3, the Configuration screen was removed because multiple blog capability was added. Now each blog has it's own individual configuration.
Image Directory
This is where the images you drag and drop into your posts are stored. This can be a multi level directory, such as images/store/blogs. The directories will be created if they don't exist.
Use built in light box for images
Clicking on blog images will open them up in a floating window. The script that runs the lightbox is extremely light weight and worry free.
Store Module Path
Using the default setting usually works. This is necessary for some behind the scenes interaction.
Global Administrator
Your customer account login name. This gives you unfettered access in the Authors Portal to publish, write, and moderate all comments and posts.
Global Administrator Login Password
This is a convenience that allows you to automatically log into your author account without going through the login process manually.

This will automatically save your blog post every time it detects a new line. Useful if you walk away from your blog post and the system logs you out.
