This part of config service allows you to determine the number of items that display on each page in the various services: news, blog posts comments, reactions to articles, messages in the guestbook, forum threads ...

The boxes have been filled with default values​​. You can leave them as is or will enter the values ​​of your choice.

Tip: think about the functionality of your site. Example: if you have a lot of comments in your blog, it is more convenient for visitors to access their reading if the list includes 15 comments following that 5 on several pages! Value will then be set at 25.
 

 

RSS : 
"Really Simple Syndication", also referred to as RSS feeds. This is a file that a web or blog site provides its visitors with.
In this file are grouped the title and content of the latest articles or blog entry or news, and a link to go to the website in question.
 

GuppY gives you the ability to offer this service to your visitors.

The other two settings in this area:

RSS in the social networks box : Guppy comes with a social networking box where the corresponding buttons to well-known social networks show. If you tick the box, the RSS button will be visible in the same box, allowing on a click visitors into the RSS service you have chosen to offer them.

Cache RSS: set to 1 day by default, this is the refresh rate of the feed:

For example, if you publish a new article, it will be visible in the RSS feed in the next 24 hours at most after its publication.

If you set the cache value to 15 minutes, the item will be visible at the most 15 minutes after its publication.

To learn how to set up the RSS service, refer to the particular help to this service.

You must check the services that you use on your site so that URLs are taken into account in the generation of sitemaps for your website.
After generating sitemaps, you must indicate their presence in each of the search engines.

The major search engines provide after registration files to the root of your site for easy indexing.

Depending on your choice, visitors can leave comments, post news, a topic of discussion in the forum ...

visitors'contributions

Anti-spam system:

Spam refers to a pollutant email or unwanted email, sent in bulk for advertising, hoaxes, swindling via an email address left on a forum, a comment, a form...

Guppy includes a whole anti-spam system to prevent as much as possible these sendings:

The maximum number of codes stored indicates the amount of malicious data antispam file must store (minimum 50 in the example : 150) codes;

The validity of a code in minutes represents the time during which a code is kept in the same file before being replaced by another (minimum 10 minutes, in the example: 20 minutes).

Accordingly, if a user sends a script in a forum post, this command will be stored for a minimum of 20 minutes (see illustration above) . Therefore, if a script is sending a burst release, all posts containing that very injected script will be denied entry .

Renaming sensitive files is an important protection for all files using forms .
Since mid-March 2013, a wave of spam has invaded the web, spambots posting thousands of spam to unprotected sites every 24 hours.
It is strongly recommended to apply the renaming on your site and it is in this area that you can do so by replacing the original name with a name of your choice.

The captcha is a test used in computing and networks to differentiate automatically a human user from a computer one.

This type of test is often found on websites or blogs forms to protect against malicious robots made ​​by and intensive automated submissions.

This captcha is based mostly on reading a series of distorted letters or digits that only a human can analyse and write.

Guppy allows you to use the captcha in forms available to visitors. Simply tick the boxes .

Caution: for the wave of spam in 2013, it seems inconceivable not to use a captcha to protect its website from this scourge of spam.

You can choose between two different captchas : captcha sensitive or non-sensitive to simple text and a second more sophisticated captcha text where you must enter a code corresponding to a display of letters and numbers.

Sample text captcha without breakage:

You can receive email monitoring different events on your site :

visitor's contribution : Publishing a blog post, comment, reaction to an article, publication of a new post in the forum ...
But also, you can be notified of the registration of a new member, a registration for the newsletter, a value reached by the hit counter .

In short, be aware of everything that happens on your site.

Type e-mail: However, this service only works if your host allows it. Please contact your host to find out the SMTP parameters of your hosting. If you do not receive anything, it is because your host does not allow the sending of supervision e-mails from your site.

Attention: a domain name email is required for Webmaster Email in general configuration, PHP Email must be checked and PHPmailer Email is selected by default. All emails from the site will be authenticated by the server on the condition that the webmaster email is a domain name email.

Email: Tick ​​the boxes to choose which event you want to be notified .

Email list receiving supervision:  Then at the bottom of this part, you have to enter the webmaster's e-mail and you can add several e-mails of the people to whom this supervision is addressed.  For example: guppy@guppy.cms admin@guppy.cms webmestre@mondomaine.org...

Do not forget to click the button "Save config" once you have completed your choice!
