Configuration is saved in the files: “config/general.php” and “config/lang_*.php”. Some options can be changed from the admin panel. Variables and tables in these files hold information about folders, languages, titles, description of sites, and other functions..

Below is placed a list of the most important tables, that can’t be changed from the admin panel:

- $config[’max_dimension_of_image’] – this table store maximum width of addition image. If its size is greatest than value in this table, image is resize to value stored in this table.

- $config[’dir_*’] - in tables, that keys started from “dir_” are stored information about folders, i.e.: databases, or files. Before site start you can change it to protect site for hackers.

- $config[’foto_jobs_ratio’] – if the quotient of width and the height of the picture is larger than the passed value in the board, then the written size while adding the picture will relate to the smaller side.
