Newscoop 4.1 für Journalisten und Redakteure
Systemeinstellungen
Die Systemeinstellungen verbergen sich unter Konfiguration im Hauptnavigationsmenü von Newscoop. Über die Systemeinstellungen werden komplexere Aspekte des Newscoop Servers kontrolliert, daher ist es ratsam dass diese nur für Administratoren zugänglich sind.
Allgemeine Einstellungen
Der erste Abschnitt der Systemeinstellungen sind die Allgemeinen Einstellungen.
Nun zu den Optionen im Einzelnen:
- Seite online: Hier können Sie über den Ja oder Nein Button entscheiden, den gesamten Newscoop Server offline zu nehmen, zum Beispiel im Rahmen einer planmäßigen Instandhaltung des Servers.
- Seiten Titel: Der Standardname der Webseite Ihrer Publikation. Im Template kann festgelegt werden, wo dieser Seitentitel angezeigt wird.
- Metaschlagwörter der Seite: The default keyword meta tags in your header template, for search engine optimization.
- Site Meta Description: The default description meta tag in your header template, also for search engines.
- Time Zone: This field enables you to override the server's own time zone setting, which is typically set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or UTC. You may wish for your Newscoop interface to display local time instead, for instance when scheduling publication time for a particular issue.
- Database Cache Engine: enables or disables the APC cache, which can improve Newscoop performance. APC is an alternative to xcache.
- Template Cache Handler: Select DB to enable the cache for templates.
- Imagecache lifetime: The time that images will be cached for, from 30 seconds to infinite.
- Allow password recovery: Whether users can get a password reminder by email. Note that if this feature is enabled and your email account is compromised, your Newscoop publication can easily be compromised in turn.
- From email address: The email address used for notifications from the system.
- Secret Key: The security key that Newscoop can use for integration of web services and other advanced features.
- Session Lifetime: Enables you to specify the maximum duration of Newscoop administration sessions without re-authentication, which is a security feature.
- Keyword separator: Specify the separator for Keywords in the Edit Article page (comma or hyphen).
- Number of failed login attempts before showing CAPTCHA: A security measure designed to foil password-guessing robots.
- Maximum upload file size: The maximum size of attachments that users of your server can upload.
- SMTP Host: The server that Newscoop will use for sending out email notifications.
- SMTP Port: The port number that Newscoop will use on the specified email server.
- Collect statistics: This option enables the collection of statistics on reader access to publications on the server. You may wish to click No if you use a third-party statistical service, as disabling the collection of statistics may reduce the load on your Newscoop server.
Editoreinstellungen
Der zweite Abschnitt ist für die Editoreinstellungen, die sich auf den Umgang mit Bildern beziehen.
In diesem Abschnitt werden Standard The fields in this section enable you to specify the default resize ratio, or default width and height, for images in articles. If the Zoom enabled for images in article content? radio button is set to Yes, readers can enlarge article images in your publication's pages by clicking on them.
Externe Abonnementverwaltung
Der dritte Abschnitt dient der externen Verwaltung von Abonnements. 
If you select the Yes radio button for the Reader subscriptions managed externally? option, the subscription management features in the Newscoop administration interface are hidden. The subscription data is still held in the Newscoop database, which your system administrator will have connected to your third-party subscription management software.
Newscoop Replication Server
The fourth section enables you to set up Newscoop to operate on two servers at once, which is a safety feature in case of hardware or network problems.
Selecting the Yes radio button for the option Setting up a Newscoop Replication Server? displays four fields:
- Database Replication Host: The name or IP address of the remote database server.
- Database Replication User: The user name to connect with on the remote server.
- Database Replication Password: The password to submit on the remote server.
- Database Replication Port: The port number to connect to on the remote server (the default port number is 3306).
Template filter mask
Enter keywords for templates that you wish to hide from the template editor accessible via the Theme Management page. For example, templates that are no longer in use, but you do not wish to delete from the server.
Scheduled tasks
Run scheduled tasks externally? means to use the server's own cron scheduler for automated tasks, rather than the scheduler included in Newscoop.
Geostandort Einstellungen
In diesem Abschnitt wird festgelegt, wie Karten, die mit einem Artikel verlinkt sind, angezeigt werden und welcher Kartenprovider standardmäßig die Kartendaten zur Verfügung stellen soll.
Videoeinstellungen
Hier werden Standardhöhe und -breite für sowohl extern gehostete - also eingebettete - als auch für nur lokal verfügbare Videodateien festgelegt, um sicher zu stellen, dass die Videos im Template der Publikation korrekt angezeigt werden.
