#General

##Description This is a random name that you can assign to the plugin. It basically helps you recognise the plugin. This setting is especially helpful in situations where you maybe using more than one instance of a plugin.

##Full URL to Software Refers to the complete URL to eFront. Note that it should point to eFronts base directory, thus if the lowest directory you can access from the web is this should point to /www/. In some setups you can access eFront as if the installation of the server maps the base directory on the root. So it should look something like this http://www.yourdomain.com/efront/www for type B and http://www.yourdomain.com/ for type A (see 'before you begin')

##Full Path to Software This refers to the path of the efront installation on your server. It shall look something like this /home/my_account_name/my_domain_name/efront or /var/www/httpdocs/efront depending on your server setup. To help you determine the path you need for eFront jFusion has filled in the path to the Joomla installation.

##Avatar url This url should point to the root directory, in above example for type B it will be http://www.yourdomain.com/efront/. Type A installations do not allow avatar access from other software.

  • Cookie Domain: First try leaving this value empty. In the majority of the installations this will work. If the login checker shows no errors and you are not logged in then it is time to set this cookie domain field. If you do so, it is very essential to set this value also correctly in your eFront administration . The value should be set in both locations to '.yourdomain.com' (Without the ' '). This governs the cookie domain the generated cookies owns and is essential for dual login to work perfectly.

##Cookie Path Again, first try leaving this value empty. If you, after setting the cookie domain, still have problems logging in then it is time to set the cookie path. Start with '/'. This must be set in eFront as well. You can also try /efront if this is part of the url

##Cookie secure Determine if you need to secure the cookie with https. Most systems don't need this

##Cookie HTTP only Determine if the cookie will use only http. Most systems don't need this

##md5_key The wizard will pickup this eFront configuration item. Needed for password hash calculation.

##Uploadpath Needed to find the users Avatars. NOTE: if your setup has the eFront WWW directory as root, eg if the full url to Software points to that directory then the upload directories cannot be reached from the net (secure) and the Avatars cannot be loaded by the Jfusion software.

##API Key Password of the user providing access to the eFront API to allow some functionnalities with the plugins like delete an eFront user.

#Database Options Note: In almost al cases the wizard will fill in these parameters for you.

##Database Type (ie mysql) The type of database. mysql, mysqli etc. are among the various options.

##Database Host The database host. Most hosts use 'localhost' to connect to their Databases but certain provide specific URLs to access their databases like 'db.yourdomain.com'. Choose accordingly.

##Database Name The name of your Database used to install and run eFront.

##Database Username The username required to access the database.

##Database Password The password used to access the database for the above mentioned username.

##Table Prefix The table prefix for eFront tables in the Database.

##Databae Character Set The character set used for eFront tables in the Database.

#Login Options

##Login identifier This setting allows the user to login with his username, email or both when the eFront plugin is set as master and using jFusion loginform hosted on Joomla. You need this set to email if you integrate an email-only integration like oscommerce(clones) or Magento
