Advanced options

This page controls advanced features of Awasu.

• Auto-detect an Internet connection
  Suspends all channel updates and other Internet activity if your computer is not online.
• Delay before updating channels
  Awasu will wait before starting to update channels, either after the program has just started or after a system resume.

  This is useful for systems where there is a delay before the Internet connection is ready to be used e.g. because an IP address needs to be assigned.
• Proxy authentication
  Click here to set proxy authentication details.
• SMTP server (email)
  Click here to configure your SMTP server (for sending out emails).

  If you want to use GMail: Use a server address of gmail.com:465. Enable SSL and login. Enter your username/password. If you want to use Hotmail: Use a server address of smtp.live.com:587. Enable TLS and login. Enter your username/password.

  
  

• Token
  A security token that must be included in every call to the Awasu API.
• Server port
  The HTTP port that Awasu will listen on to process requests from web pages.

  You should only change this value if it is conflicting with another application.
• Remote access
  Allows access to the Awasu API from other computers.

• Allow feed URL's to be updated automatically by the publisher
  Publishers may notify feed readers that their feed has moved to a new address. Tick this box to allow Awasu to update your channels with the new URL.

  It is possible for improperly-configured networks (typically wifi networks that require you to log on before you can access the net) to cause your feed URL's become scrambled. Awasu will warn you if this appears to be happening and lets you revert them back to their original URL's.
• Enable auto-discovery
  Lets you know if Awasu finds any feeds being announced by web sites as you browse.
  
  
• Script timeout
  The maximum amount of time external scripts and programs will be allowed to run for.
• External HTML editor
  The path to another application to use for editing HTML content.

• Safe feed content
  Click here to control how Awasu ensures your feed content is safe before showing it to you.

  "Allow embedded multimedia" is a shorthand for allowing <object> and <iframe>, which are the most commonly used tags for embedding multimedia into web pages.
• Metadata modules
  Click here to control which metadata modules get processed when updating feeds.
• Templates
  Click here to define additional global template parameters.

  This feature can be used to control features in channel and report templates.
