System Settings

The System Settings module centralizes foundational configuration that affects the website, the admin, and the currently enabled modules.

Settings Hub

Starting from version 2026.3.0, the settings entry point is a hub landing page that displays all available setting categories in a grid layout. Each category opens in a dedicated sidebar view.

Categories

Detailed guide tree

• System dashboard: review server, database, directory, and composer information.
• Basic settings: manage the basic, contact, and image groups.
• Email settings: update email-related configuration.
• Module activation: enable or disable modules with dependency-aware guards.
• Upload settings: manage upload-related settings and media limits.
• Cache settings: update cache and performance-related settings.
• System menus: manage menus and nested menu items.
• System widgets: manage widgets, templates, inputs, and associated JS.
• System workflows: manage workflows, tags, triggers, and the workflow builder.
• API logs: inspect request logs by method, domain, type, and timestamp.

Two main screen patterns

• Dynamic setting forms: shared pattern based on initSettingList + initForm + /setting/save, with Save and Save & Sync.
• Specialized admin screens: dedicated pages such as Dashboard, Modules, Menu, Widget, Workflows, and API Logs.

Safe operating approach

1. Confirm scope before changing any shared configuration.
2. Prioritize validation for Cache, Upload, Email, and Modules during infrastructure or release work.
3. Record updates to Menu, Widget, and Workflow because they can affect multiple screens and behaviors at once.
