RSS-Bridge supports custom configurations for common parameters on the server side!
A default configuration file (config.default.ini.php
) is shipped with RSS-Bridge.
Please do not edit this file, as it gets replaced when upgrading RSS-Bridge!
You should, however, use this file as template to create your own configuration (or leave it as is, to keep the default settings). In order to create your own configuration perform following actions:
- Create the file
config.ini.php
in the RSS-Bridge root folder (next toconfig.default.ini.php
) - Copy the contents from
config.default.ini.php
to your configuration file - Change the parameters to satisfy your requirements
RSS-Bridge will automatically detect the config.ini.php
and use it.
If the file doesn’t exist it will default to config.default.ini.php
automatically.
Notice: If a parameter is not specified in your config.ini.php
RSS-Bridge will
automatically use the default settings from config.default.ini.php
.
