Config Overview
![]() |
NewsRog has a large number of configuration options. Some of the configuration options are settable on a per-group basis, but others are global in scope or can be set for all groups matching a particular pattern. The main configuration editor edits config options which are not group specific. The click tabs across the top of the configuration window can be used to edit different configuration areas. |

Article View Options |
When a new group is created, the initial article data displayed in the article list is copied from this template. Thereafter, it may be changed on a per-group basis. Data items may be dragged back and forth between the displayed and hidden columns, or reordered within one column. |
Filter Options |
These global filters can be used in any group who's name matches the Group Pattern entered for that filter. For more information, read about NewsRog Selection Filters and Display Filters. |
Variable Editor |
These global variables can be referenced in any place that you can use a NewsRog variable name. The global values supplied by NewsRog are highlighted, but you can also define your own in any manner you chose. Variable values are not bound until the variable is referenced, so you can define global variables here that act almost like function calls. See the reference documentation on the variable lookup system for more information. |
Custom Headers |
When posts are sent to the network, custom headers from this list are appended to them, unless this option is turned off in the Post Editor. Headers are posted to groups which match the pattern listed under Group Patt, if present. The Mode button controls the behavior of the group pattern for crossposted articles. For example, consider an article crossposted to both comp.sys.amiga.misc and comp.sys.be. If the mode gadget is set to Any, then the indicated header will be posted if any group in the crosspost list matches this pattern. For example, if this pattern is comp.sys.amiga.*, then the header will be generated. Conversely, if the mode gadget is set to All, then the pattern must match all groups in the crosspost list. For example, this would be the case if the pattern was comp.*, but not if it was comp.sys.amiga.*. |
