Configuration Options

Configuration options allow you to set a number of BrilliantRetail configuration variables in the system files. Below is a list of the configuration options currently available.

br_media_url

The media url variable allows you to override the Media Url setting in the BrilliantRetail admin.

$config['br_media_url'] = 'http://www.example.com';

br_secure_url

The secure url variable allows you to override the Secure Url setting in the BrilliantRetail admin.

$config['br_secure_url'] = 'https://www.example.com';

br_media_dir

The media directory variable allows you to override the Media Directory setting in the BrilliantRetail admin. This is the full path to the media directory.

$config['br_media_dir'] = '/www/user/public_html/media';

br_disable_product_cache

By default the system caches individual product queries to a local file. The greatly improves the overall query performance. You can disabled it during development by setting the value to TRUE.

$config['br_disable_product_cache'] = TRUE;

br_hide_blank_option

By default configurable products have an initial 'blank' option. By setting the br_hide_blank_option to TRUE the first option in the list will be automatically selected.

$config['br_hide_blank_option'] = TRUE;

br_filter_power

The price buckets on the layered navigation are built using the PHP pow() method which is set to 10 by default. Adjusting the value to another exponential base like 5,15,20,25, etc may result in better range filters based on your product price distribution.

$config['br_filter_power'] = 10;

br_suppress_new_account_email

When in guest checkout mode BrilliantRetail still creates an account to pair the order too. BrilliantRetail automatically sends a welcome email when creating the new account. You can suppress the email by setting the configuration variable to TRUE as shown. added 1.1.0.1

$config['br_suppress_new_account_email'] = TRUE;

br_display_out_of_stock

By default BrilliantRetail will not display out of stock items to the end user. The br_display_out_of_stock flag allows you to display the product and you can test for the stock status in the product with the in_stock variable. added 1.1.0.1

$config['br_display_out_of_stock'] = TRUE;

br_license

The license variable allows you to enter the license key directly into the config file instead of entering as a setting in the BrilliantRetail admin.

$config['br_license']               = 'abcde-1234-XXXX';
