Hi,
Great software, however, there really isn't much documentation surrounding the System Preferences and Settings. I sort of expected there would be information about this in the Wiki but there isn't. Searching the forums is very cumbersome and you often have to read through a lot of posts before you find anything that's relevant.
Would it be possible to update the wiki with some information on what each of the items in System Preferences and Settings controls. Certainly some are self-explanatory, however some are not particularly clear e.g.
Default System Email: is this the originating email or where emails are sent, and what's it for?
Default Alert Email: it says "Used to send out alerts and notices to staff." Ok fine, but is that where emails are coming from or going to?
System Admin Email Address: what is this used for?
Also under Edit Emails
Authentication Required?: well, the email address requires username and password to be entered before sending emails, but is that what this field does or does it do something else? Despite having the correct details on our form it fails to save with Authentication checked and saves although does not send emails with it unchecked.
I can look at the code to see what some of these things do but it would be much easier for all if this info was available on the Wiki or as part of a guide somewhere.
