Upcoming Release Some or all of the features mentioned in this article may not be present in the current public release of Owl. |
Overview
Owl allows administrators to customize settings for their board and how it is presented in Owl. Administrators can also define custom parsers and extensions to be used on their board, as well as place ads within the Owl UI. The .owlconfig.ini is a text file that stores these settings. This file can (optionally) be created by the board administrators and should be placed in the forum's root folder. Hence, if the the full URL to the board is http://www.juot.net/boards/myboard then the .owlconfig.ini file should be accessible by going to http://www.juot.net/boards/myboard/.owlconfig.ini.
Example
The follow example defines the top and bottom ads displayed in Owl when viewing the message board and defines the custom parser that should be used when adding the board to Owl for the first time:
<source lang="ini">[Ads] ad.top=Visit our store for great deals and merchandise! <a href="http://www.juot.net/store">JUOT Store!</a> ad.bottom=Check out our network partner at <a href="http://www.anothermessageboard.com">anothermessageboard.com</a>!
[Parser] name=vbulletin3</source>

[Ads] Section
