5.6 Settings override

Override of the global settings

The global settings of MarkNotes are defined in the /settings.json.dist file. That file is everytime read and processed.

Then, if you want, you can override these settings by just creating a /settings.json file in your web root folder. You don't need to copy/paste the file but just copy/paste the settings you want to override; for instance the language.

Just put this content and not the full content; it's not needed.

{
	"language": "en"
}

Then, if you want, you can also override the settings in a specific folder like, for instance, in /docs/private (where you'll put private notes).

So, just put a settings.json in the folder /docs/private with, f.i.,

{
    "templates": {
        "html": "private"
    }
}

and for every html pages displayed for that folder (only the folder and not the children), the template will be private.html.

And, finally, you can also do this for a note. For instance, if you've a note called /doc/customer/VIP/aesecure.md, then just create the file /doc/customer/VIP/aesecure.json with this content :

{
    "templates": {
        "html": "aesecure"
    }
}

or, if you don't want that this specific note can be indexed by a search engine, just add :

{
	"page": {
		"robots": "noindex, nofollow"
	},
}

That's it. You can override the settings at three different places : on the application level, on a folder folder or on a note level.
