Config

Settings for the framework setup in app/Config.php

Set the timezone to your local

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

Next, set the application web URL, Once the SITEURL is set it can be used to get the application address.

define('SITEURL', 'http://example.com/');

Set the base URL? if on the root of a domain it's a single '/' otherwise it's /foldername/

define('DIR', '/');

If using a database the database credentials will need adding:

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'database name');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', 'root');
define('PREFIX', 'nova_');

The prefix is optional but highly recommended, it's very useful when sharing databases with other applications, to avoid conflicts. The prefix should be the starting pattern of all table names likenova_users

Nova provides a session helper class, in order to avoid session conflicts a prefix is used.

define('SESSION_PREFIX', 'nova_');

The following tells the framework what theme folder to use for views

define('TEMPLATE','default');

Set the default language

define('LANGUAGE_CODE', 'en');

set the application name:

define('SITETITLE', 'Nova');

Set encryption key - used for encrypting cookies

define('ENCRYPT_KEY', '');

By default errors are logged but not displayed, to display them set this to true

Config::set('logger', array(
    'displayErrors' => false,
));

The default theme comes with a profiler, similar to browsers inspector to turn on:

Config::set('profiler', array(
    'useForensics' => false,
    'withDatabase' => false,
));
