# Advanced Settings

https://docs.wisecp.com/es/advanced-settings

Turn optional store and site features on or off, set upload and list limits, and add code to every page from one tab.

## Opening the Screen

Panel menu: **Settings**, then **General**, then the **Advanced** tab: `{admin}/settings?general=advanced`

Advanced is the last of eight tabs on this screen. A separate privilege controls whether it appears at all.

## What Is on the Screen

- **Catalog and ordering**: Which product families are for sale, the cart, and how a service's renewal date is worked out.
- **Support and records**: The support area switch, amount rounding, and where the next record numbers start.
- **Site behavior**: The cookie notice, forced https and www, and the sound played for incoming notifications.
- **Store features**: Coupons, the knowledge base and page caching, each a single switch.
- **Uploads and limits**: Allowed file types and sizes for uploads, plus how many rows the site's lists show per page.
- **Codes for every page**: Boxes for tracking, chat and verification code that should appear on every page.

One **Save Changes** button at the bottom saves everything on the tab at once.

## Fields

### Catalog and ordering

- **Product Group Activation**: One tile per product family the system offers: **Web Hosting**, **Server**, **Domain Name**, **Software** and **International SMS**. Turning a tile off removes the family from the catalog and blocks new orders; existing services keep running.
- **Cart System**: Lets a client add more than one service to an order at a time.
- **Activate Cart for Guests**: Lets signed out visitors browse the cart and order steps too; they are asked to sign in at the final step.
- **Service Renewal Time Method**: How a paid renewal invoice extends a service. **Based on Next Due Date** adds the period to the old due date. **Based on Paid Date** counts it from the payment date.

### Support and records

- **Support**: Turns the support ticket area on or off for clients.
- **Remove Zero from Amount**: Shows whole amounts without decimal zeros, 175 instead of 175.00.
- **Starting ID Numbers**: Sets the next number for **Client Starting**, **Order Starting** and **Ticket Starting**, one field each. Each must be higher than the current highest record of that type.
- **Client-To-Client Service Transfer**: Lets a client transfer a service to another client's account; the receiving client must confirm by email.

### Site behavior

- **Cookie Usage Notice**: Shows a cookie banner on the site. Turning it on reveals a **Page** field listing your Contract pages, to link the banner to one.
- **Automatic HTTPS**: Redirects every request to https://.
- **Automatic www**: Adds the www prefix to the address automatically.
- **Audible Alert**: Plays a sound in the panel for incoming notifications. Turning it on reveals **MP3** and **OGG** fields to upload a sound that replaces the default one.

### Store features

- **Coupon System**: Allows coupon codes on any product or service; the code box then appears in the cart.
- **Knowledge Base**: Turns the knowledge base area on or off.
- **Cache (Memory System)**: Remembers recent page data so pages load faster and the server works less.

### Uploads and limits

- **File Upload Settings**: Allowed extensions and maximum size, in MB, for order upload fields and ticket attachments. Each has its own extension list and size limit.
- **List and Pagination Limits**: Behind the **Edit limits** toggle: how many page numbers show at once. Also how many rows appear per page for news, articles, the knowledge base, software and client dashboard activity.

### Codes for every page

- **Analytics Code**: Tracking code such as Google Analytics, added to every page.
- **Live Support Code**: The embed code for a live chat widget.
- **Webmaster Tools Tag**: A verification tag for Google Search Console or a similar tool.
- **External Embed Code**: Any other embed code you want on every page of the site.

## Tasks

### Stop offering a product family

1. Open **Settings**, then **General**, then the **Advanced** tab.
2. In **Product Group Activation**, click the tile for the family, for example **Domain Name**, so it reads off.
3. Click **Save Changes**. The family leaves the catalog at once; existing services keep running.

### Set the starting ID numbers

1. Open the **Advanced** tab and find **Starting ID Numbers**.
2. Type the number each of **Client Starting**, **Order Starting** and **Ticket Starting** should continue from.
3. Click **Save Changes**. A number must be higher than the current highest record, or it is rejected.

### Turn on the cookie notice

1. Turn on **Cookie Usage Notice**.
2. In the **Page** field that appears, pick the page the banner should link to.
3. Click **Save Changes**. The banner appears on every page from then on.

### Add code to every page

1. Paste tracking code into **Analytics Code**, a chat widget's code into **Live Support Code**, or a verification tag into **Webmaster Tools Tag**.
2. Anything else goes into **External Embed Code**.
3. Click **Save Changes**. The code appears on every page.

## Things to Watch

> **A starting number can only move forward**
> 
> **Client Starting**, **Order Starting** and **Ticket Starting** are rejected if they are not higher than the current highest record of that type. A number that would go backward cannot be saved.

> **Turning off a product family is immediate**
> 
> Once saved, that family is gone from the ordering catalog right away. Existing services keep running; only new orders for that family are blocked.

> **Automatic HTTPS needs a working certificate first**
> 
> Turning it on redirects every request to https://. If the site's SSL certificate is not active yet, visitors reach a page that fails to load.

## Required Privileges

Opening this screen at all needs `SETTINGS_INFORMATIONS_CONFIGURE`. The Advanced tab itself, including saving it, needs `SETTINGS_OTHER_CONFIGURE`; without it, the tab does not appear.
