Changing the Title, Description, and E-Mail Addresses

The title, description, and e-mail addresses are stored in a Plone site as properties on an object inside Plone. You can access these fields by clicking the Portal Settings link in the Plone control panel.

The portal settings are as follows:

• Portal title: This is the title of the site that will appear in the title for browsers, breadcrumbs, navigation, e-mails, and so on. The default is Portal.
• Portal description: This is the description for the portal, which is currently used only in syndication.
• Portal From' name: This field is related to various functions, such as a lost password or the 'send-to-a-friend” function. Plone sends the e-mail messages with this name attached. The default is Portal Administrator.
• Portal From' address: This is the address used for the e-mails that Plone sends. The default is postmaster@localhost.
• Default Language: This is the default language that's given in the properties of an object.
• Password policy: New users have two options; they can either enter a password or enter a password that's then e-mailed to them. Although in both cases they have to enter an e-mail address, the latter choice ensures that the e-mail address they enter is valid.
• Enable External Editor Feature: This will turn on External Editor, which is an advanced editing tool. It requires that External Editor be installed on the user's computer.
