ip3_config.txt

The ip_config.txt file is used only by the QuickPost page. It's settings enable or disable various controls and behaviours.

Each setting can be optionally postfixed with an OrganisationID (separated by a colon). If the OrganisationID is present, then the setting only applies to users of that organisation. If the OrganisationID is absent, then the setting applies to all users.

Each setting can appear more than once, with or without the OrganisationID suffix. Settings are processed in the order they appear, with their effect being cumulative.

Examples of controlling which organisations will be affected by a particular setting

Show the status bar for all organisations

showStatusBar

Show the status bar only for organisations 2 and 7

showStatusBar:2
showStatusBar:7

Show the status bar for all organisations except 2 and 7

showStatusBar
hideStatusBar:2
hideStatusBar:7

N.B. the global setting is written first, and the organisation-specific settings follow
