Add period prefix to cookie domain |
Normally Zen Cart will add a period prefix to the cookie domain, e.g. .www.mydomain.com. This can sometimes cause problems with some server configurations. If you are having session problems you may want to try setting this to False. Default Value = True

It really doesn't make any difference what this is set at unless you have a lot of people shipping to many different locations such as gift givers, wholesale reps shipping to customers, etc. Changing the number doesn't increase database load though if they use up all of them, it does increase the size of the database. Not really a big deal if so. |

Admin Activity Logs |
Admin Activity Logs |
The Admin Activity Log is a tracking method that records activity in the Admin.
Due to its nature it can become very large, very quickly and does need to be cleaned out from time to time.
Warnings are given at 50,000 records or 60 days, which ever happens first. They show up in yellow at the top of admin and it's the question I answer the most often because cart owners get freaked out!
There's a big difference between 1.3.9h and 1.5x for this. A good part of this explanation comes from 1.5x.
NOTE: For PCI Compliance, you are required to retain admin activity log history for 12 months. You can download the history and then delete it from the database. |

Admin Session Time Out in Seconds |
Enter the time in seconds.
Max allowed is 900 for PCI Compliance Reasons.
Default=900
Example: 900= 15 min
Note: Too few seconds can result in timeout issues when adding/editing products |
This means that you can increase the max if you aren't worrying about PCI compliance but most servers only allow 20 minutes anyway and changing this setting cannot override the server. |

Enter the time in seconds for how long the max_execution_time of processes should be. Default=60

Note: Changing the time limit is only needed if you are having problems with the execution time of a process |
I have never heard of anyone changing this but if someone is having these kind of problems, they need to get new hosting. |

All of those except one are graphic files. Never put php or any other dynamic file extension here. You could allow customers to upload word docs but most likely those will not what you need for printing or imprinting. If you wanted to add word docs, use doc and docx. |
