Repository site-wide settings


Article Summary

As a Site Administrator you can configure some site-wide settings for repositories. 

SettingDescriptionNotes

Cache expire

The amount of time that file listings are cached locally (in seconds) when browsing external repositories.

-

Get file timeout

Timeout in seconds for downloading an external file into Totara.

-

Sync file timeout

Timeout in seconds for synchronising the external file size.

-

Sync image timeout

Timeout in seconds for downloading an image file from external repository during synchronisation.

Allow external links

This option enables all users to choose whether or not external media is copied into Totara or not. If this is disabled then media is always copied into Totara (this is usually best for overall data integrity and security). If this is enabled then users can choose each time they add media to a text.

Legacy course files in new courses

By default, legacy course files areas are available in upgraded courses only. Please note that some features such as activity backup and restore are not compatible with this setting.

-

Allow adding to legacy course files

If a course has legacy course files, allow new files and folders to be added to it.
