Settings¶

Django-XenForo has a number of settings that control its behavior. They’ve been given defaults that match a standard XenForo install. If you’ve altered your XenForo config, then you’ll want to modify these as appropriate in your project’s settings.py.

Type:	String

The DATABASES connection to use for querying the XenForo database.

django.conf.settings.IP_ADDRESS_KEY¶

django.conf.settings.TABLE_PREFIX¶
