EnglishYeah, I understand that it hasn't been done yet, that is why I post it in "Request" forum :)

As far as I can see about 90% of config settings are simple values (strings, ints, bools), so it would be great to have at least them :)
I agree: many interesting configuration settings but not user friendly at all.
I had planned to create a plugin that would read include/config_defaults.inc.php and automatically generates a web interface. But...
1) it's not done yet
2) it would be OK to display a description for each setting in english, but more complicated for other languages (but this problem also exists when you edit the file)

Hi all,
recently I had to change the default time when the next comment can be submitted. I found the solution in the config.inc file settings. But to find it I spent an hour searching the forum, then reading config settings and so on. It looks like that many interesting settings can be changed via this file. But it is quite hard to find what you need and it is not very user friendly. It would be much better to have a separate page in the configuration part of the admin menu with checkboxes, input fields and have some explanations there. I understand that it is not so easy to do, so at least it would be nice to see the help part about the config setting (that you have in the documentation) in the local file editor plug in.
Thanks.
