Settings for settings.py file

  • ALLOW_UNICODE_SLUGS - if True, slugs will use unicode, default - False

  • ASKBOT_DELAYED_EMAIL_ALERTS_CUTOFF_TIMESTAMP - a datetime isnstance, useful when enabling email alerts on a site with a lot of existing content. This prevents spamming users with update alerts on content created long before the perioding email alerts were enabled.
