Global site settings

Description: This module allows you to configure the website's digital and corporate identity by managing contact information, logos, SEO settings, registration policies, and multilingual support.

What is it for? (Practical examples)

Use Global Settings to:

• Ensure that company contact details (such as VAT number, phone, and address) are always up-to-date and correctly used in automated communications (e.g., invoices or emails).
• Customize the visual appearance of the reserved area (backend) and the login page with your company logos and colors.
• Control how your site is indexed by search engines (Google, Bing) and manage your presence on social media.

Main Features

1. General Data and Contacts

• Site Identity: Manages the site name and a short description (motto), both configurable in multiple languages.
• Company Data: Allows entry of the Company Name and VAT number.
• Contacts: Management of primary contacts (phone, mobile, FAX, email, PEC).
• Additional Numbers: Ability to add unlimited additional phone numbers, each with a specific description (e.g., "Sales Office," "Support").
• Location: Entry and management of the company's geographic data.

2. Logos and Visual Identity

• Standard Logos: Upload of the main logo and the Favicon (the icon displayed in the browser tab).
• Advanced Logos: Options to upload logos specific to different contexts (e.g., white logo for dark backgrounds, logo for emails, logo for Web App and Watermark).
• Login Customization: Choice of the logo to display on the login page (main logo, custom logo, or Framework360 default logo) and upload of a dedicated background image.
• Backend: Settings for the logo displayed in the top bar and during page loading (preloader) within the administration panel.

3. Social Media

Automatic Integrations

• Unified Corporate Identity: Company Name, VAT number, and contact data are automatically retrieved and used by other system modules, such as document generation (e.g., quotes, invoices) or transactional email sending.
• Multilingual Management: The selection of active languages and the primary language determines which translations are available throughout the system (frontend and backend).
• Meta Tags Plugin: The system notifies if the Meta Tags plugin is not installed and offers a quick link for its installation, allowing more granular management of custom SEO meta tags.
• Automatic Sitemap: The system automatically generates and updates the sitemap, but the user can force an immediate update via the dedicated button.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI): Changing the OpenAI or Gemini API keys resets some internal references, ensuring that AI features (such as chatbots) update correctly with the new credentials.
