Needed settings

Name	Label	Used for
submissionsoff	Turn off unsolicited submissions:	When this is set to 'off' only admins will be able to submit items to the archive. The submission options will not appear in the member's area.
autovalidate	Automatically validate all stories	Setting this to 'no' forces new stories from into a queue for the site's admins to approve. You can 'validate' specific authors to allow them to by-pass this validation. When this setting is set to 'yes', all stories are automatically accepted into the archive.
coauthallowed	Co-authors allowed	By selecting 'yes' you are allowing authors to have co-authors for their stories.
roundrobins	Allow round robins	Round robins are stories in which an author posts the beginning of the story then other authors are encouraged to add to it. If you don't want this type of story, turn this setting off.
allowseries	Allow Series	This setting determines who, if anyone, may add series to the site. You may choose to allow all members to add series, or only authors or only admins.
favorites	Allow Favorites	Allow members to list their favorite stories, series, and authors within their profile.
multiplecats	Number of categories	If you have only one category, you should set this to 'only one'. Doing so will create shortcuts in a few areas where of the site where category selection is required when there is more than one category.
extendcats	Display category path in listings	By selecting 'yes', the breadcrumb path to the selected category will be shown in story listings. Choosing 'no' will show only the category and not it's parent categories.
displayindex	Use Story Index	Defines whether or not the story index (table of contents) is displayed by default in multi-chapter stories.
defaultsort	Default Story Sort	Select the order in which to sort stories by default. Your choices are Alphabetically or Most Recent (newest to oldest).
displayprofile	Display Profile	Select 'yes' if you wish for the member's profile to be displayed at all times on the viewuser page.
