20.SH NAME
21pkgconfdir/config - DisOrder jukebox configuration
22.SH DESCRIPTION
23The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the
24control of multiple users.
25\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file but this
26man page currently documents all of its various configuration files.
27.SS Tracks
28DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them
29by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for
30instance, "*.mp3").
31.PP
32Although the model is of filenames, it is not inherent that there are
33corresponding real files - merely that they can be interpreted by the chosen
34player.
35See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
36.PP
37Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it.
38These are simple key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you
39like, but a number of keys have specific meanings.
40See \fBdisorder\fR(1) for more details about these.
41.SS "Track Names"
42Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular
43expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name
44information.
45They can be overridden by setting preferences.
46.PP
47Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right
48underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if
49the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted.
50.SS "Server State"
51A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
52random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
53.SS "Users And Access Control"
54DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
55This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
56views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
57.PP
58Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
59execute.
60Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
61cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
62.PP
63The full set of rights are:
64.TP
65.B read
66User can perform read-only operations
67.TP
68.B play
69User can add tracks to the queue
70.TP
71.B "move any"
72User can move any track
73.TP
74.B "move mine"
75User can move their own tracks
76.TP
77.B "move random"
78User can move randomly chosen tracks
79.TP
80.B "remove any"
81User can remove any track
82.TP
83.B "remove mine"
84User can remove their own tracks
85.TP
86.B "remove random"
87User can remove randomly chosen tracks
88.TP
89.B "scratch any"
90User can scratch any track
91.TP
92.B "scratch mine"
93User can scratch their own tracks
94.TP
95.B "scratch random"
96User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
97.TP
98.B volume
99User can change the volume
100.TP
101.B admin
102User can perform admin operations
103.TP
104.B rescan
105User can initiate a rescan
106.TP
107.B register
108User can register new users.
109Normally only the
110.B guest
111user would have this right.
112.TP
113.B userinfo
114User can edit their own userinfo
115.TP
116.B prefs
117User can modify track preferences
118.TP
119.B "global prefs"
120User can modify global preferences
121.TP
122.B pause
123User can pause/resume
124.PP
125Access control is entirely used-based.
126If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
127accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
128available.
129Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
130but everything else is.
131The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
132the network layer.
133.SS "Web Interface"
134The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
135kind of page, and a collection of option files.
136These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
137make it more convenient to override specific bits.
138.PP
139The web interface connects to the DisOrder server like any other user, though
140it is given a special privilege to "become" any other user.
141(Thus, any process with the same UID as the web interface is very
142powerful as far as DisOrder goes.
143This model will be changed in a future version.)
144.PP
145Access control to the web interface is (currently) separate from DisOrder's own
146access control (HTTP authentication is required) but uses the same user
147namespace.
148.SS "Searching And Tags"
149Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
150A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
151.PP
152Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
153of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
154.PP
155.nf
156 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
157 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
158 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
159 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
160 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
161 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
162.fi
163.PP
164The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
165disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
166as internal whitespace.
167.PP
168Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
169the tags are separated by commas.
170Therefore tags may not contain commas.
171.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
172.SS "General Syntax"
173Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
174feed, carriage return, form feed).
175Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
176.PP
177Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
178may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
179quotation marks or apostrophes.
180Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
181a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
182.TP
183.B \e\e
184Backslash
185.TP
186.B \e"
187Quotation mark
188.\" "
189.TP
190.B \e'
191Apostrophe
192.TP
193.B \en
194Line feed
195.PP
196No other escape sequences are allowed.
197.PP
198Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
199further fields are parameters.
200Lines with no fields are ignored.
201.PP
202After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
203it re-read it.
204If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
205message and ignore the new config file.
206(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
207as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
208.SS "Configuration Files"
209Configuration files are read in the following order:
210.TP
211.I pkgconfdir/config
212.TP
213.I pkgconfdir/config.private
214Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
215Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
216.TP
217.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
218Per-user client configuration.
219Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
220Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
221.TP
222.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
223Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
224Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
225Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
226.IP
227The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
228\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
229.SS "Global Configuration"
230.TP
231.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
232The home directory for state files.
233Defaults to
234.IR pkgstatedir .
235The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
236.TP
237.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
238Adds a directory to the plugin path.
239(This is also used by the web interface.)
240.IP
241Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
242so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
243guaranteed to take effect.
244.IP
245If
246.B plugins
247is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
248.SS "Server Configuration"
249.TP
250.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
251Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
252preferences.
253.IP
254Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
255to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
256\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
257.IP
258The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
259second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
260.IP
261The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
262automatically included, but should include the proper extension.
263.IP
264The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.
265.TP
266.B api \fINAME\fR
267Selects the backend used to play sound and to set the volume.
268The following options are available:
269.RS
270.TP
271.B alsa
272Use the ALSA API.
273This is only available on Linux systems, on which it is the default.
274.TP
275.B coreaudio
276Use Apple Core Audio.
277This only available on OS X systems, on which it is the default.
278.TP
279.B oss
280Use the OSS (/dev/dsp) API.
281Not available on all platforms.
282.TP
283.B command
284Execute a command.
285This is the default if
286.B speaker_command
287is specified, or if no native is available.
288.TP
289.B network
290Transmit audio over the network.
291This is the default if \fBbroadcast\fR is specified.
292You can use
293.BR disorder-playrtp (1)
294to receive and play the resulting stream on Linux and OS X.
295.RE
296.TP
297.B authorization_algorithm \fIALGORITHM\fR
298Defines the algorithm used to authenticate clients.
299The valid options are sha1 (the default), sha256, sha384 and sha512.
300See
301.BR disorder_protocol (5)
302for more details.
303.TP
304.B broadcast \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
305Transmit sound data to \fIADDRESS\fR using UDP port \fIPORT\fR.
306This implies \fBapi network\fR.
307.IP
308See also \fBmulticast_loop\fR and \fBmulticast_ttl\fR.
309.TP
310.B broadcast_from \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
311Sets the (local) source address used by \fBbroadcast\fR.
312.TP
313.B channel \fICHANNEL\fR
314The mixer channel that the volume control should use.
315.IP
316For \fBapi oss\fR the possible values are:
317.RS
318.TP 8
319.B pcm
320Output level for the audio device.
321This is probably what you want and is the default.
322.TP
323.B speaker
324Output level for the PC speaker, if that is connected to the sound card.
325.TP
326.B pcm2
327Output level for alternative codec device.
328.TP
329.B vol
330Master output level.
331The OSS documentation recommends against using this, as it affects all
332output devices.
333.RE
334.IP
335You can also specify channels by number, if you know the right value.
336.IP
337For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the name of the mixer control to use.
338The default is \fBPCM\fR.
339Use \fBamixer scontrols\fR or similar to get a full list.
340.IP
341For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
342.TP
343.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIENCODING\fR \fIROOT\fR
344.TP
345.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIROOT\fR
346.TP
347.B collection \fIROOT\fR
348Define a collection of tracks.
349.IP
350\fIMODULE\fR defines which plugin module should be used for this
351collection.
352Use the supplied \fBfs\fR module for tracks that exist as ordinary
353files in the filesystem.
354If no \fIMODULE\fR is specified then \fBfs\fR is assumed.
355.IP
356\fIENCODING\fR defines the encoding of filenames in this collection.
357For \fBfs\fR this would be the encoding you use for filenames.
358Examples might be \fBiso\-8859\-1\fR or \fButf\-8\fR.
359If no encoding is specified then the current locale's character encoding
360is used.
361.IP
362NB that this default depends on the locale the server runs in, which is not
363necessarily the same as that of ordinary users, depending how the system is
364configured.
365It's best to explicitly specify it to be certain.
366.IP
367\fIROOT\fR is the root in the filesystem of the filenames and is
368passed to the plugin module.
369It must be an absolute path and should not end with a "/".
370.TP
371.B cookie_key_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
372Lifetime of the signing key used in constructing cookies. The default is one
373week.
374.TP
375.B cookie_login_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
376Lifetime of a cookie enforced by the server. When the cookie expires the user
377will have to log in again even if their browser has remembered the cookie that
378long. The default is one day.
379.TP
380.B default_rights \fIRIGHTS\fR
381Defines the set of rights given to new users.
382The argument is a comma-separated list of rights.
383For the possible values see
384.B "Users And Access Control"
385above.
386.IP
387The default is to allow everything except \fBadmin\fR and \fBregister\fR
388(modified in legacy configurations by the obsolete \fBrestrict\fR directive).
389.TP
390.B device \fINAME\fR
391Sound output device.
392.IP
393For \fBapi oss\fR this is the path to the device to use.
394If it is set to \fBdefault\fR then \fI/dev/dsp\fR and \fI/dev/audio\fR
395will be tried.
396.IP
397For \fBapi alsa\fR this is the device name to use.
398.IP
399For \fBapi coreaudio\fR this is currently ignored.
400.IP
401The default is \fBdefault\fR, which is intended to map to whatever the system's
402default is.
403.TP
404.B gap \fISECONDS\fR
405Specifies the number of seconds to leave between tracks.
406The default is 0.
407.IP
408NB this option currently DOES NOT WORK. If there is genuine demand it might be
409reinstated.
410.TP
411.B history \fIINTEGER\fR
412Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including
413failed tracks and scratches).
414.TP
415.B listen \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
416Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port
417specified by \fISERVICE\fR.
418If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then listens on all local addresses.
419.IP
420Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket.
421.TP
422.B lock yes\fR|\fBno
423Determines whether the server locks against concurrent operation.
424Default is \fByes\fR.
425There is no good reason to set this to \fBno\fR and the option will
426probably be removed in a future version.
427.TP
428.B mixer \fIDEVICE\fR
429The mixer device name, if it needs to be specified separately from
430\fBdevice\fR.
431.IP
432For \fBapi oss\fR this should be the path to the mixer device and the default
433is \fI/dev/mixer\fR.
434.IP
435For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the index of the mixer control to use.
436The default is 0.
437.IP
438For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
439.TP
440.B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno
441Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host.
442The default is \fByes\fR.
443This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR
444is actually a multicast address.
445.TP
446.B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR
447Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets.
448This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and
449\fBbroadcast\fR is actually a multicast address.
450The default is 1.
451.TP
452.B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
453Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a
454track name (with the collection root part removed).
455Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR.
456.IP
457Track names can be different in different contexts.
458For instance the sort string might include an initial track number,
459but this would be stripped for the display string.
460\fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the
461contexts in which this directive will be used.
462.IP
463Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR.
464.IP
465All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order.
466The first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context,
467and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that
468matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from
469\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
470.IP
471Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
472not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
473that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
474.IP
475If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be
476supplied automatically.
477But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
478The defaults are equivalent to:
479.PP
480.nf
481namepart title "/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
482namepart title "/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
483namepart album "/([^/]+)/[^/]+$" $1 *
484namepart artist "/([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+$" $1 *
485namepart ext "(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)$" $1 *
486.fi
487.TP
488.B new_max \fIMAX\fR
489The maximum number of tracks to list when reporting newly noticed tracks.
490The default is 100.
491.TP
492.B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR
493Set the recan subprocess priority.
494The default is 10.
495.IP
496(Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority
497values are backwards.)
498.TP
499.B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR
500Set the server priority.
501This is applied to the server at startup time (and not when you reload
502configuration).
503The server does not use much CPU itself but this value is inherited
504by programs it executes.
505If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
506negative value.
507The default is 0.
508.TP
509.B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR
510Set the speaker process priority.
511This is applied to the speaker process at startup time (and not when
512you reload the configuration).
513The speaker process is not massively CPU intensive by today's
514standards but depends on reasonably timely scheduling.
515If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
516negative value.
517The default is 0.
518.TP
519.B noticed_history
520The maximum days that a track can survive in the database of newly added
521tracks.
522The default is 31.
523.TP
524.B player \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR [\fIOPTIONS.. [\fB\-\-\fR]] \fIARGS\fR...
525Specifies the player for files matching the glob \fIPATTERN\fR.
526\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
527.IP
528The following options are supported:
529.RS
530.TP
531.B \-\-wait\-for\-device\fR[\fB=\fIDEVICE\fR]
532Waits (for up to a couple of seconds) for the default, or specified, libao
533device to become openable.
534.TP
535.B \-\-
536Defines the end of the list of options.

543.B exec \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
544The command is executed via \fBexecvp\fR(3), not via the shell.
545The \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the executable if it is not
546an absolute path.
547The command is expected to know how to open its own sound device.
548.TP
549.B execraw \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
550Identical to the \fBexec\fR except that the player is expected to use the
551DisOrder raw player protocol.
552.BR disorder-decode (8)
553can decode several common audio file formats to this format.
554If your favourite format is not supported, but you have a player
555which uses libao, there is also a libao driver which supports this format;
556see below for more information about this.
557.TP
558.B shell \fR[\fISHELL\fR] \fICOMMAND\fR
559The command is executed using the shell.
560If \fISHELL\fR is specified then that is used, otherwise \fBsh\fR will be used.
561In either case the \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the shell
562executable if it is not an absolute path.
563The track name is stored in the environment variable
564\fBTRACK\fR.

665If
666.B sox
667is not installed then this will not work.
668.TP
669.B scratch \fIPATH\fR
670Specifies a scratch.
671When a track is scratched, a scratch track is played at random.
672Scratches are played using the same logic as other tracks.
673.IP
674At least for the time being, path names of scratches must be encoded using
675UTF-8 (which means that ASCII will do).
676.IP
677If \fBscratch\fR is used without arguments then the list of scratches is
678cleared.
679.TP
680.B stopword \fIWORD\fR ...
681Specifies one or more stopwords that should not take part in searches
682over track names.
683.IP
684If \fBstopword\fR is used without arguments then the list of stopwords is
685cleared.

688augment or replace that list.
689.TP
690.B tracklength \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR
691Specifies the module used to calculate the length of files matching
692\fIPATTERN\fR.

729If a template appears in more than one template directory
730then the one in the earliest directory specified is chosen.
731.IP
732See below for further details.

735.TP
736.B transform \fITYPE\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
737Determines how names are sorted and displayed in track choice displays.
738.IP
739\fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or
740\fBdir\fR but you can define your own.
741.IP
742\fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context.
743Standard contexts are \fBsort\fR (which determines how directory names
744are sorted) and \fBdisplay\fR (which determines how they are displayed).
745Again, you can define your own.
746.IP
747All the \fBtransform\fR directives are considered in order.
748If the \fITYPE\fR, \fIREGEXP\fR and the \fICONTEXT\fR match
749then a new track name is constructed from
750\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
751If several match then each is executed in order.
752.IP
753If you supply no \fBtransform\fR directives at all then a default set will be
754supplied automatically.
755But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
756The defaults are:
757.PP

765.TP
766.B url \fIURL\fR
767Specifies the URL of the web interface.
768This URL will be used in generated web pages.
769The default is inferred at runtime, so this option no
770longer needs to be specified.
771.IP
772This must be the full URL, e.g. \fBhttp://myhost/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR and not
773\fB/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR.
774.SS "Authentication Configuration"
775These options would normally be used in \fI~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd\fR

779.B password \fIPASSWORD\fR
780Specify password.

785.SH "GLOBAL PREFERENCES"
786These are the values set with \fBset\-global\fR.
787.TP
788.B required\-tags
789If this is set an nonempty then randomly played tracks will always have at
790least one of the listed tags.
791.TP
792.B prohibited\-tags
793If this is set an nonempty then randomly played tracks will never have any of
794the listed tags.
795.TP
796.B playing
797If unset or \fByes\fR then play is enabled.
798Otherwise it is disabled.
799Use \fBdisable\fR rather than setting it directly.
800.TP
801.B random\-play
802If unset or \fByes\fR then random play is enabled.
803Otherwise it is disabled.
804Use \fBdisable\fR rather than setting it directly.
805.PP
806Global preferences starting '_' are read-only (in the sense that you cannot
807modify them; the server may modify them as part of its normal operation).
808They are:
809.TP
810.B _dbversion
811The database version string.
812This is used by DisOrder to detect when it must
813modify the database after an upgrade.
814.SH "LIBAO DRIVER"
815.SS "Raw Protocol Players"
816Raw protocol players are expected to use the \fBdisorder\fR libao driver.
817Programs that use libao generally have command line options to select the
818driver and pass options to it.
819.SS "Driver Options"
820The known driver options are:
821.TP
822.B fd
823The file descriptor to write to.
824If this is not specified then the driver looks like the environment
825variable \fBDISORDER_RAW_FD\fR.
826If that is not set then the default is 1 (i.e. standard output).
827.TP
828.B fragile
829If this is set to a nonzero value then the driver will call \fB_exit\fR(2) if a
830write to the output file descriptor fails.
831This is a workaround for buggy players such as \fBogg123\fR that ignore
832write errors.
833.SH "WEB TEMPLATES"
834When \fBdisorder.cgi\fR wants to generate a page for action ACTION, it looks
835for ACTION.tmpl first in pkgconfdir and then in pkgdatadir. Customization can
836be achieved by copy the desired templates to pkgconfdir and editing. (Leave
837the ones in pkgdatadir alone, they will be overwritten on upgrade.)
838.PP
839The supplied templates are:
840.TP
841.B about.tmpl
842Display information about DisOrder.
843.TP
844.B choose.tmpl

848The login page.
849.TP
850.B new.tmpl
851Lists newly added tracks.
852.TP
853.B playing.tmpl
854The "front page", which usually shows the currently playing tracks and
855the queue.
856Gets an HTTP \fBRefresh\fR header.
857.IP
858If the \fBmgmt\fR CGI argument is set to \fBtrue\fR then we include extra
859buttons for moving tracks up and down in the queue.
860There is some logic in \fBdisorder.cgi\fR to ensure that \fBmgmt=true\fR
861is preserved across refreshes and redirects back into itself, but
862URLs embedded in web pages must include it explicitly.
863.TP
864.B prefs.tmpl
865Views preferences.
866If the \fBfile\fR, \fBname\fR and \fBvalue\fR arguments are
867all set then that preference is modified; if \fBfile\fR and \fBname\fR are set
868but not \fBvalue\fR then the preference is deleted.
869.TP
870.B recent.tmpl
871Lists recently played tracks.
872.PP
873See \fBdisorder_templates\fR(5) for the syntax of template files.
874.SH "WEB OPTIONS"
875This is a file called \fIoptions\fR, searched for in the same manner
876as templates.
877It includes numerous options for the control of the web interface.
878The general syntax is the same as the main configuration
879file, except that it should be encoded using UTF-8 (though this might
880change to the current locale's character encoding; stick to ASCII to
881be safe).
882.PP
883The shipped \fIoptions\fR file includes four standard options files.
884In order, they are:
885.TP
886.I options.labels
887The default labels file.
888You wouldn't normally edit this directly - instead supply your own commands
889in \fIoptions.user\fR.
890Have a look at the shipped version of the file for documentation of
891labels used by the standard templates.
892.TP
893.I options.user
894A user options file.
895Here you should put any overrides for the default labels and any
896extra labels required by your modified templates.
897.PP
898Valid directives are:
899.TP
900.B columns \fINAME\fR \fIHEADING\fR...
901Defines the columns used in \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@recent@\fB.
902\fINAME\fR must be either \fBplaying\fR, \fBrecent\fR or \fBsearch\fR.
903\fIHEADING\fR... is a list of heading names.
904If a column is defined more than once then the last definitions is used.

907are built in.
908.TP
909.B include \fIPATH\fR

912it is searched for in the template path.
913.TP
914.B label \fINAME\fR \fIVALUE\fR
915Define a label.
916If a label is defined more than once then the last definition is used.
917.SS Labels
918Some labels are defined inside \fBdisorder.cgi\fR and others by the
919default templates.
920You can define your own labels and use them inside a template.
921.PP
922When an undefined label is expanded, if it has a dot in its name then
923the part after the final dot is used as its value.
924Otherwise the whole name is used as the value.

926Labels are no longer documented here, see the shipped \fIoptions.labels\fR file
927instead.
928.SH "ACTIONS"

933Except as specified, all actions redirect back to the \fBplaying.html\fR
934template unless the \fBback\fR argument is present, in which case the URL it

983.B "prefs"
984Adjust preferences from the \fBprefs.html\fR template (which it then expands
985rather than redirecting).
986.IP
987If
988.B parts
989is set then the cooked interface is assumed.

995context is adjusted but this can be overridden with the
996.B context
997argument.
998Also the
999.B random
1000argument is checked; if it is set then random play is enabled for that track,
1001otherwise it is disabled.
1002.IP
1003Otherwise if the

1005and
1006.B value
1007arguments are set then they are used to set a single preference.

1009Otherwise if just the
1010.B name
1011argument is set then that preference is deleted.
1012.IP
1013It is recommended that links to the \fBprefs\fR action use \fB@resolve@\fR to
1014enure that the real track name is always used.
1015Otherwise if the preferences page is used to adjust a trackname_ preference,
1016the alias may change, leading to the URL going stale.
1017.TP
1018.B "error"
1019This action is generated automatically when an error occurs connecting to the
1020server.
1021The \fBerror\fR label is set to an indication of what the error is.

1023Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3).
1024The only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR.
1025Remember that the configuration file syntax means you have to
1026escape backslashes and quotes inside quoted strings.

1028In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted
1029specially:

1031.B $1 \fR... \fB$9
1032These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression.
1033.TP
1034.B $&
1035This expands to the matched part of the subject string.
1036.TP
1037.B $$
