Notifications on Entries - this option controls when email notification about the entries should be sent: on new submissions, after edit or in both cases. When entry forms require moderation it could be useful to enable this option.
Date Format – an optional format string for showing the date. If left blank, it uses 'DATE_FORMAT_LC4' from the language file. Some examples:
d-m-y will display 01-01-2015
d.m.y H:s will display 01-01-2015 00:00
See function.date.php for details. Please note that this format is used not only in the component, but also in the related NorrCompetition modules.
Uploads Folder - this is the folder where all users' uploads will be stored. The folder must exist on the server. If it does not exist the default will be used – ncuploads directory inside you root Joomla! installation (it is created on component installation). Please note that the component will automatically create the photos subfolder for photo uploads.
NorrCompetition will not delete this folder on uninstallation.
