# Configuration

Navigate to **Components → MokoJoomCross** to access the admin panel.

## Global Settings

Go to **Options** (toolbar gear icon) to configure:

| Setting | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Auto-post on Publish | Yes | Automatically cross-post when articles are published |
| Max Retries | 3 | How many times to retry a failed post |
| Retry Delay | 300s | Seconds between retry attempts |
| Log Retention | 90 days | How long to keep activity logs |
| Default Template | `{title}\n\n{introtext}\n\n{url}` | Fallback message template |

## Message Templates

Templates use placeholders that are replaced with article data:

| Placeholder | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `{title}` | Article title |
| `{url}` | Full article URL |
| `{introtext}` | Article intro text (stripped of HTML, max 280 chars) |
| `{image}` | Article intro image URL |
| `{category}` | Article category name |
| `{author}` | Article author name |

You can create per-platform templates. The system checks for a platform-specific template first, then falls back to the default.

## Service Modes

Services that support universal bots offer two modes:

- **Default Mode** — Uses the pre-configured MokoWaaS bot/app. API keys are stored in the component's encrypted global params and never exposed in the individual service record.
- **Custom Mode** — You provide your own API keys, tokens, and credentials.

Services supporting default mode: **Telegram** (@MokoWaaSBot), **Facebook**, **Discord**, **Slack**
