Star Cards

Some cards names begin with a star (*). These "star cards" are

referred to in Wagn's code, and/or
key to Wagn's default structure

Note that *title and title are two different cards -- the star leaves the name for other uses. Also see an alphabetical list of all star cards.

Rules

Wagn configuration works by connecting Set (groups) of cards to Setting (configuration options).

These star cards help form Set:

absolute sets: *all, *all plus, *star, *rstar
relative set classes: *self, *right, *type, *type plus right

And these represent Setting:

help text: *add help, *edit help
permissions: *create, *read, *update, *delete, *comment
formatting: *structure, *default
pointers: *input type, *content options, *content option view
other: *accountable, *autoname, *captcha, *table of contents, *layout, *send, *thanks

Note that you can go to a Set or Setting card to see all rules associated with it.

Mail / Signup

These are used for flexible email and account-related emails.

email fields: *from, *to, *cc, *bcc
content fields: *subject, *message, *attach

The following configure signup communications, including email notifications and thank-you pages:

*invite, *signup, *request

subtab list: *related See how to customize Related subtabs.
subtabs: *incoming, *outgoing, *plusses, *community, *account
