Setting – Up

Introduction
This section describes the configuration of different ProcessMaker options, mainly related to plug-ins, mail configuration and to internationalization.
Languages
This module allows managing different languages in ProcessMaker. To add a new language into ProcessMaker click on “Import or Update” link and a file selector window appears, where you can select the file that has the translation of the new language.
ProcessMaker uses portable object files (.po) for translations into different languages. Various tools exist to help working with .po files. A good cross-platform editor for .po files is the editor Poedit (to download at http://www.poedit.net/). Please visit our ProcessMaker Wiki at http://wiki.processmaker.com/index.php/Translations to check existent translations.
Plug-ins
The main aim for plug-ins is to add new features to the ProcessMaker. Actually there are few plug-ins, but this number should be increasing in the near future. This illustration shows the existing plug-ins. From this panel it is possible to import new plug-ins, to enable or to set-up them. The description on the panel gives a brief description about the existing plug-ins.
Notifications via email (link a la parte de notificaciones de procesos) add more flexibility to a BPM. The option Email in the Setup Up menu defines the email engine and the parameters required to enable this feature. ProcessMaker supports three email engines:
- Mail PHP - http://www.php.net/mail/
- PHP Mailer - http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/
- OpenMail - http://www.openmail.cc/
Once you have filled in the parameters according to the email engine you are able to test the email configuration by clicking on the Test button and filling out the information required
When a test email is sent to info@colosa.com (for example), it could be that this email goes to the spambox. If you experience problems with the email notifications, you should review the engine mail parameters and execute this test again. The test mail option can be performed at any time and it is helpful in order to identify possible problems.
