Options

The options tab contains various configuration settings to control Weblock's behavior:

Web Directory setting controls which folder Weblock displays in the Files & Protection tab. There are two preset locations, corresponding to Mac OS X's apache installation's default shared web folders:

There is also a Custom option in this menu, which you can use to select any other folder on your hard disk or on a network share mounted in the Finder. Finally, you can use the "Reveal in Finder" button to show the contents of the selected folder in the Finder

Sorting controls whether or not the Users and Groups sections are respectively sorted alphabetically. If these are unchecked, entries are listed in the order in which they were added

Warnings are displayed when irreversible actions are taken. When these items are checked, you are presented with a warning dialog allowing you to progress with the action, or cancel it.

Advanced options should not be altered unless you know what you are doing. The "Enable Manual Editing" option shows or hides the "Manual Editor" tab in Files & Protection. "Allow Custom Web Directory Selection" allows or prevents directories other than "Sites" and "Library" from being selected in the Web Directory selector. And the "Use with remote webserver only" option removes the Webserver tab and Apache status text from Weblock for those users who are not interested in controlling apache on the machine on which Weblock is running.
