Elentra ME settings, are application settings stored in the elentra_me.settings table. These settings can be used enable/disable modules and features, as well as customize the Elentra experience. There are many settings that have been created over the years, while new ones get added with every release.
To create a new setting, you must create a migration that will run the query to insert your new settings. to learn more about creating migrations for a new Elentra setting.
Please follow these rules when creating new settings. Additionally, settings should always reflect the positive state of an action. Use "enabled" not "disabled", "show" not "hide" and so on, and set the default values accordingly.
