Allows surfers to configure the directory look according to preset variables that you define. And, not just phpLD components. For example, if you have embedded a weather box / stock ticker / etc. component in the phpLD template, you can allow surfers the option to display it or not. Settings can be either saved as cookie, or saved to database. If you configure the mod to save to database, then surfer must login first (or register if they are unregistered) to use this service – requires a user registration backend, and is only for phpLD v3.04+. If you use version of phpLD less than v3.04, then settings can only be saved as cookie. Useful in surfer retention by encouraging surfers to return to your site.
