Plugin Configuration¶
Target group: Editors, Developers
Most configuration settings can be set through the flexform settings. As not every configuration is needed for every view, the not needed are hidden. Every setting can also be set by using TypoScript.

The settings of the plugin always override the ones from TypoScript.
