<h3>Maintenance</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Optimize database room</dt>
<dd>After numerous delete or update operations on Dotclear's database, it gets fragmented.
Optimizing will allow to defragment it.<br />
It has no incidence on your data's integrity.<br />
It is recommended to optimize before any blog export.</dd>
<dt>Counters</dt>
<dd>Initializing comments and trackbacks counters allows to check their exact numbers.
This operation can be useful when importing from another blog platform
(or when migrating from dotclear 1 to dotclear 2).</dd>
<dt>Search engine index</dt>
<dd>These operations are necessary, after importing content in your blog, to use internal search engine, on public and private pages.
<ul>
<li><strong>Index all posts:</strong> allows to index all posts</li>
<li><strong>Index all comments:</strong> allows to index all comments and trackbacks</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>Vacuum logs</dt>
<dd>Logs record all activity and connection to your blog history. Unless you need to keep this history,
consider deleting these logs from time to time.</dd>
<dt>Empty templates cache directory</dt>
<dd>It may be useful to empty this cache when modifying a theme's .html or .css files (or when updating
a theme or plugin).<br />
Notice : with some hosters, the templates cache cannot be emptied with this extension.
You may then have to delete the directory <strong>/cbtpl/</strong> directly on the server with your FTP software.</dd>
