>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
**Custom Switches Using Sermon Component**
All of these switches are done in the config area. All of them except some of these default which is added by to the simple switches. For example the global timer, remember we spoke about the check-in. Here you can set it all whether it should be every 5 hours, 12 hours, once a day, every second day, once a week or never. Checking in your items automatically. The version control buttons are added automatically as well. Which means the person can set the version control on or off. [00:09:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m07s) And also set, how many records should be set. If zero then all versions will be saved. This is the version control.

This is the version control.
**Adding Contributors**
The author areas is also added automatically. When you click in the component here, [00:09:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m40s) you will see here is a contributing area. You can set whether you want to add 'empty contributor fields'. Here(see video) you can add contributors as many as you like. Those involved with developing your component and then the amount of empty ones you want to leave there. Its also tweakable. That'll basically, let me show you, add this area here contributor 1, 2, 3, 4.[00:10:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m09s) When you use this switch it controls whether it's been shown in the back or the front of all these kind of features. Which I am not going to go into much depth now. They also are added automatically, and also the permissional structure is added automatically.

You can set whether you want to add 'empty contributor fields'. Here(see video) you can add contributors as many as you like, for instance those involved with developing your component and then the amount of empty ones you want to leave there. Its also tweakable. That will basically, add this area here (See video) contributor 1, 2, 3, 4.[00:10:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m09s) When you use this switch it controls whether it's been shown in the back or the front of all these kind of features.

**Adding UIkit**
And if you have in the component you can actually set that it includes UIKit, you can set it to yes. If you do that it[00:10:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m37s) automatically adds this(The parameters for uikit are set here) feature to your component and every where UIkit is used. So everything else, this Dropbox, preachers, preacher, categories, category, series list, and series and sermons is all done through that config area here.

**Adding Fields To Custom Config Fields**
To add fields to the config area, you first need to add that field to fields. [00:11:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m07s) You would go to fields and whatever field you want to use there, you need to create here(Fields). So you first create the fields. Then you need to remember the system name that you're using. Because then when you open up this(add) you would be able to type in the name and it will be selected. And then by convention that tab name as long as you use the same tab name it will be bundled in the order of which you set it here. [00:11:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m40s) This is where the Dropbox area all there fields are being set. The reason why we include this demo component into the application with the tutorial, is that you can go and look and see he's using [00:12:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m00s) Dropbox update method here. Then you can go look at this file. The Dropbox update method, the files, and the text, and even some of this(Update listing Now!) I mean here is a button. If I click it [00:12:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m23s) it starts an update. It even shows it here. How to do this is very tricky. It's not that simple to do that because we are not inside of our component, as you can see, were actually in the config component in the global if you have global settings. This whole feature that is build into sermon distributor is so smart I would tell you For you to be able to do that is just stunning. [00:12:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m56s) You can look at how I've done that by simply going to these fields and you would find the answer to how did he do that. And you can look at these things in this list view. All the Dropbox information is there. And then there is some global like, local folder, download link. @@

**Spacer HR Field In Component Fields**
Then there is spacer hr. [00:13:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m24s) You can see that I have that spacer hr quite often. It's a field that it will be included in the paid version of of component builder. It already has that spacer hr in it. And since spacers, you can use the same spacer over and over. The system automatically increment it, it doesn't have conflict in name conventions. I'm just using the same spacer every where. Putting spacers which is this little line [00:14:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h14m01s) you see that line there. It's very small but it gives a space between these areas. That is why I'm doing that. Then also he can put default values which will be used during installation of the component. If you have switches in your config that you want to populate with default values, you should just add those values here. [00:14:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WkTjNFjvo&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h14m27s) Then during the install, those values will be added to the database and component builder puts all that in place for you. This(see video) is where you add the config fields.
