Difference: TWikiPreferences (1 vs. 81)

Revision 812012-07-02 - MaxsSimmonds

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

This topic defines site-level settings that apply to all users and webs on this TWikiSite.

Note: This topic should be regarded as read-only, so that upgrades can safely overwrite it without risk to your customizations.

Preference settings local to your site should be set in Main.TWikiPreferences (this topic is pointed to by {LocalSitePreferences}, which is set by the admin in the configure interface). Settings in Main.TWikiPreferences will override settings in this topic, and should be used for defining custom settings and variables.

Read more on how to set Preferences Variables.

Default Web Preferences

NOTE: These are just defaults; don't change them here. Instead, add them to the WebPreferences topic in each web

List of selected topics in a web (used in menus)
- Set WEBTOPICLIST = Changes | Index | Search | Go

Web-specific background color: (is overwritten by web preferences)
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFD8AA

favicon: Attach a favicon.ico to a web's WebPreferences or add a FAVICON setting to WebPreferences
- Set FAVICON = /pub/TWiki/WebPreferences/favicon.ico

Image, URL and alternate tooltip text of web's logo.
- Set WEBLOGOIMG =
- Set WEBLOGOURL = http://almaobservatory.org/

If you use non WikiWords for topic names (for example "Expenses" or "Mighty1") and if you use bracket notation to link to those topics, it is useful to turn of all warnings (like: "WARNING: This topic name is not recommended because it will not be linked automatically") and checkboxes ("Allow non WikiWord for the new topic name"). Can be overwritten by web preferences. Set to on to activate:
- Set HIDE_NON_WIKI_WORD_WARNINGS =

Warn if %INCLUDE{}% of topic fails: Fail silently if empty or off. Output warning message (defined in templates/oopsalerts.tmpl) if set to on. Otherwise output specific text (use $topic for topic). You can override this in web preferences, or by using a warn="..." parameter with %INCLUDE{}% :

Miscellaneous Settings

Format of a NewWikiWord? link:
Note that $text is the topic link text, $topic is the name of the new topic, and $web is the name of the web for the new topic. Values for the 3 are taken from the link syntax [[$web.$topic][$text]]. For normal plain WikiWord links $text and $topic are the same. The value of $web is the current web unless the link is in the format $web.$topic.
- default setting:
  - Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text?
- alternative setting:
  - #Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text

PreviewBackground image:
- Set PREVIEWBGIMAGE = /pub/TWiki/PreviewBackground/preview2bg.gif

User-friendly synonyms for system webs
- Set DOCWEB = TWiki

show extra help for ApacheLogin users for TWikiAdminUser login
- Set ADMINLOGIN = internal admin login (use the username suggested and the password set in configure).

Access Control Settings

No-one (except admins) should change this topic
- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup
- Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
In order to protect your custom variables from being overwritten when upgrading the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in Main.TWikiPreferences.

Protected System Settings

The following settings are declared final to protect them as read only. These are system variables that should never be attempted set or altered in any preference topic or topic settings.

Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEB, TOPIC

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

This topic defines site-level settings that apply to all users and webs on this TWikiSite.

Note: This topic should be regarded as read-only, so that upgrades can safely overwrite it without risk to your customizations.

Miscellaneous Settings

Format of a NewWikiWord? link:
Note that $text is the topic link text, $topic is the name of the new topic, and $web is the name of the web for the new topic. Values for the 3 are taken from the link syntax [[$web.$topic][$text]]. For normal plain WikiWord links $text and $topic are the same. The value of $web is the current web unless the link is in the format $web.$topic.
- default setting:
  - Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text?
- alternative setting:
  - #Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text

PreviewBackground image:
- Set PREVIEWBGIMAGE = /pub/TWiki/PreviewBackground/preview2bg.gif

User-friendly synonyms for system webs
- Set DOCWEB = TWiki

show extra help for ApacheLogin users for TWikiAdminUser login
- Set ADMINLOGIN = internal admin login (use the username suggested and the password set in configure).

Access Control Settings

No-one (except admins) should change this topic
- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup
- Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
In order to protect your custom variables from being overwritten when upgrading the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in Main.TWikiPreferences.

Protected System Settings

The following settings are declared final to protect them as read only. These are system variables that should never be attempted set or altered in any preference topic or topic settings.

Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEB, TOPIC

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

This topic defines site-level settings that apply to all users and webs on this TWikiSite.

Note: This topic should be regarded as read-only, so that upgrades can safely overwrite it without risk to your customizations.

Read more on how to set Preferences Variables.

If you use non WikiWords for topic names (for example "Expenses" or "Mighty1") and if you use bracket notation to link to those topics, it is useful to turn of all warnings (like: "WARNING: This topic name is not recommended because it will not be linked automatically") and checkboxes ("Allow non WikiWord for the new topic name"). Can be overwritten by web preferences. Set to on to activate:
- Set HIDE_NON_WIKI_WORD_WARNINGS =

Warn if %INCLUDE{}% of topic fails: Fail silently if empty or off. Output warning message (defined in templates/oopsalerts.tmpl) if set to on. Otherwise output specific text (use $topic for topic). You can override this in web preferences, or by using a warn="..." parameter with %INCLUDE{}% :

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
In order to protect your custom variables from being overwritten when upgrading the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in Main.TWikiPreferences.

Default User Settings

NOTE: They are typically redefined in topics of individual TWikiUsers

Show tool-tip topic info on mouse-over of WikiWord links. Setting can be on, off, or customized. An empty setting or off setting disables the tool-tips (for better performance). The setting can contain $summary to show the topic summary, $date for the last change date, $rev for the revision, $username for the login name of the last editor, $wikiname for the WikiName, $wikiusername for Main.WikiName, $topic for the topic name, and $web for the web name

Some skins have two editors available; the default editor, and a second editor which is usually a WYSIWYG editor (the second editor is used by hitting the WYSIWYG link in pattern or classic skins). If COMPOSER is not set, the second editor will work the same as the default editor. If the WysiwygPlugin is installed and it is set to 'kupu' (the default), then the Kupu WYSIWYG editor will be enabled. You can change the setting to use any editor that is enabled by setting the cover parameter on the edit URL.

Users or groups allowed to change or rename this TWikiPreferences topic:

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
In order to protect your custom variables from being overwritten when upgrading the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in Main.TWikiPreferences.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

The following are site-level settings that affect all users in all webs on this TWikiSite. They can be selectively overwritten on the individual web level (see WebPreferences in each web), topic level (the topic being rendered), and on the user level (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: TWikiGuest).

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

Default Web Preferences

NOTE: They are typically redefined in individual WebPreferences topics

- Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

You can optionally list the installed plugins in INSTALLEDPLUGINS. This is useful to define the sequence of plugin execution, or to specify other webs then the TWiki web for the plugin topics. Specify plugins as a comma separated list of topics.
- Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = DefaultPlugin? , SpreadSheetPlugin
- Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = EmptyPlugin
- Currently activated plugins: SpreadSheetPlugin, BackupRestorePlugin? , ColorPickerPlugin? , CommentPlugin, DatePickerPlugin? , EditTablePlugin, HeadlinesPlugin? , InterwikiPlugin, JQueryPlugin? , PreferencesPlugin, SetGetPlugin? , SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TWikiSheetPlugin? , TablePlugin, TagMePlugin? , TinyMCEPlugin, TwistyPlugin, WatchlistPlugin? , WysiwygPlugin
- NOTE: You can enable/disable all plugins with the $disableAllPlugins flag in the lib/TWiki.cfg file.

- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
- Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

Users or groups allowed to create new webs: (ex: TWikiAdminGroup)
- Set ALLOWWEBMANAGE = TWikiAdminGroup

Preferences Control Settings

Allow topic level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will be read, and will override any web- or site-level preferences not set as FINALPREFERENCES. By default, user preferences will override topic preferences.
- Set READTOPICPREFS = on

Topic level overrides user level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will override user preferences. The user can in turn override this behavior by setting further FINALPREFERENCES in his or her user topic.
- Set TOPICOVERRIDESUSER = off

Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER, BASICSTYLETOPIC

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

Access Control Settings

Users or groups allowed to change or rename this TWikiPreferences topic: (ex: TWikiAdminGroup)
- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
- Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

Users or groups allowed to create new webs: (ex: TWikiAdminGroup)
- Set ALLOWWEBMANAGE = TWikiAdminGroup

Preferences Control Settings

Allow topic level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will be read, and will override any web- or site-level preferences not set as FINALPREFERENCES. By default, user preferences will override topic preferences.
- Set READTOPICPREFS = on

Topic level overrides user level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will override user preferences. The user can in turn override this behavior by setting further FINALPREFERENCES in his or her user topic.
- Set TOPICOVERRIDESUSER = off

Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

Specify plugins as a comma separated list of topics.
- Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = DefaultPlugin? , SpreadSheetPlugin
- Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = EmptyPlugin
- Currently activated plugins: SpreadSheetPlugin, BackupRestorePlugin? , ColorPickerPlugin? , CommentPlugin, DatePickerPlugin? , EditTablePlugin, HeadlinesPlugin? , InterwikiPlugin, JQueryPlugin? , PreferencesPlugin, SetGetPlugin? , SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TWikiSheetPlugin? , TablePlugin, TagMePlugin? , TinyMCEPlugin, TwistyPlugin, WatchlistPlugin? , WysiwygPlugin
- NOTE: You can enable/disable all plugins with the $disableAllPlugins flag in the lib/TWiki.cfg file.

Access Control Settings

Users or groups allowed to change or rename this TWikiPreferences topic: (ex: TWikiAdminGroup)
- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
- Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

Users or groups allowed to create new webs: (ex: TWikiAdminGroup)
- Set ALLOWWEBMANAGE = TWikiAdminGroup

Preferences Control Settings

Allow topic level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will be read, and will override any web- or site-level preferences not set as FINALPREFERENCES. By default, user preferences will override topic preferences.
- Set READTOPICPREFS = on

Topic level overrides user level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will override user preferences. The user can in turn override this behavior by setting further FINALPREFERENCES in his or her user topic.
- Set TOPICOVERRIDESUSER = off

Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

Default Web Preferences

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

The following are site-level settings that affect all users in all webs on this TWikiSite. They can be selectively overwritten on the individual web level (see WebPreferences in each web), and on the user level (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: TWikiGuest).

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

Default Web Preferences

Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE

Creating New Preference Variables

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
- When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

TWiki Site-Level Preferences

The following are site-level settings that affect all users in all webs on this TWikiSite. They can be selectively overwritten on the individual web level (see WebPreferences in each web), and on the user level (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: TWikiGuest).

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.
