- Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = WIKIWEBMASTER, PREVIEWBGIMAGE
Notes:
- A preference is defined as:
6 spaces * Set NAME = value
Example:
- 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, i.e. set
WEBCOPYRIGHT
before WIKIWEBMASTER
since %WEBCOPYRIGHT%
uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER%
variable.
- You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
