TWiki Site-Level Preferences
The following settings are
site-level preferences , e.g. affecting all users in all TWiki webs. These preferences can be overwritten by
web preferences (topic
WebPreferences in each TWiki web) and
user preferences (your personal topic, i.e.
TWikiGuest in the TWiki.Main web)
Preferences:
- List of TWiki webs: (the first line of a topic; to add a web see TWikiDocumentation and TWikiWebsTable)
- Set WIKIWEBLIST = Main | TWiki | Know? | Test?
- Note: To automatically list all non-hidden webs in alphabetical order you can use this variable instead: Set WIKIWEBLIST = Main <span class=Sandbox <span class=TWiki
- List of topics of a web: (the second line of a topic, is overwritten by web preferences)
- Copyright notice:
- Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = Copyright © 2000 by the contributing authors. \nAll material on this collaboration tool is the property of the contributing authors.

- Wiki webmaster email address:
- Mail host for outgoing mail. This is used for WebChangesAlert if Perl module
Net::SMTP
is installed. If not, sendmail is used instead (defined by $mailProgram
in TWiki.cfg
). Examples: mail.your.company
or localhost
- TWikiPlugins configuration: All plugin modules that exist in the
lib/TWiki/Plugins
directory are activated automatically unless disabled by DISABLEDPLUGINS. You can optionally list the installed plugins in INSTALLEDPLUGINS. This is useful to define the sequence of plugin execution, or to specify other webs then the TWiki web for the plugin topics. Specify plugins as a comma separated list of topics.
- http-equiv meta tags for view, rdiff, attach, search* scripts:
* Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW =
- http-equiv meta tags for edit script. Example to expire immediately:
Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT = <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="%GMTIME{"$day $month, $year - $hour:$min:$sec"}% GMT">
* Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT =
- http-equiv meta tags for preview script:
* Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_PREVIEW =

- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
- Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME =
- Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKIWEBMASTER, MAILHOST
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).
