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 topics of a web: (the second line of a topic, is overwritten by web preferences)

)

- Font color of non existing topic: ( default
#0000FF
)
- Set NEWTOPICFONTCOLOR = #0000FF

- http-equiv meta tags for view, rdiff, attach, search* scripts:
- 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">
- http-equiv meta tags for preview script:
- Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_PREVIEW =
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).
