Main Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Main web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWiki.TWiki Preferences and Main.TWiki Preferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWiki Guest in the Main web).

Web Preferences Settings

These settings override the defaults for this web only. See full list of defaults with explanation.

  • TWiki.Web Topic Edit Template: Site-level default topic template

• Comma separated list of forms that can be attached to topics in this web. See TWiki Forms for more information.
  • Set WEBFORMS = User Form

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Main web: (See TWiki Access Control). Remove the # to enable any of these settings. Remember that an empty setting is a valid setting; setting DENYWEBVIEW to nothing means that anyone can view the web.

Help on Preferences

• A preference setting is defined by:
  3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customisation. Example:
  
  • #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = Unknown User
• Preferences are used as TWiki Variables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #B0B2FF
• 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 your own preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates.
