TWiki.Main Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the TWiki.Main web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWikiGuest in the TWiki.Main web)

Preferences:

List of topics of the TWiki.Main web:
- Set WEBTOPICLIST = Home | Users | Groups | Offices | Changes | Index | Search | Go

Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors)
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0

Exclude web from a web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs)
- Set NOSEARCHALL =

Users or groups who are not / are allowed to change/rename topics in the Main web: (See TWikiAccessControl)
- Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
- Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
- Set DENYWEBRENAME =
- #Set ALLOWEBRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

Users or groups allowed to change this WebPreferences topic: (I.e. TWikiAdminGroup)
- Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =

Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE

Notes:

A preference is defined as:
6 spaces * Set NAME = value
Example:
- 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 #FFEFA6 .
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 preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
