TWikiPreferences (r1.7)

The following settings are site-level preferences , e.g. affecting all users in all netfrag.org webs. These preferences can be overwritten by web preferences (topic WebPreferences in each netfrag.org web) and user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWikiGuest^? in the netfrag.org.Main web)

Preferences:

• List of netfrag.org webs: (the first line of a topic; to add a web see TWikiDocumentation and TWikiWebsTable)
  • Set WIKIWEBLIST = netfrag.org . { Main | TWiki | Know | Test }

• List of topics of a web: (the second line of a topic, is overwritten by web preferences)
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = TWiki . { Home | Changes | Index | Search | Go }

• 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:
  • 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 #000000 .
• 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 netfrag.org engine (Perl scripts).
