Guelph Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Guelph web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWiki.DefaultPreferences and Users.SitePreferences?, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWikiGuest in the User web).

Web Preferences Settings

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

    • Set SITEMAPLIST = on

  • Default template for new topics for this web:

    • TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default topic template

  • Comma separated list of forms that can be attached to topics in this web. See TWikiForms? for more information.
    • Set WEBFORMS =

  • Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Guelph web: (See TWikiAccessControl?). 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.

    • #Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup

Help on Preferences

  • A preference setting lets you define a simple macro? that can be expanded in your output.
  • A preference setting looks like this:
    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:
  • Macros defined using preference settings are expanded by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
    • When you write %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #B9DAFF
  • The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% setting.
  • You can introduce your own preference settings and use them in your topics and templates.
  • Preferences can be defined in a number of places:
    1. DefaultPreferences
    2. SitePreferences
    3. Parent webs WebPreferences
    4. WebPreferences
    5. In user topics
    6. In Plugin documentation topics
    7. In topics
  • Preference settings can be finalised, which means they can't be redefined
