Difference: WebPreferences (8 vs. 9)

Preferences:

• List of topics of the TWiki.IVOA 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 DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =

• 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:

• 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 #99ccff .
• 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).
