). This is normally only needed under Windows and only where perl scripts are only recognized by file extension. Linux and Unix users should normally never need to do this. If necessary, rename all files in twiki/bin
(i.e. rename view
to view.pl
etc). If you do this, make sure you set the ScriptSuffix
option in configure
(Step 6).

twiki.conf
). Performance is much better with a config file, and one file gives the best overview and ensures that you get a safe installation . However using a config file requires that you can restart Apache which again means that you need root or sudo access to stop and start Apache. The TWiki apache config file is included from the main Apache config file http.conf. Most distributions have a directory from which any file that ends with .conf
gets included when you restart Apache (Example RedHat/Fedora/Centos: /etc/httpd/conf.d). If you use a virtual host setup in Apache you should include the twiki.conf file from inside the desired virtual host config in your Apache configuration.

directory you find example .htaccess
files you can copy and modify. The files contains help text explaining how to set them up. In twiki/bin
you find .htaccess.txt
which can be copied to .htaccess
and defined access to the CGI scripts. In the root of TWiki you find pub-htaccess.txt
which you can copy to pub/.htaccess
, subdir-htaccess.txt
which you can copy to all directories as .htaccess
except bin and pub, and you find root-htaccess.txt
which you can copy to .htaccess
in the twiki root directory. But again only use .htaccess files if you do not have root priviledges.
configure
script open to the public. Limit access to the twiki/bin/configure
script to either localhost, an IP address or a specific user using basic Apache authentication. The TWiki:TWiki.ApacheConfigGenerator lets you setup who has access to the configure script. Also the example twiki-httpd-conf.txt and bin/.htaccess.txt files includes the needed setting to protect the configure script.
twiki/data/.htpasswd
but this file does not exist until you have TWiki running and have registered the first user. You therefore have two options. Either limit the access to localhost or an IP address, or make a .htpasswd file. To make a .htpasswd file change directory to twiki/data
and issue the command htpasswd -c .htpasswd username
and enter your password when asked. The username must match the Require user username
directive in the Apache config file or .htaccess file. Do not use a username you will later use to register in TWiki because TWiki will then claim that you are already registered.

LoginManager
option TWiki::LoginManager::ApacheLogin
uses a basic Apache type authentication where the browser itself prompts you for username and password. Most will find the TemplateLogin looking nicer. But ApacheLogin is required when you use Apache authentication methods like mod_ldap where all authentication is handled by an Apache module and not by the TWiki perl code. When you use ApacheLogin the apache configuration must be set up to require authentication of the some but not all the scripts in the bin directory. This section in the Apache config (or .htaccess) controls this

%TMPL:DEF{"block"}%
and %TMPL:END%
was stripped of leading and trailing white space incl new lines.
This caused a lot of problems for skin developers when you wanted a newline before or after the block text.
From TWiki 4.1.0 this has changed so that white space is no longer stripped. Skins like PatternSkin and NatSkin have been updated so that they work with the new behavior. But if you use an older skin or have written your own you will most likely need to make some adjustments.
It is not difficult. The general rule is - if you get mysterious blank lines in your skin, the newline after the %TMPL:DEF{"block"}%
needs to be removed. Ie. the content of the block must follow on the same line as the TMPL:DEF.
The spec change have the same impact on CommentPlugin templates where you may have to remove the first line break after the TMPL:DEF. See the CommentPluginTemplate for examples of how comment template definitions should look like in TWiki-4.1.X
An example: A CommentPlugin template that adds a comment as appending a row to a table. Before the spec change this would work.
<verbatim> %TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:tabletest}%%POS:BEFORE% |%URLPARAM{"comment"}%| -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE% | %TMPL:END% </verbatim>From Twiki 4.1.0 the old template definition will add an empty line before the new table row. To fix it simply remove the new line before the table.
<verbatim> %TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:tabletest}%%POS:BEFORE%|%URLPARAM{"comment"}%| -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE% | %TMPL:END% </verbatim>The advantage of the spec change is that now you can add leading and trailing white space including new lines. This was not possible before.
{PassthroughDir}
and {Sessions}{Dir}
were by default set to /tmp
. These config settings have been replaced by {TempfileDir}
with the default setting value /tmp/twiki
. If the twiki
directory does not exist twiki will create it first time it needs it.
It is highly recommended no longer to use the tmp directory common to other web applications and the new default will work fine for most. You may want to delete all the old session files in /tmp after the upgrade to 4.1.1. They all start with cgisess_. It is additionally highly recommended to limit write access to the {TempfileDir}
for security reasons if you have non-admin users with login access to the webserver just like you would do with the other webserver directories.
NewUserTemplate
and UserForm
.
The NewUserTemplate
was located in the TWiki web and the UserForm
in the Main web. When upgrading TWiki these were some of the topics you had to take care not to overwrite.
From 4.2.0 the UserForm
and NewUserTemplate
are distributed in the TWiki web. If you create the two in the Main web the Main web version will be used instead. So if you tailor the user topic format or the form then you should always copy the two files to the Main web and modify the ones in the Main web. When you later upgrade TWiki your tailored template and form will not be overwritten.
Main.TWikiUsers
topic contains all the registered users. It is a topic you do not want to overwrite when you upgrade TWiki.
From 4.2.0 this file is no longer included in the TWiki distribution. When you register the first time TWiki creates the Main.TWikiUsers
topic in the Main web if it does not exist already. This means that you can now upgrade TWiki without risk of overwriting the important TWikiUsers
topic.
working
directory working
which per default is located in the twiki root, has been introduced which contains:
{WorkingDir}
defines the container directory for temporary files, extensions' work areas, and intermediate registration data. The default is working
under your installation root.
Take care for that change if you run your own routine to delete obsolete session files, which will now be found under working/tmp/cgisess*

.htpasswd
files on the server. These files can be unique to TWiki, or can be shared with other applications (such as an Apache webserver). A variety of password encodings are supported for flexibility when re-using existing files. See the descriptive comments in the Security Settings section of the configure interface for more details.
You can easily plug in alternate password management modules to support interfaces to other third-party authentication databases.

pub
area, unless they are only accessed through the viewfile
script. If your pub
directory is set up in the webserver to allow open access you may want to add .htaccess
files in there to restrict access.
You can create a custom version of the TWikiRegistration form by copying the topic, and then deleting or adding input tags in your copy. The name=""
parameter of the input tags must start with: "Twk0..."
(if this is an optional entry), or "Twk1..."
(if this is a required entry). This ensures that the fields are carried over into the user profile page correctly. Do not modify the version of TWikiRegistration shipped with TWiki, as your changes will be overwritten next time you upgrade.
The default new user template page is in TWiki.NewUserTemplate. The same variables get expanded as in the template topics. You can create a custom new user profile page by creating the Main.NewUserTemplate topic, which will then override the default.
REMOTE_USER
environment variable, which is set when you enable authentication in the webserver.
The advantage of this scheme is that if you have an existing website authentication scheme using Apache modules such as mod_auth_ldap
or mod_auth_mysql
you can just plug in directly to them.
The disadvantage is that because the user identity is cached in the browser, you can log in, but you can't log out again unless you restart the browser.
TWiki maps the REMOTE_USER
that was used to log in to the webserver to a WikiName using the table in TWikiUsers. This table is updated whenever a user registers, so users can choose not to register (in which case their webserver login name is used for their signature) or register (in which case that login name is mapped to their WikiName).
The same private .htpasswd
file used in TWiki Template Login can be used to authenticate Apache users, using the Apache Basic Authentication support.
Warning: Do not use the Apache htpasswd
program with .htpasswd

wipes out email addresses that TWiki plants in the info fields of this file.

web. To create a new group, visit TWikiGroups and enter the name of the new group ending in Group
into the "new group" form field. This will create a new group topic with two important settings: Set GROUP = < list of Users and/or Groups >
Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = < list of Users and/or Groups >
Set GROUP = SomeUser, OtherUser, SomeGroup
Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = MarketingGroup
TWikiAdminGroup
. The system administrator may have chosen a different name for this group if your local TWiki uses an alternate group mapping manager but for simplicity we will use the default name TWikiAdminGroup in the rest of this topic.
You can create new administrators simply by adding them to the TWikiAdminGroup topic. For example, Set GROUP = RobertCailliau, TimBernersLee

Creation and renaming of sub-webs is controlled by the WEBCHANGE setting on the parent web (or ROOTCHANGE for root webs). Renaming is additionally restricted by the setting of WEBRENAME in the web itself.
Note: If you restrict access to the Main, make sure to add the TWikiRegistrationAgent

WikiWord Links: CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically if preceded by whitespace or parenthesis. If you want to link to a topic in a different web write Otherweb.TopicName . To link to a topic in a subweb write Otherweb.Subweb.TopicName .The link label excludes the name of the web, e.g. only the topic name is shown. As an exception, the name of the web is shown for the WebHome topic. Dots '.' are used to separate webs and subwebs from topic names and therefore cannot be used in topic names.
It's generally a good idea to use the TWikiVariables %SYSTEMWEB% and %USERSWEB% instead of TWiki and Main.

Anchors: You can define a reference inside a TWiki topic (called an anchor name) and link to that. To define an anchor write #AnchorName at the beginning of a line. The anchor name must be a WikiWord of no more than 32 characters. To link to an anchor name use the [[MyTopic#MyAnchor]] syntax. You can omit the topic name if you want to link within the same topic.

Forced Links: Use double square brackets to create forced links: Write [[link]] or [[link][label]] to force a link. Use the former for singleton words and if automatic linking is disabled. Use the latter one to specify a link label other than the link. For the link, you can use internal link references (e.g. WikiWords) and URLs (e.g. http://TWiki.org/).
Anchor names can be added to create a link to a specific place in a document. To "escape" double square brackets that would otherwise make a link, prefix the leading left square bracket with an exclamation point. |

Mailto Links: E-mail addresses are linked automatically. To create e-mail links that have more descriptive link text, specify subject lines or message bodies, or omit the e-mail address, you can write [[mailto:user@domain][descriptive text]] .

Verbatim Text: Surround code excerpts and other formatted text with <verbatim> and </verbatim> tags.verbatim tags disable HTML code. Use <pre> and </pre> tags instead if you want the HTML code within the tags to be interpreted.NOTE: Preferences variables (* Set NAME = value) are set within verbatim tags. |
<verbatim> class CatAnimal { void purr() { <code here> } } </verbatim> |
class CatAnimal { void purr() { <code here> } } |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Literal Text: TWiki generates HTML code from TWiki shorthand. Experts surround anything that must be output literally in the HTML code, without the application of TWiki shorthand rules, with <literal>..</literal> tags. any HTML
within literal tags must be well formed i.e. all tags must be properly closed before
the end of the literal block. TWiki Variables are expanded within literal blocks.
|
<literal> | Not | A | Table | <literal> |

Protected Text: Experts protect text from mangling by WYSIWYG editors using <sticky>..</sticky> tags. Sticky tags don't have any effect on normal
topic display; they are only relevant when content has to be
protected from a WYSIWYG editor (usually because it isn't well-formed HTML, or because it
is HTML that WYSIWYG would normally filter out or modify). Protected
content appears as plain text in the WYSIWYG editor.

%TOPIC%
is expanded to TWikiVariablesQuickStart. Some variables can take arguments in curly braces - for example, %INCLUDE{"OtherTopic" ARG="arg"}%
.
Many TWiki variables are built-in, and others are predefined for your convenience. TWikiVariables describes how you can also define your own TWiki Variables at the entire site, individual web, or individual topic level. Variables are fully expanded before any of the TWiki text formatting rules are applied.
Commonly used variables:
%TOC%
: Automatically generates a table of contents based on headings in a topic - see the top of this page for an example.
%WEB%
: The current web, is TWiki.
%TOPIC%
: The current topic name, is TWikiVariablesQuickStart.
%ATTACHURL%
: The attachment URL of the current topic. Example usage: If you attach a file to a topic you can refer to it as %ATTACHURL%/image.gif
to show the URL of the file or the image in your text.
%INCLUDE{"SomeTopic"}%
: Server side include, includes another topic. The current web is the default web. Example: %INCLUDE{"TWiki.SiteMap"}%
%SEARCH{"sushi"}%
: Inline search showing the search result embedded in a topic. FormattedSearch gives you control over formatting, used to create web-based applications.
%ICON{"help"}%
, %ICON{"tip"}%
, and %ICON{"warning"}%

!%SOMEVARIABLE%

%PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS%

and '>'
characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write '<'
instead of '<'
, and '>'
instead of '>'
. 'prog <filename>'
to get 'prog <filename>'
.
'&'
character sometimes not displayed? '&'
character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, i.e. '©'
is the ©
copyright character. You need to escape '&'
to see it as it is, so write '&'
instead of '&'
. 'This & that'
to get 'This & that'
.
%VARIABLE%
or %VARIABLE{ parameter="value" }%
- that expand into content whenever a topic is rendered for viewing. There are two types of variables:

%T%
to get (a preferences variable)
%TOPIC%
to get TWikiVariables
(a predefined variable)
%CALC{ "$UPPER(Text)" }%

%MYVAR%
, %MyVar%
, %My2ndVar%

and %MYVAR%
are not the same variable.
By convention all settings, predefined variables and variables used by plugins are always UPPER-CASE.
preview
will show the wrong thing, and you must save
the topic to see it correctly.
The syntax for setting variables is the same anywhere in TWiki (on its own TWiki bullet line, including nested bullets): [multiple of 3 spaces] * [space] Set [space] VARIABLENAME [space] = [space] value
Examples:
* Set VARIABLENAME1 = value * Set VARIABLENAME2 = valueSpaces between the = sign and the value will be ignored. You can split a value over several lines by indenting following lines with spaces - as long as you don't try to use * as the first character on the following line. Example:
* Set VARIABLENAME = value starts here and continues hereWhatever you include in your variable will be expanded on display, exactly as if it had been entered directly. Example: Create a custom logo variable
%MYLOGO%
, define the Variable on the web's WebPreferences topic, and upload a logo file, ex: mylogo.gif
. You can upload by attaching the file to WebPreferences, or, to avoid clutter, to any other topic in the same web, e.g. LogoTopic
. Sample variable setting in WebPreferences:
* Set MYLOGO = %PUBURL%/%WEB%/LogoTopic/mylogo.gifYou can also set preferences variables on a topic by clicking the link
Edit topic preference settings
under More topic actions
. Use the same * Set VARIABLENAME = value
syntax. Preferences set in this manner are not visible in the topic text, but take effect nevertheless.
* Set EXAMPLE = Example variable using %DEFAULT%, %PARAM1% and %PARAM2% * Set DEMO = Demo using %DEFAULT{ default="(undefined)" }%, %PARAM1{ default="(undefined)" }% and %PARAM2{ default="(undefined)" }%A special
%DEFAULT%
variable denotes the default (nameless) parameter of the calling variable. Variables optionally may list a default="..."
parameter that gets used in case the calling variable does not specify that parameter.
To use a parameterized variable (or call a macro), add parameters within the curly brackets, such as:
* %EXAMPLE{ "foo" PARAM1="bar" PARAM2="baz" }% * %DEMO{ "demo" PARAM2="parameter 2" }% -- note that PARAM1 is missingwhich resolves to:
%PARAM1%
gets expanded to bar
.
* Set DRINK = red wine * Set FAVORITE = My %DEFAULT{default="favorite"}% dish is %DISH{default="steak"}%, my %DEFAULT{default="favorite"}% drink is %DRINK%.The default can be defined with a default parameter (
%DISH{default="steak"}%
), or as a preferences setting (Set DRINK = ...
).
Use Variables:
%FAVORITE{ DISH="Sushi" DRINK="Sake" }%Returns:
%FAVORITE{}%Returns:
%FAVORITE{ "preferred" }%Returns:
Local
in place of Set
in the variable definition. For example, if the user sets the following in their home topic:
* Set EDITBOXHEIGHT = 10 * Local EDITBOXHEIGHT = 20Then when they are editing any other topic, they will get a 10 high edit box. However when they are editing their home topic, they will get a 20 high edit box.
Local
can be used wherever a preference needs to take a different value depending on where the current operation is being performed.
Use this powerful feature with great care! %ALLVARIABLES%

search="text" | (Alternative to above) | N/A |
web="Name" web="Main, Know" web="all" | Comma-separated list of webs to search. You can specifically exclude webs from an all search using a minus sign - for example, web="all,-Secretweb" . The special word all means all webs that do not have the NOSEARCHALL variable set to on in their WebPreferences. Note that TWikiAccessControls are respected when searching webs; it is much better to use them than NOSEARCHALL . | Current web |
topic="WebPreferences" topic="*Bug" | Limit search to topics: A topic, a topic with asterisk wildcards, or a list of topics separated by comma. Note this is a list of topic names and must not include web names. | All topics in a web |
excludetopic="Web*" excludetopic="WebHome, WebChanges" | Exclude topics from search: A topic, a topic with asterisk wildcards, or a list of topics separated by comma. Note this is a list of topic names and must not include web names. | None |
scope="topic" scope="text" scope="all" | Search topic name (title); the text (body) of topic; or all (title and body) | "text" |
type="keyword" type="word" type="literal" type="regex" type="query" | Control how the search is performed when scope="text" or scope="all" keyword : use Google-like controls as in soap "web service" -shampoo ; searches word parts: using the example, topics with "soapsuds" will be found as well, but topics with "shampoos" will be excluded word : identical to keyword but searches whole words: topics with "soapsuds" will not be found, and topics with "shampoos" will not be excluded literal : search for the exact string, like web service regex : use a RegularExpression search like soap;web service;!shampoo ; to search on whole words use \bsoap\b query : query search of form fields and other meta-data, like (Firstname='Emma' OR Firstname='John') AND Lastname='Peel' | %SEARCHVAR- DEFAULTTYPE% preferences setting (literal) |
order="topic" order="created" order="modified" order="editby" order= | Sort the results of search by the topic names, topic creation time, last modified time, last editor, or named field of TWikiForms. The sorting is done web by web; if you want to sort across webs, create a formatted table and sort it with TablePlugin's initsort. Note that dates are sorted most recent date last (i.e at the bottom of the table). | Sort by topic name |
limit="all" limit="16" | Limit the number of results returned. This is done after sorting if order is specified | All results |
date="..." | limits the results to those pages with latest edit time in the given time interval. | All results |
reverse="on" | Reverse the direction of the search | Ascending search |
casesensitive="on" | Case sensitive search | Ignore case |
bookview="on" | BookView search, e.g. show complete topic text | Show topic summary |

nosearch="on" | Suppress search string | Show search string |
noheader="on" | Suppress default search header Topics: Changed: By: , unless a header is explicitly specified | Show default search header, unless search is inline and a format is specified (Cairo compatibility) |
nototal="on" | Do not show number of topics found | Show number |
zeroresults="off" | Suppress all output if there are no hits | zeroresults="on" , displays: "Number of topics: 0" |
noempty="on" | Suppress results for webs that have no hits. | Show webs with no hits |
headingoffset="2" | Adjust the level of headings in text of topics found, taking effect in $text and $pattern() of a FormattedSearch. A "2" or "+2" increases the level by two, e.g. a ---+ H1 turns into a ---+++ H3. Positive and negative values are supported. Adjusted min and max levels are H1 and H6, respectively. | no adjustment |
header="..." format="..." footer="..." | Custom format results: see FormattedSearch for usage, variables & examples | Results in table |
expandvariables="on" | Expand variables before applying a FormattedSearch on a search hit. Useful to show the expanded text, e.g. to show the result of a SpreadSheetPlugin %CALC{}% instead of the formula | Raw text |
multiple="on" | Multiple hits per topic. Each hit can be formatted. The last token is used in case of a regular expression ";" and search | Only one hit per topic |
nofinalnewline="on" | If on , the search variable does not end in a line by itself. Any text continuing immediately after the search variable on the same line will be rendered as part of the table generated by the search, if appropriate. | off |
recurse="on" | Recurse into subwebs, if subwebs are enabled. | off |
separator=", " | Line separator between search hits | "$n" (Newline) |
newline="%BR%" | Line separator within a search hit. Useful if you want to put multi-line content into a table cell, for example if the format="" parameter contains a $pattern() that captures more than one line, or contains a $formfield() that returns a multi-line textfield. | "$n" (Newline) |
%SEARCH{"wiki" web="Main" scope="topic"}%
%SEARCH{"FAQ" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" header="| *Topic: * | *Summary: * |" format="| $topic | $summary |"}%

(see details).
SubmitExpenseReport
topic where you can create new expense reports, a SubmitVacationRequest
topic, and so on. These can specify the required template topic with its associated form. Template topics has more.
A Form Template specifies the fields in a form. A Form Template is simply a page containing a TWiki table, where each row of the table specifies one form field.
FORMFIELD
, SEARCH
and METASEARCH
variables in TWikiVariables, and TWiki Formatted Search.
ExampleSearching forms this way is obviously pretty inefficient, but it's easy to do. If you want better performance, take a look at some of the structured wiki extensions that support higher performance searching e.g. TWiki:Plugins.DBCachePlugin.
TWiki users often want to have an overview of topics they contributed to. With the$formfield
parameter it is easy to display the value of a classification field next to the topic link:| *Topic* | *Classification* | %SEARCH{"%USERSWEB%.UserName" scope="text" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" format="|<b>[[$web.$topic][$topic]]</b> |<nop>$formfield(TopicClassification) |" web="Sandbox"}%
text
fields when a topic is saved. If you need linefeeds in a field, make sure it is a textarea
.
.tmpl
.
They are usually HTML with embedded template directives.
The directives are expanded when TWiki wants to generate a user interface screen.
%TMPL:<key>%
and %TMPL:<key>{"attr"}%
.
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"file"}%
: Includes a template file. The file is found as described below.
%TMPL:DEF{"block"}%
: Define a block. All text between this and the next %TMPL:END%
directive is removed and saved for later use with %TMPL:P
.
%TMPL:END%
: Ends a block definition.
%TMPL:P{"var"}%
: Includes a previously defined block.
%{...}%
: is a comment.
twiki.tmpl
master template, like twiki.print.tmpl
, that redefines the header and footer.
%TMPL:DEF{"x"}% x%P%z%TMPL:END%
then %TMPL:P{"x" P="y"}%
will expand to xyz
.
Note that parameters can simply be ignored; for example, %TMPL:P{"x"}%
will expand to x%P%z.
Any alphanumeric characters can be used in parameter names.
You are highly recommended to use parameter names that cannot be confused with TWikiVariables.
Note that three parameter names, context
, then
and else
are reserved.
They are used to support a limited form of "if" condition that you can use to select which of two templates to use, based on a context identifier:
%TMPL:DEF{"link_inactive"}%<input type="button" disabled value="Link>%TMPL:END% %TMPL:DEF{"link_active"}%<input type="button" onclick="link()" value="Link" />%TMPL:END% %TMPL:P{context="inactive" then="inactive_link" else="active_link"}% for %CONTEXT%When the "inactive" context is set, then this will expand the "link_inactive" template; otherwise it will expand the "link_active" template. See IfStatements for details of supported context identifiers.
twiki/templates/view.tmpl
is the default template file for the twiki/bin/view
script.
You can save templates in other directories as long as they are listed in the {TemplatePath}
configuration setting.
The {TemplatePath}
is defined in the Miscellaneous section of the configure page.
You can also save templates in user topics (IF there is no possible template match in the templates
directory).
The {TemplatePath}
configuration setting defines which topics will be accepted as templates.
Templates that are included with an explicit '.tmpl'
extension are looked for only in the templates/
directory.
For instance %TMPL:INCLUDE{"example.tmpl"}%
will only return templates/example.tmpl
, regardless of {TemplatePath}
and SKIN settings.
The out-of-the-box setting of {TemplatePath}
supports the following search order to determine which template file or topic to use for a particular script or %TMPL:INCLUDE{"script"}%
statement.
The skin path is set as described in TWikiSkins.

View
dragon
, pattern
. All skins are checked at each stage, in the order they appear in the skin path.

sets the template to be used for viewing a topic
EDIT_TEMPLATE
sets the template for editing a topic.
view
and edit
respectively. The template search order is as specified above.
Tip: If you want to override existing templates, without having to worry that your changes will get overwritten by the next TWiki update, change the {TemplatePath}
so that another directory, such as the %USERSWEB%
appears at the front. You can then put your own templates into that directory or web and these will override the standard templates. (Note that such will increase the lookup time for templates by searching your directory first.)
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
, the templating system will include the next twiki.SKIN in the skin path.
For example, to create a customisation of pattern skin, where you only want to over-ride the breadcrumbs for the view script, you can create only a view.yourlocal.tmpl:
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"view"}% %TMPL:DEF{"breadcrumb"}% We don't want any crumbs %TMPL:END%and then set SKIN=yourlocal,pattern The default
{TemplatePath}
will not give you the desired result if you put these statements in the topic Thisweb.YourlocalSkinViewTemplate
. The default {TemplatePath}
will resolve the request to the template/view.pattern.tmpl
, before it gets to the Thisweb.YourlocalSkinViewTemplate
resolution. You can make it work by prefixing the {TemplatePath}
with: $web.YourlocalSkin$nameTemplate
.
twiki.tmpl
is the default master template. It defines the following sections.
Template variable: | Defines: |
---|---|
%TMPL:DEF{"sep"}% |
"|" separator |
%TMPL:DEF{"htmldoctype"}% |
Start of all HTML pages |
%TMPL:DEF{"standardheader"}% |
Standard header (ex: view, index, search) |
%TMPL:DEF{"simpleheader"}% |
Simple header with reduced links (ex: edit, attach, oops) |
%TMPL:DEF{"standardfooter"}% |
Footer, excluding revision and copyright parts |
Topic Name: | What it is: |
---|---|
WebTopicViewTemplate | Alert page shown when you try to view a nonexistent topic. This page is usually used as a prompt to help you create a new topic. |
WebTopicNonWikiTemplate | Alert page shown when you try to view a nonexistent topic with a non-WikiName. Again, this page is used as a prompt to help you create the new topic. |
WebTopicEditTemplate | Default text used in a new topic. |
<MyCustomNamed>Template | Whenever you create a topic ending in the word "Template", it is automatically added to the list of available templates in the "Use Template" drop down field on the WebCreateNewTopic page. |
edit
script, TWiki locates a topic to use as a content template according to the following search order: templatetopic
CGI parameter Variable: | Description: |
---|---|
%DATE% |
Signature format date. See VarDATE |
%GMTIME% |
Date/time. See VarGMTIME |
%GMTIME{...}% |
Formatted date/time. See VarGMTIME2 |
%NOP% |
A no-operation variable that gets removed. Useful to prevent a SEARCH from hitting an edit template topic; also useful to escape a variable, such as %URLPA%NOP%RAM{...}% escaping URLPARAM |
%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% |
Text that gets removed when a new topic based on the template is created. See notes below. |
%SERVERTIME% |
Date/time. See VarSERVERTIME |
%SERVERTIME{...}% |
Formatted date/time. See VarSERVERTIME2 |
%USERNAME% |
Login name of user who is instantiating the new topic, e.g. guest |
%URLPARAM{"name"}% |
Value of a named URL parameter. See VarURLPARAM. |
%WIKINAME% |
WikiName of user who is instantiating the new topic, e.g. TWikiGuest |
%WIKIUSERNAME% |
User name of user who is instantiating the new tpoic, e.g. Main.TWikiGuest |
%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% ... %ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%
section. For example, you might want to write this in the template topic:
%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% This template can only be changed by: * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.TWikiAdminGroup %ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%This will restrict who can edit the template topic, but will be removed when a new topic based on that template topic is created.
%NOP%
can be used to prevent expansion of TWiki variables that would otherwise be expanded during topic creation. For example, escape %SERVERTIME%
with %SER%NOP%VERTIME%
.
type="expandvariables"
section in the template topic, such as:
...Example: If you have the following content in a template topic:
* %SYSTEMWEB%.ATasteOfTWiki - view a short introductory presentation on TWiki for beginners * %SYSTEMWEB%.WelcomeGuest - starting points on TWiki * %SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiUsersGuide - complete TWiki documentation * Sandbox.%HOMETOPIC% - try out TWiki on your own * Sandbox.%TOPIC%Sandbox - just for meyou will get this raw text in new topics based on that template topic:
* TWiki.ATasteOfTWiki - view a short introductory presentation on TWiki for beginners * TWiki.WelcomeGuest - starting points on TWiki * TWiki.TWikiUsersGuide - complete TWiki documentation * Sandbox.WebHome - try out TWiki on your own * Sandbox.JimmyNeutronSandbox - just for me
formtemplate
CGI parameter to the edit
script to specify the name of a form to attach.
See TWikiScripts for information about all the other parameters to edit
.
AUTOINC<n>
to the topic name in the edit and save scripts, and it will be replaced with an auto-incremented number on topic save. <n>
is a number starting from 0, and may include leading zeros. Leading zeros are used to zero-pad numbers so that auto-incremented topic names can sort properly. Deleted topics are not re-used to ensure uniqueness of topic names. That is, the auto-incremented number is always higher than the existing ones, even if there are gaps in the number sequence.
Examples: BugAUTOINC0
- creates topic names Bug0
, Bug1
, Bug2
, ... (does not sort properly)
ItemAUTOINC0000
- creates topic names Item0000
, Item0001
, Item0002
, ... (sorts properly up to 9999)
DocIDAUTOINC10001
- start with DocID10001
, DocID10002
, ... (sorts properly up to 99999; auto-links)
[[%SCRIPTURLPATH{edit}%/%WEB%/BugIDAUTOINC00001?templatetopic=BugTemplate;topicparent=%TOPIC%;t=%SERVERTIME{"$day$hour$min$sec"}%][Create new item]]
templatetopic
specifies ExampleTopicTemplate as the template topic to use. Here is the HTML source of the form:
<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{edit}%/Sandbox/"> * New example topic: <input type="text" name="topic" value="ExampleTopicAUTOINC0001" size="30" /> <input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="ExampleTopicTemplate" /> <input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="%TOPIC%" /> <input type="hidden" name="onlywikiname" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="onlynewtopic" value="on" /> <input type="submit" class="twikiSubmit" value="Create" /> </form>Note: You can create a topic in one step, without going through the edit screen. To do that, specify the
save
script instead of the edit
script in the form action. When you specify the save script you have to use the "post" method. Example:
<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{save}%/Sandbox/" method="post"> ... </form>The
edit
and save
scripts understand many more parameters, see TWikiScripts#edit and TWikiScripts#save for details.
TIP: You can use the %WIKIUSERNAME%
and %DATE%
variables in your topic templates to include the signature of the person creating a new topic. The variables are expanded into fixed text when a new topic is created. The standard signature is: -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE%
twiki/templates
directory and are named according to the skin: <scriptname>.<skin>.tmpl
. Skin files may also be defined in TWiki topics - see TWikiTemplates for details.
To start creating a new skin, copy the default TWikiTemplates (like view.tmpl
), or copy an existing skin to use as a base for your own skin. You should only need to copy the files you intend to customise, as TWiki can be configured to fall back to another skin if a template is not defined in your skin. Name the files as described above (for example view.myskin.tmpl
.
If you use PatternSkin as your starting point, and you want to modify the layout, colors or even the templates to suit your own needs, have a look first at the topics PatternSkinCustomization and PatternSkinCssCookbook.
For your own TWiki skin you are encouraged to show a small 80x31 pixel logo at the bottom of your skin:
<a href="http://twiki.org/"><img src="%PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif" alt="This site is powered by the TWiki collaboration platform" width="80" height="15" title="This site is powered by the TWiki collaboration platform" border="0" /></a>
The standard TWiki skins show the logo in the %WEBCOPYRIGHT%
variable.
Note: Two skin names have reserved meanings; text
skin, and skin names starting with rss
have hard-coded meanings.
The following template files are used for TWiki screens, and are referenced in the TWiki core code. If a skin doesn't define its own version of a template file, then TWiki will fall back to the next skin in the skin path, or finally, to the default version of the template file.

twiki.tmpl
is a master template conventionally used by other templates, but not used directly by code.
Note: Make sure templates do not end with a newline. Any newline will expand to an empty <p />
in the generated html. It will produce invalid html, and may break the page layout.
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
, the templating system will include the next twiki.SKIN in the skin path.
For example, to create a customisation of pattern skin, where you only want to remove the edit & WYSIWYG buttons from view page, you create only a view.yourlocal.tmpl
:
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"view"}% %TMPL:DEF{"edit_topic_link"}%%TMPL:END% %TMPL:DEF{"edit_wysiwyg_link"}%%TMPL:END%and then set
SKIN=yourlocal,pattern
.
Because ClassicSkin and the default templates use the same Template definition names, you can over-ride the edit links in them (or any skin derived from them) using the same view.yourlocal.tmpl
(just set SKIN=yourlocal,classic either in TWikiPreferences for globally, or a Web's Webname.WebPreferences for a particular web)

to jump to an external web site. The feature is handy if you build a skin that has a select box of frequently used links, like Intranet home, employee database, sales database and such. A little JavaScript gets into action on the onchange
method of the select tag to fill the selected URL into the "Go" box field, then submits the form.
Here is an example form that has a select box and the Jump Box for illustration purposes. You need to have JavaScript enabled for this to work:
Note: Redirect to a URL only works if it is enabled in configure
(Miscellaneous, {AllowRedirectUrl}
).

skin.tmpl
, where skin is the name of the skin e.g. pattern
. If no template is found, then the fallback is to use view.tmpl
. Each skin on the path is searched for in turn. For example, if you have set the skin path to local,pattern
then view.local.tmpl
will be searched for first, then view.pattern.tmpl
and finally view.tmpl
.
The basic skin is defined by a SKIN
setting:
Set SKIN = catskin, bearskin
?skin=catskin,bearskin
:
Setting SKIN
(or the ?skin
parameter in the URL) replaces the existing skin path setting, for the current page only. You can also extend the existing skin path as well, using covers.
Set COVER = ruskin
ruskin, catskin, bearskin
). There is also an equivalent cover
URL parameter. The difference between setting SKIN
vs. COVER
is that if the chosen template is not found (e.g., for included templates), SKIN
will fall back onto the next skin in line, or the default skin, if only one skin was present, while COVER
will always fall back onto the current skin.
An example would be invoking the printable mode, which is achieved by applying ?cover=print
. The view.print.tmpl
simply invokes the viewprint
template for the current skin which then can appropriately include all other used templates for the current skin. Where the printable mode be applied by using SKIN
, all skins would have the same printable appearance.
The full skin path is built up as follows: SKIN
setting (or ?skin
if it is set), then COVER
setting is added, then ?cover
.
text
skin is reserved for TWiki internal use.
Skin names starting with rss
also have a special meaning; if one or more of the skins in the skin path starts with 'rss' then 8-bit characters will be encoded as XML entities in the output, and the content-type
header will be forced to text/xml
.

utility. Example on Unix:time wget -qO /dev/null /twiki/bin/view/TWiki/AbcPlugin
If you need to install an "expensive" plugin, but you only need its functionality only in a subset of your data, you can disable it elsewhere by defining the %DISABLEDPLUGINS% TWiki variable.
Define DISABLEDPLUGINS
to be a comma-separated list of names of plugins to disable. Define it in Main.TWikiPreferences to disable those plugins everywhere, in the WebPreferences topic to disable them in an individual web, or in a topic to disable them in that topic. For example,
* Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = SpreadSheetPlugin, EditTablePlugin
{PluginsOrder}
in the plugins section of configure.
Set VARCACHEPLUGIN_REFRESH = 24
%<pluginname>_<setting>%
, such as %VARCACHEPLUGIN_REFRESH%
.
To learn how this is done, use the TWiki:Plugins.VarCachePlugin documentation and Perl plugin code as a reference.
2. Use configure settings:
The administrator can set plugin settings in the configure interface. Recommended if only site administrators should be able to change settings. Chose this option to set sensitive or dangerous system settings, such as passwords or path to executables. To define plugin-specific configure settings,
lib/TWiki/Plugins/YourPlugin/
with variables, such as$TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{RecentVisitorPlugin}{ShowIP} = 0;
$showIP = $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{RecentVisitorPlugin}{ShowIP} || 0;
Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Show recent visitors to a TWiki site
our $SHORTDESCRIPTION = 'Show recent visitors to a TWiki site';
our $NO_PREFS_IN_TOPIC = 1;

The plugin API handles the details of connecting your Perl module with main TWiki code. When you're familiar with the Plugin API, you're ready to develop plugins.
The TWiki:Plugins.BuildContrib module provides a lot of support for plugins development, including a plugin creator, automatic publishing support, and automatic installation script writer. If you plan on writing more than one plugin, you probably need it.
lib/TWiki/Plugins/EmptyPlugin.pm
to <name>Plugin.pm
. The EmptyPlugin.pm
module contains mostly empty functions, so it does nothing, but it's ready to be used. Customize it. Refer to the Plugin API specs for more information.
If your plugin uses its own modules and objects, you must include the name of the plugin in the package name. For example, write Package MyFirstPlugin::Attrs;
instead of just Package Attrs;
. Then call it using:
use TWiki::Plugins::MyFirstPlugin::Attrs; $var = MyFirstPlugin::Attrs->new();
MyFirstPlugin
, press enter and create the new topic
OUTLINE: Doc Topic Contents
Check the plugins web on TWiki.org for the latest plugin doc topic template. Here's a quick overview of what's covered: Syntax Rules: <Describe any special text formatting that will be rendered.>" Example: <Include an example of the plugin in action. Possibly include a static HTML version of the example to compare if the installation was a success!>" Plugin Settings: <Description and settings for custom plugin %VARIABLES%, and those required by TWiki.>" Plugin Installation Instructions: <Step-by-step set-up guide, user help, whatever it takes to install and run, goes here.>" Plugin Info: <Version, credits, history, requirements - entered in a form, displayed as a table. Both are automatically generated when you create or edit a page in the TWiki:Plugins web.>"

TWiki::Func::getWorkArea()
function, which gives you a persistent directory where you can store data files. By default they will not be web accessible. The directory is guaranteed to exist, and to be writable by the webserver user. For convenience, TWiki::Func::storeFile()
and TWiki::Func::readFile()
are provided to persistently store and retrieve simple data in this area.
TWiki::Func::saveAttachment()

configure
configure
rather than trying to use TWiki preferences variables. These extensions use Config.spec
files to publish their configuration requirements.
Config.spec
files are read during TWiki configuration. Once a Config.spec
has defined a configuration item, it is available for edit through the standard configure
interface. Config.spec
files are stored in the 'plugin directory' e.g. lib/TWiki/Plugins/BathPlugin/Config.spec
.
Config.spec
file Config.spec
file for an extension starts with the extension announcing what it is:
# ---+ Extensions # ---++ BathPlugin # This plugin senses the level of water in your bath, and ensures the plug # is not removed while the water is still warm.This is followed by one or more configuration items. Each configuration item has a type, a description and a default. For example:
# **SELECT Plastic,Rubber,Metal** # Select the plug type $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{PlugType} = 'Plastic'; # **NUMBER** # Enter the chain length in cm $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{ChainLength} = 30; # **BOOLEAN EXPERT** # Set this option to 0 to disable the water temperature alarm $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{TempSensorEnabled} = 1;The type (e.g.
**SELECT**
) tells configure
to how to prompt for the value. It also tells configure
how to do some basic checking on the value you actually enter. All the comments between the type and the configuration item are taken as part of the description. The configuration item itself defines the default value for the configuration item. The above spec defines the configuration items $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{PlugType}
, $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{ChainLength}
, and $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{TempSensorEnabled}
for use in your plugin. For example,
if( $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{TempSensorEnabled} && $curTemperature > 50 ) { die "The bathwater is too hot for comfort"; }The Config.spec file is read by
configure
, which then writes LocalSite.cfg
with the values chosen by the local site admin.
A range of types are available for use in Config.spec
files:
BOOLEAN | A true/false value, represented as a checkbox |
COMMAND length | A shell command |
LANGUAGE | A language (selected from {LocalesDir} |
NUMBER | A number |
OCTAL | An octal number |
PASSWORD length | A password (input is hidden) |
PATH length | A file path |
PERL | A perl structure, consisting of arrays and hashes |
REGEX length | A perl regular expression |
SELECT choices | Pick one of a range of choices |
SELECTCLASS root | Select a perl package (class) |
STRING length | A string |
URL length | A url |
URLPATH length | A relative URL path |
EXPERT | means this an expert option |
M | means the setting is mandatory (may not be empty) |
H | means the option is not visible in configure |
lib/TWiki.spec
for many more examples.
Config.spec
files for non-plugin extensions are stored under the Contrib
directory instead of the Plugins
directory.
Note that from TWiki 5.0 onwards, CGI scripts (in the TWiki bin
directory) provided by extensions must also have an entry in the Config.spec
file. This entry looks like this (example taken from PublishContrib)
# **PERL H** # Bin script registration - do not modify $TWiki::cfg{SwitchBoard}{publish} = [ "TWiki::Contrib::Publish", "publish", { publishing => 1 } ];
PERL
specifies a perl data structure, and H
a hidden setting (it won't appear in configure
). The first field of the data value specifies the class where the function that implements the script can be found. The second field specifies the name of the function, which must be the same as the name of the script. The third parameter is a hash of initial context settings for the script.
TWiki:TWiki/SpecifyingConfigurationItemsForExtensions has supplemental documentation on configure settings.

TWiki::Plugins
version in which the handler was first deprecated. For example, if we need to define the endRenderingHandler
for compatibility with TWiki::Plugins
versions before 1.1, we would add this to the plugin:
package TWiki::Plugins::SinkPlugin; use vars qw( %TWikiCompatibility ); $TWikiCompatibility{endRenderingHandler} = 1.1;If the currently-running TWiki version is 1.1 or later, then the handler will not be called and the warning will not be issued. TWiki with versions of
TWiki::Plugins

%PLUGINVERSION%
TWiki variable, and accessed in code using

Notes on use of $TWiki::Plugins::VERSION

1.
) is the same then any plugin coded to use any earlier revision of the 1.
API will still work. No function has been removed from the interface, nor has any API published in that version changed in such a way as to require plugins to be recoded.
TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
also applies to the plugin handlers. The handlers are documented in the EmptyPlugin, and that module indicates what version of TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
it relates to.

if the LWP
CPAN module is
installed.
Note that the $url
may have an optional user and password, as specified by
the relevant RFC. Any proxy set in configure
is honoured.
The $response
is an object that is known to implement the following subset of
the methods of LWP::Response
. It may in fact be an LWP::Response
object,
but it may also not be if LWP
is not available, so callers may only assume
the following subset of methods is available:
code() |
message() |
header($field) |
content() |
is_error() |
is_redirect() |
require LWP
.
is_error()
will return
true, code()
will return a valid HTTP status code
as specified in RFC 2616 and RFC 2518, and message()
will return the
message that was received from
the server. In the event of a client-side error (e.g. an unparseable URL)
then is_error()
will return true and message()
will return an explanatory
message. code()
will return 400 (BAD REQUEST).
Note: Callers can easily check the availability of other HTTP::Response methods
as follows:
my $response = TWiki::Func::getExternalResource($url); if (!$response->is_error() && $response->isa('HTTP::Response')) { ... other methods of HTTP::Response may be called } else { ... only the methods listed above may be called }Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.2

to ensure the current user has read access to the
topic.
See usage example at TWiki::Func::saveTopic.
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$web
- Web name, e.g. 'Main'
, or empty
$topic
- Topic name, e.g. 'MyTopic'
, or "Main.MyTopic"
$rev
- Topic revision to read, optional. Specify the minor part of the revision, e.g. "5"
, not "1.5"
; the top revision is returned if omitted or empty.
$ignorePermissions
- Set to "1"
if checkAccessPermission() is already performed and OK; an oops URL is returned if user has no permission
$text
Topic text with embedded meta data; an oops URL for calling redirectCgiQuery() is returned in case of an error
This method is more efficient than readTopic
, but returns meta-data embedded in the text. Plugins authors must be very careful to avoid damaging meta-data. You are recommended to use readTopic instead, which is a lot safer.

$query
- CGI query object. Ignored, only there for compatibility. The session CGI query object is used instead.
$url
- URL to redirect to
$passthru
- enable passthrough.
$passthru
parameter allows you to pass the parameters that were passed
to the current query on to the target URL, as long as it is another URL on the
same TWiki installation. If $passthru
is set to a true value, then TWiki
will save the current URL parameters, and then try to restore them on the
other side of the redirect. Parameters are stored on the server in a cache
file.
Note that if $passthru
is set, then any parameters in $url
will be lost
when the old parameters are restored. if you want to change any parameter
values, you will need to do that in the current CGI query before redirecting
e.g.
my $query = TWiki::Func::getCgiQuery(); $query->param(-name => 'text', -value => 'Different text'); TWiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery( undef, TWiki::Func::getScriptUrl($web, $topic, 'edit'), 1);
$passthru
does nothing if $url
does not point to a script in the current
TWiki installation.

$header
- the HTML to be added to the section. The HTML must be valid in a HEAD tag - no checks are performed.
requires
optional, comma-separated list of id's of other head blocks this one depends on.

- The name of the variable, i.e. the 'MYVAR' part of %MYVAR%. The variable name must match /^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$/ or it won't work.
\&fn
- Reference to the handler function.
$syntax
can be 'classic' (the default) or 'context-free'. 'classic' syntax is appropriate where you want the variable to support classic TWiki syntax i.e. to accept the standard %MYVAR{ "unnamed" param1="value1" param2="value2" }%
syntax, as well as an unquoted default parameter, such as %MYVAR{unquoted parameter}%
. If your variable will only use named parameters, you can use 'context-free' syntax, which supports a more relaxed syntax. For example, %MYVAR{param1=value1, value 2, param3="value 3", param4='value 5"}%
sub handler(\%session, \%params, $topic, $web)where:
\%session
- a reference to the TWiki session object (may be ignored)
\%params

- name of the web in the query
$meta
- topic meta-data to use while expanding, can be undef (Since TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.4)

%EXEC{"ps -Af" silent="on"}%
Registered tags differ from tags implemented using the old TWiki approach (text substitution in commonTagsHandler
) in the following ways: commonTagsHandler
is only called later, when all system tags have already been expanded (though they are expanded again after commonTagsHandler
returns).

- a reference to the TWiki session object (may be ignored)
TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler('example', \&restExample);This adds the
restExample
function to the REST dispatch table
for the EmptyPlugin under the 'example' alias, and allows it
to be invoked using the URL
http://server:port/bin/rest/EmptyPlugin/example
note that the URL
http://server:port/bin/rest/EmptyPlugin/restExample
(ie, with the name of the function instead of the alias) will not work.
format
parameters that are used to block evaluation of paramater strings.
For example, if you were to write
%MYTAG{format="%WURBLE%"}%
then %WURBLE would be expanded before %MYTAG is evaluated. To avoid
this TWiki uses escapes in the format string. For example:
%MYTAG{format="$percntWURBLE$percnt"}%
This lets you enter arbitrary strings into parameters without worrying that
TWiki will expand them before your plugin gets a chance to deal with them
properly. Once you have processed your tag, you will want to expand these
tokens to their proper value. That's what this function does.
Escape: | Expands To: |
---|---|
$n or $n() |
New line. Use $n() if followed by alphanumeric character, e.g. write Foo$n()Bar instead of Foo$nBar |
$nop or $nop() |
Is a "no operation". |
$quot |
Double quote (" ) |
$percnt |
Percent sign (% ) |
$dollar |
Dollar sign ($ ) |
$searchString
- the search string, in egrep format
$web
- The web to search in

- reference to a list of topics to search
\%option
- reference to an options hash
\%options
hash may contain the following options: type
- if regex

casesensitive
- false to ignore case (default true)
files_without_match
- true to return files only (default false). If files_without_match
is specified, it will return on the first match in each topic (i.e. it will return only one match per topic, and will not return matching lines).

$TWiki::cfg{LogFileName}
or call the internal TWiki
function directly should be fixed to use writeLog
.
To maintain compatibility with older TWiki releases, you can write conditional code as follows:
if( defined &TWiki::Func::writeLog ) { # use writeLog TWiki::Func::writeLog( $web, $topic, 'myevent', $extra ); } else { # deprecated code if plugin is used in older TWiki releases $TWiki::Plugins::VERSION > 1.1 ? $TWiki::Plugins::SESSION->writeLog( 'myevent', "$web.$topic", $extra ) : TWiki::Store::writeLog( 'myevent', "$web.$topic", $extra ); }

is true, and 0 otherwise. "true" means set to
something with a Perl true value, with the special cases that "off",
"false" and "no" (case insensitive) are forced to false. Leading and
trailing spaces in $value
are ignored.
If the value is undef, then $default
is returned. If $default
is
not specified it is taken as 0.

version in which the handler was first deprecated. For example, if we need to define the endRenderingHandler
for compatibility with TWiki::Plugins
versions before 1.1, we would add this to the plugin:
package TWiki::Plugins::SinkPlugin; use vars qw( %TWikiCompatibility ); $TWikiCompatibility{endRenderingHandler} = 1.1;If the currently-running TWiki version is 1.1 or later, then the handler will not be called and the warning will not be issued. TWiki with versions of
TWiki::Plugins
before 1.1 will still call the handler as required.
The following functions are retained for compatibility only. You should
stop using them as soon as possible.
getScriptUrl
instead.
Return: $path
URL path of TWiki scripts, e.g. "/cgi-bin"
WARNING: you are strongly recommended not to use this function, as the
{ScriptUrlPaths} URL rewriting rules will not apply to urls generated
using it.

$web
- Web name, e.g. 'Main'
. The current web is taken if empty
$topic
- Topic name, e.g. 'WebNotify'
$template

. The 'oops' is optional; 'mistake' will translate to 'oopsmistake'.
$param1
... $param4
- Parameter values for %PARAM1% ... %PARAMn% variables in template, optional
$url
URL, e.g. "http://example.com:80/cgi-bin/oops.pl/ Main/WebNotify?template=oopslocked¶m1=joe"
DEPRECATED since 1.1, the recommended approach is to throw an oops exception.
use Error qw( :try ); throw TWiki::OopsException( 'toestuckerror', web => $web, topic => $topic, params => [ 'I got my toe stuck' ]);(this example will use the
oopstoestuckerror
template.)
If this is not possible (e.g. in a REST handler that does not trap the exception)
then you can use getScriptUrl
instead:
my $url = TWiki::Func::getScriptUrl($web, $topic, 'oops', template => 'oopstoestuckerror', param1 => 'I got my toe stuck'); TWiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery( undef, $url ); return 0;Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$web
- Web name, required, e.g. 'Sandbox'
getPreferencesValue
instead to determine
what permissions are set on the web, for example:

getListOfWebs
instead.
Get list of all public webs, e.g. all webs that do not have the NOSEARCHALL
flag set in the WebPreferences
Return: @webs
List of all public webs, e.g. ( 'Main', 'Know', 'TWiki' )
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (07 Dec 2002)
formatTime
instead.
Format the time to GM time $time
- Time in epoc seconds
$format
- Format type, optional. Default e.g. '31 Dec 2002 - 19:30'
, can be 'iso'
(e.g. '2002-12-31T19:30Z'
), 'rcs'
(e.g. '2001/12/31 23:59:59'
, 'http'
for HTTP header format (e.g. 'Thu, 23 Jul 1998 07:21:56 GMT'
)
$text
Formatted time string
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$dir
Data directory, e.g. '/twiki/data'
This function violates store encapsulation and is therefore deprecated.
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (07 Dec 2002)
$dir/Web/TopicName
Return: $dir
Pub directory, e.g. '/htdocs/twiki/pub'

twiki/bin
and twiki/tools
directories. This topic describes the interfaces to some of those scripts. All scripts in the twiki/bin
directory can be called from the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) environment or from the command line. The scripts in the twiki/tools
directory can only be called from the command line.
twiki/bin
directory.
guest
).
twiki/bin
directory on the perl path to run the scripts from the command line. To avoid issues with file permissions, run the scripts as the web server user such as nobody
or www
.
Parameters are passed on the command line using '-name' - for example,
$ cd /usr/local/twiki/bin $ save -topic MyWeb.MyTopic -user admin -action save -text "New text of the topic"All parameters require a value, even if that is the empty string.
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
topic |
If this is set to a URL, TWiki will immediately redirect to that URL. Otherwise it overrides the URL and is taken as the topic name (you can pass Web.TopicName) | |
user |
Command-line only; set the name of the user performing the action. Note: this usage is inherently insecure, as it bypasses webserver login constraints. For this reason only authorised users should be allowed to execute scripts from the command line. | |
skin |
Overrides the default skin path (see TWikiSkins) | |
cover |
Specifies temporary skin path to prepend to the skin path for this script only (see TWikiSkins) |
attach
upload
. This script is part of the transactions sequence executed when a file is uploaded from the browser. it just generates the "new attachment" page for a topic.
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|

script can receive one parameter:
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
minor |
If 0, show only major changes. If 1, show all the changes (both minor and major) | 0 |
%SEARCH%
, while this script reads the changes
file in each web, making it much faster.
Note: The result from changes
script and the topic WebChanges can be different, if the changes
file is deleted from a web. In particular, in new installations the changes
script will return no results while the WebChanges topic will.
configure
configure

The parameter value can be a TopicName , a Web.TopicName , or a URL.Note: Redirect to a URL only works if it is enabled in configure (Miscellaneous {AllowRedirectUrl} ). |
|
t |
Provide a unique URL each time a topic is edited, typically specifying parameter t=%SERVERTIME{$epoch}% in an edit link. This is done to prevent browsers from caching an edit session, which could result in editing outdated content. The parameter name and value is arbitrary, but must be unique each time. |
Status
the parameter name is Status
. X
characters in the topic name will be converted on save to a number such that the resulting topic name is unique in the target web.

rest
TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler
method. The rest

parameter is specified, in which case it will output a redirect to the given topic.
The rest
script supports the following parameters:
username |
If TemplateLogin , or a similar login manager not embedded in the web server, is used, then you need to pass a username and password to the server. The username and password parameters are used for this purpose. |
password |
See username |
topic |
If defined as the full name (including web) of a topic, then when the script starts up plugins will be passed this as the "current" topic. If not defined, then Main.WebHome will be passed to plugins. |
endPoint |
Where to redirect the response once the request is served, in the form "Web.Topic" |
rest
script should always require authentication in any TWiki that has logins. Otherwise there is a risk of opening up major security holes. So make sure you add it to the list of authenticated scripts if you are using ApacheLogin
.
rest
script assumes that it will be called with URL in the form:
http://my.host/bin/rest/<subject>/<verb>
where <subject>
must be the WikiWord name of one of the installed TWikiPlugins, and the <verb>
is the alias for the function registered using the TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler
method. The <subject>
and <verb>
are then used to lookup and call the registered function.
<subject>
and <verb>
are checked for illegal characters exactly in the same way as the web and topic names.
As an example, the EmptyPlugin has registered a function to be used with the rest
script under the subject EmptyPlugin and the verb example. Click below to see the rest
script in action (run as TWikiGuest).
Call the Plugin
Note that for Plugins to register REST handlers, they must be enabled in configure
.

view
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
raw=on |
Shows the text of the topic in a scrollable textarea | |
raw=debug |
As raw=on , but also shows the metadata (forms etc) associated with the topic. |
|
raw=text |
Shows only the source of the topic, as plain text (Content-type: text/plain). Only shows the body text, not the form or other meta-data. | |
raw=all |
Shows only the source of the topic, as plain text (Content-type: text/plain), with embedded meta-data. This may be useful if you want to extract the source of a topic to a local file on disc. | |
section |
Allows to view only a part of the topic delimited by a named section (see VarSTARTSECTION). If the given section is not present, no topic content is displayed. | |
contenttype |
Allows you to specify a different Content-Type: (e.g. contenttype=text/plain ) |
|
rev |
Revision to view (e.g. rev=45 ) |
|
template |
Allows you to specify a different skin template, overriding the 'view' template the view script would normally use. The default template is view . For example, you could specify /twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts?template=edit. This is mainly useful when you have specialised templates for a TWiki Application. |
|
topic |
redirects to show the specified Web.Topic, or, redirects to a URL, if allowed by {AllowRedirectUrl} and {PermittedRedirectHostUrls} configure settings |
|
createifnotexist |
If createifnotexist is set to 1 and in case the topic does not exist, it is created automatically on view. Useful to create topics automatically based on a specific template (see example below). Behind the scene, the view script redirects first to the save script, passing along all URL parameters. Thus all URL parameters of the save script can be used, such as templatetopic , topicparent and redirectto . Next, the save script creates the topic and redirects back to the view script (or displays an error in case there were any issues creating the topic). |
createifnotexist
to link to the bookmark page of a user, and to create the page on the fly if needed:[[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%USERSWEB%/%WIKINAME%Bookmarks?createifnotexist=1&templatetopic=%SYSTEMWEB%.UserBookmarksTemplate&topicparent=%WIKINAME%][Bookmarks]]
For historical reasons, the view
script has a special interpretation of the text
skin. In earlier TWiki versions the skin=text
parameter was used like this:
http://.../view/MyWeb/MyTopic?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain&raw=on
which shows the topic as plain text; useful for those who want to download plain text for the topic.
Using skin=text
this way is DEPRECATED, use raw=text
instead.
viewfile
pub
) directory using a URL. However if it contains sensitive information, you will want to protect attachments using TWikiAccessControls. In this case, you can use the viewfile
script to give access to attachments while still checking access controls.

filename |
name of attachment | |
rev |
Revision to view |
filename
parameter, you can append the attachment name
to the end of the URL path (after the topic) e.g. https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/viewfile/Webname/TopicName/Attachment.gif
twiki/tools
directory.
geturl.pl
wget
and curl
commands. geturl.pl <host> <path> [<port> [<header>]]

mailnotify
is called by a background process at regular intervals. The script sends an automated e-mail to subscribed users if topics were changed in a web since the script was last run.
%NOTIFYTOPIC%
*
subscriber [ :
topics ]
Where subscriber can be a WikiName, an E-mail address, or a
group name. If subscriber contains any characters that are not legal in
an email address, then it must be enclosed in 'single' or "double" quotes. Please note that the guest user TWikiGuest does not have an email address mapped to it, and will never receive email regardless of the configuration of that user.
topics is an optional space-separated list of topics:
*
in a topic name, where it is treated as a wildcard character. A *
will match zero or more other characters - so, for example, Fred*
will match all topic names starting with Fred
, *Fred
will match all topic names ending with Fred
, and *
will match all topic names.
* daisy.cutter@flowers.comSubscribe Daisy to all changes to topics that start with
Web
.
* daisy.cutter@flowers.com : Web*Subscribe Daisy to changes to topics starting with
Petal
, and their immediate children, WeedKillers and children to a depth of 3, and all topics that match start with Pretty
and end with Flowers
e.g. PrettyPinkFlowers
* DaisyCutter: Petal* (1) WeedKillers (3) Pretty*FlowersSubscribe StarTrekFan to changes to all topics that start with
Star
except those that end in Wars
, sInTheirEyes
or shipTroopers
.

IT:admins
(a non-TWiki group defined by an alternate user mapping) to all changes to Web* topics.
* 'IT:admins' : Web*A user may be listed many times in the WebNotify topic. Where a user has several lines in WebNotify that all match the same topic, they will only be notified about changes that topic once (though they will still receive individual mails for news topics). If a group is listed for notification, the group will be recursively expanded to the e-mail addresses of all members. Warning: Because an email address is not linked to a user name, there is no way for TWiki to check access controls for subscribers identified by email addresses. A subscriber identified by an email address alone will only be sent change notifications if the topic they are subscribed to is readable by guest users. You can limit what email addresses can be used in %NOTIFYTOPIC%, or even block use of emails altogether, using the
{MailerContrib}{EmailFilterIn} setting in =configure
.
Tip: List names in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the names.
Note for System Administrators: Notification is supported by an add-on to the TWiki kernel called the MailerContrib. See the MailerContrib topic for details of how to set up this service.
Note: If you prefer a news feed, point your reader to WebRss (for RSS 1.0 feeds) or WebAtom (for ATOM 1.0 feeds). Learn more at WebRssBase and WebAtomBase, respectively.
You can also use %USERSWEB%
instead of Main
, but this is not necessary even if you have renamed the main web by configuring {MainWebName}
in configure.

%SEARCH{ "\.*" scope="topic" type="regex" nosearch="on" }%
%STATISTICSTOPIC%
TWiki also generates overall site usage statistics in Main.SiteStatistics (do not create that page, it is created automatically based on SiteStatisticsTemplate). On a monthly basis, the following items are recorded using system data and TWiki log data across all webs: Number of webs, number of topics, number of attachments, number of topic views, number of topic updates, number of files uploads, data size, pub size, disk use, number of users, number of groups, number of plugins installed compared to total number of plugins available, and the 10 top contributors.
{Log}{view}
, {Log}{save}
and {Log}{upload}
are set in configure. This will generate log file entries (see below).
twiki/bin/statistics
script from a cron job - once a day is recommended. This will update the SiteStatistics and the WebStatistics topics in all webs.
nobody
or www-data
. Example crontab entry: 0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki/bin; ./statistics >/dev/null 2>&1)
nobody
: Run the utility twiki/tools/geturl.pl
in your cron job and specify the URL of the twiki/bin/statistics
script as a parameter. Example: 0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki/tools; ./geturl.pl mydomain.com /urlpath/to/twiki/bin/statistics >/dev/null 2>&1)
geturl.pl
will do a TWiki CGI request as the TWikiGuest user, so if you use this workaround, the WebStatistics topics you are updating will have to be writable by TWikiGuest.
cd twiki/bin; ./statistics -logdate 2011-05 -webs TWiki,Sandbox
twiki/bin/statistics
script can also be executed as a CGI script - just enter the URL in your browser. Examples: /twiki/bin/statistics
/twiki/bin/statistics/Main
/twiki/bin/statistics/Main?logdate=2024-10
/twiki/bin/statistics?logdate=2024-10;webs=ProjectX,ProjectY,ProjectZ

Net::SMTP
module if it is installed on your system. Set this with the SMTPMAILHOST
variable in TWikiPreferences.
The notify e-mail uses the default changes.tmpl
template, or a skin if activated in the TWikiPreferences.
mailnotify also relies on two hidden files in each twiki/data/Web
directory: .changes
and .mailnotify.
Make sure both are writable by your web server process. .changes
contains a list of changes; go ahead and make this empty. .mailnotify
contains a timestamp of the last time notification was done.
You can use an external mail program, such as sendmail
, if the Net::SMTP
module is not installed. Set the program path in {MailProgram}
in configure.
SMTPMAILHOST
in TWikiPreferences to an empty value.
SMTPSENDERHOST
variable to define the mail sender host (some SMTP installations require this).
cron
table so that mailnotify
is called in an interval of your choice. Please consult man crontab
of how to modify the table that schedules program execution at certain intervals. Example:
% crontab -e 0 1 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki; perl -I bin tools/mailnotify -q)The above line will run mailnotify nightly at 01:00. The
-q
switch suppresses all normal output. Details at MailerContrib.
For ISP installations: Many ISPs don't allow hosted accounts direct cron access, as it's often used for things that can heavily load the server. Workaround scripts are available.
On Windows: You can use a scheduled task if you have administrative privileges. TWiki:Codev/CronTabWin is a free scheduler for Windows.
Trash

[More topic actions]
(bottom right of page) on the topic to be changed, then, in the new screen, on [Delete topic]
or [Rename/move topic]
. You can now rename and/or move/delete in one operation:
[Rename/Move]
: the topic will be renamed and links to the topic updated as requested. [Rename/Move]
.
Rename/Move/Delete
- an instruction line and undo link will appear at the bottom of the modified topic. This allows you to revert from the last modification only.
Trash
web - they are NOT physically erased from the server. All webs share Trash
- in case of a name conflict with a topic already Trash
, the user is alerted and asked to choose a new name.
The Trash
web should be be cleared periodically, by archiving (saving) the text and RCS files if required (recommended), then deleting them from the Trash
directory.
Trash
directory is all that's required for maintenance, it's possible to grant Trash
admin privileges to multiple users, while strictly limiting server access.
%META:TOPICMOVED{...}%
. Customize something like this:
%METASEARCH{type="topicmoved" web="%WEB%" topic="%TOPIC%" title="This topic used to exist and was moved to: "}%Note: Do not modify the TWiki.WebTopicViewTemplate - modifications would be lost on the next TWiki upgrade. Instead, create a WebTopicViewTemplate in the Main web with the same content and modify it to your needs.
%SEARCH%
, with a special template, finds and displays all occurrences of the topic name in other topics, site-wide. These referring links are by default automatically changed to the new topic and/or web name. This includes relevant TWikiMetaData definitions. <pre>
and <verbatim>
are honored - no changes are made to text within these areas.

. Next, all webs (including the current one) are listed that match web.topic
. All webs will be searched during rename, even if NOSEARCHALL

is used in preference to web.topic

access. See TWikiAccessControl for information on setting up access permissions.

The following shows some limitations of square bracket processing.

tells us that we view topic WebNotify located in the Sandbox web.
Tip: The URL of a web's homepage ends in /WebHome
by default. The name of the homepage topic can safely be omitted to make for shorter and more legible links. For example, http://twiki.example.com/do/view/Sandbox
links to the homepage of the Sandbox web.
_default
). All topics in the template web will be copied into your new web.
The second method is to use an existing web as a template web. This may be useful if you already have a web that you would like to use as a starting point. Only topics that have names beginning with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify", etc.) are copied.
In either case you will want to be sure to verify that your new web has all the custom modifications that you desire. Any TWikiVariables defined in the form below will automatically be set in the WebPreferences of the new web.
ROOTCHANGE

{EnableHierarchicalWebs}
setting in configure is enabled. Hierarchical webs are currently enabled.
Note: You might not need hierarchical webs. TWiki topics already have a parent/child relationship within a web, which is shown in the breadcrumb. Try to keep the number of webs to a minimum in order to keep search and cross-referencing simple. TWiki runs faster if hierarchical webs are disabled.
You can create hierarchical webs via the Adding a New Web form above, by using a slash- or dot-separated path name which is based on an existing web name in the Name of new web: field.
Example:
To create a sub-web named Bar
inside a web named Foo
, use Foo/Bar
or Foo.Bar
as the new web name in the form above.

declarations, if any.templates/registerconfirm.tmpl
templates/registernotify.tmpl
templates/registernotifyadmin.tmpl

dir, this cannot use Template topics.
These template files have a specific format that matches the raw format of emails sent via SMTP, so be careful and test your changes. It is easiest to start by copying the default templates:
cd twiki/templates cp registernotify.tmpl registernotify.myskin.tmpl cp registerconfirm.tmpl registerconfirm.myskin.tmpl cp registernotifyadmin.tmpl registernotifyadmin.myskin.tmplthen add
myskin
to the beginning of the SKIN
setting in TWikiPreferences.
From this point on, your myskin templates will be used for the registration emails.
To make it possible for TWikiUsers to modify the email contents, you could use a parameterized %INCLUDE%
statement in your customized version. e.g.:
From: %WIKIWEBMASTERNAME% <%WIKIWEBMASTER%> To: %FIRSTLASTNAME% <%EMAILADDRESS%> Subject: %MAKETEXT{"[_1] - Registration for [_2] ([_3])" args="%WIKITOOLNAME%, %WIKINAME%, %EMAILADDRESS%"}% MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=%CHARSET% Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit %INCLUDE{ "Main.RegistrationNotification" WIKINAME="%WIKINAME%" FIRSTLASTNAME="%FIRSTLASTNAME%" EMAILADDRESS="%EMAILADDRESS%" }%Note: The use of %WIKINAME%, %FIRSTLASTNAME%, %EMAILADDRESS% passed in from the INCLUDE so that the topic below is similar to the original template. And then create a topic Main.RegisterNotifyEmail:
Welcome to %WIKITOOLNAME%. %MAKETEXT{"Your personal [_1] topic is located at [_2]. You can customize it as you like:" args="%WIKITOOLNAME%, %SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%USERSWEB%/%WIKINAME%"}% * %MAKETEXT{"Some people turn it into a personal portal with favorite links, what they work on, what help they'd like, etc."}% * %MAKETEXT{"Some add schedule information and vacation notice."}% Regards %WIKIWEBMASTERNAME% Your TWiki Admin %MAKETEXT{"Note:"}% 2 %MAKETEXT{"You can change your password at via [_1]" args="%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%SYSTEMWEB%/ChangePassword"}% 3 %MAKETEXT{"If you haven't set a password yet or you want to reset it, go to: [_1]" args="%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%SYSTEMWEB%/ResetPassword"}% %MAKETEXT{"Submitted content:"}% %FORMDATA%Note: Remember to secure the topic appropriately to prevent attackers from getting emailed sensitive passwords.

.
{SiteLocale}
setting in configure - this enables you to have a slightly different spelling of the character set in the server locale (e.g. 'eucjp') and the HTTP header sent to the browser (e.g. 'euc-jp').
This feature should also support use of Mozilla Browser with TWiki:Codev.TWikiOnMainframe (as long as mainframe web server can convert or pass through UTF-8 URLs) - however, this specific combination is not tested. Other browser-server combinations should not have any problems.
Please note that use of UTF-8 as the site character set is not yet supported - see Phase 2 of TWiki:Codev.ProposedUTF8SupportForI18N for plans and work to date in this area.
This feature is complete in TWiki releases newer than February 2004.
Note for skin developers: is no longer required (TWiki:Plugins.InternationalisingYourSkin).
