- Set WEBRSSCOPYRIGHT = Copyright 2024 by contributing authors
- Exclude web from a
web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs; is overwritten by web preferences) Note it is much better to use TWikiAccessControls in individual webs to control who can and can't view the contents of a web. NOSEARCHALL is retained for compatibility, but you should avoid using it.

- Note: Use the
[[...][...]] syntax to link topics in case you disabled WikiWord linking. The <noautolink> ... </noautolink> syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.

- If you use non WikiWords for topic names (for example "Expenses" or "Mighty1") and if you use bracket notation to link to those topics, it is useful to turn of all warnings (like: "WARNING: This topic name is not recommended because it will not be linked automatically") and checkboxes ("Allow non WikiWord for the new topic name"). Can be overwritten by web preferences. Set to
on to activate:
- Set HIDE_NON_WIKI_WORD_WARNINGS =
|
| |
- Warn if
%INCLUDE{}% of topic fails: Fail silently if empty or off. Output warning message (defined in templates/oopsalerts.tmpl) if set to on. Otherwise output specific text (use $topic for topic). You can override this in web preferences, or by using a warn="..." parameter with %INCLUDE{}% :

- Show tool-tip topic info on mouse-over of WikiWord links. Setting can be on, off, or customized. An empty setting or off setting disables the tool-tips (for better performance). The setting can contain $summary to show the topic summary, $date for the last change date, $rev for the revision, $username for the login name of the last editor, $wikiname for the WikiName, $wikiusername for Main.WikiName, $topic for the topic name, and $web for the web name

- Some skins have two editors available; the default editor, and a second editor which is usually a WYSIWYG editor (the second editor is used by hitting the WYSIWYG link in
pattern or classic skins). If COMPOSER is not set, the second editor will work the same as the default editor. If the WysiwygPlugin is installed and it is set to 'kupu' (the default), then the Kupu WYSIWYG editor will be enabled. You can change the setting to use any editor that is enabled by setting the cover parameter on the edit URL.
- Set COMPOSER = kupu
- Enable content checks before editing
- Set WYSWIYGPLUGIN_WYSIWYGSKIN = kupu
- Disable WYSIWYG on pages that contain complex TML. On pages that have complex TML, WYSIWYG will fall back to the default text editor.
- Set WYSIWYG_EXCLUDE = calls

- Horizontal size of text edit box: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
|
| |
- Image, URL and alternate tooltip text of the logo for this installation: you should change these settings for your site, or they can be overwridden in WebPreferences for individual webs by defining these variables there.

- Format of a NewWikiWord link:
- Note that
$text is the topic link text, $topic is the name of the new topic, and $web is the name of the web for the new topic. Values for the 3 are taken from the link syntax [[$web.$topic][$text]]. For normal plain WikiWord links $text and $topic are the same. The value of $web is the current web unless the link is in the format $web.$topic.

- default setting:
- Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text?

Creating New Preference Variables
You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
- A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item:
[3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
|
|
<
< |
- Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs:
%. Example:

- Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs:
%. Example:
|

-
- When you write variable
%WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .
- The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set
WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
