Daya Bay Site-Level Preferences

NOTE: Don't edit this topic, changes will be lost on the next TWiki upgrade. Define new site-level settings, or overload below settings in Public.TWikiPreferences

Preference settings local to your site should be set in Public.TWikiPreferences (this topic is pointed to by {LocalSitePreferences}, which is set by the admin in the configure interface). Settings in Public.TWikiPreferences will override settings in this topic, and should be used for defining custom settings and variables.

• List of selected topics in a web (used in menus)

• Web-specific background color: (is overwritten by web preferences)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFD8AA

• • Set FAVICON = /twiki/pub/Sandbox/WebPreferences/favicon.ico

• Image, URL and alternate tooltip text of web's logo.

• Copyright notice:
  • Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = Copyright © 2008-2025 by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors.

• • Set WEBRSSCOPYRIGHT = Copyright 2025 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.

• Prevent automatic linking of WikiWords and acronyms (if set to on); link WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
  • Set NOAUTOLINK =

• Use topic title instead of topic name in forced links, such as in link [[BugItem1234]]. If enabled, the link label is set to the form field named "Title", the topic preferences setting named TITLE, or the topic name if neither exists. Forced links with label such as [[BugItem1234][bug 1234]] are not affected. The topic title can be shown even with disabled flag by using syntax [[+BugItem1234]]. NOTE: Page rendering may be slower if enabled and if there are many forced links in a topic.
  • Set SHOWTOPICTITLELINK =

• • 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{}% :

• Fixed pulldown menu-bar, on or off. If on, the menu-bar is always visible at the top, regardless of the window scroll position. If off, the menu-bar hides when scrolled, and can be shown by hovering over the gray TWiki icon.
  • Set FIXEDTOPMENU = off

• • Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = off
  • #Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = $username - $date - $rev: $summary

• • #Local TAGCLOUDPROFILE = on

• Horizontal size of text edit box:

• Style of text edit box. Set to width: 99% for full window width (default; this will overwrite the EDITBOXWIDTH setting), or width: auto to disable. This setting works for IE and some other recent browsers.
  • Set EDITBOXSTYLE = width:99%

• • Set FORCENEWREVISIONCHECKBOX =

• • Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX =

• Default state of the link check box in the attach file page. Checkbox is initially checked if Set ATTACHLINKBOX = checked="checked", or unchecked if empty (Set ATTACHLINKBOX =). If checked, a link is created to the attached file at the end of the topic:

  • Set WIKIHOMEURL = /twiki/bin/view/Public/WebHome

• • Set WIKIWEBLIST = Public  |  TWiki  |  Sandbox

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).

• • 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 #FFD8AA .
