Foswiki.PM Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Foswiki.PM web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in DefaultPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWikiGuest? in the Foswiki.Main web)

Preferences:

• Set WEBTITLE = Dresden Perl Mongers
• Set WEBTOPBAR = Home  |  Changes  |  Index  |  Neuer Nutzer?  |  Admin  |  Suche

• Set SKIN = pattern
• PatternSkin settings:
  • #Set TWIKILAYOUTURL = http://renormalist.net/foswiki/pub/TWiki/PatternSkin/bluelayout.css
  • #Set TWIKISTYLEURL = http://renormalist.net/foswiki/pub/TWiki/PatternSkin/bluestyle.css

• Set RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX = checked="checked"

• List of topics of the Foswiki.PM web (HIER DIE MENÜLEISTEN PFLEGEN):
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Home  |  Changes  |  Index  |  Neuer User  |  Admin
  • Set PMTOPICLIST = Home MailingListe Termine/Treffen Tagebuch Projekte Downloads Links Bücher Donation Impressum Sandbox TWiki -Free4All-
  • Set HACKGROUPSLIST = c3d2 LUG Unixstammtisch TeX-Stammtisch

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors) #0099FF
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFFF

• List this web in the SiteMap:
  • If yes, set SITEMAPLIST to on, do not set NOSEARCHALL, and add the "what" and "use to..." description for the site map. Make sure to list only links that include the name of the web, e.g. PM.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Dresden Perl Mongers
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...collaborate on the PerlMongers Homepage.

• Exclude web from a web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs)
  • Set NOSEARCHALL =

• Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web:
  • WebTopicEditTemplate?: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
  • TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default template
  • TWikiForms?: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS =

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the PM web: (See TWikiAccessControl?)
  • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
  • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
  • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
  • #Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = PerlMongersGroup?
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME =
  • #Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = PerlMongersGroup?

• Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (I.e. TWikiAdminGroup?)
  • #Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
  • #Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = PerlMongersGroup?
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = PerlMongersGroup?

• Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
  • Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME

Notes:

• 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 #FFFFFF .
• 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 Foswiki engine (Perl scripts).
