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.

Default Web Preferences

• 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 © 2008-2024 by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors.

• • 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.

• 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

    Main | Public | Public.Chinese | Public.Public | Public.Public.Chinese | Sandbox | Sandbox.Sandbox | TWiki

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 .
