*%WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% Web Preferences*

The following settings are __web preferences__ of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. These preferences overwrite the __site-level preferences__ in %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC%, and can be overwritten by __user preferences__ (your personal topic, i.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiGuest in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web)


__Preferences:__

	* List of topics of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web:
		* Set WEBTOPICLIST = %WEB% . {
				<a href="%HOMETOPIC%">Home</a>
			 | <a href="TWikiUsers">Users</a>
			 | <a href="OfficeLocations">Offices</a>
			 | <a href="WebChanges">Changes</a>
			 | <a href="WebIndex">Index</a>
			 | <a href="WebSearch">Search</a>
			 | Go <input type="text" name="topic" size="16">
		  }

	* Web specific background color:
		* Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0

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

	* Users or groups who __are not__ / __are__ allowed to change topics in the %WEB% web: (See %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl)
		* Set DENYWEBCHANGE = 
		* Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = 

	* Users or groups allowed to change this <nop>%TOPIC% topic: (I.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup)
		* Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = 

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

__Notes:__
	* A preference is defined as: <br> =6 spaces * Set NAME = value= <br> Example:
		* S<nop>et WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
	* Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
		* When you write variable =%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%= , it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= .
	* The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set =<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT= before =<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER= since =%<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT%= uses the =%<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER%= variable.
	* You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).
